Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The processor is connected to the memory and configured to accept input of a threshold of a confidence level indicating how confident a recognition result obtained by recognizing an image is; when the threshold whose input is accepted is applied to an actual data group constituted by one or more pieces of actual data that are recognition results accumulated as actual performance results, classify the actual data group by necessity of validation on the basis of a result of comparison between a confidence level in each of the one or more pieces of actual data in the actual data group and the threshold; and perform control to display classification results obtained by the classification.

Claims (52)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor connected to the memory and configured to

accept input of a threshold of a confidence level indicating how confident a recognition result obtained by recognizing an image is,

when the threshold whose input is accepted is applied to an actual data group constituted by one or more pieces of actual data that are recognition results accumulated as actual performance results, classify the actual data group by necessity of validation on the basis of a result of comparison between a confidence level in each of the one or more pieces of actual data in the actual data group and the threshold, and

perform control to display classification results obtained by the classification,

wherein the classification results include:

a first result for at least one first piece of actual data that requires validation when the threshold is applied to the actual data group,

a second result for at least one second piece of actual data that requires no validation when the threshold is applied to the actual data group,

a third result for at least one third piece of actual data that requires validation when an existing threshold different from the threshold is applied to the actual data group, and

a fourth result for at least one fourth piece of actual data that requires no validation when the existing threshold is applied to the actual data group.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor further performs control to accept whether to set the threshold on a classification result screen that displays the classification results.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the image comprises a form image indicating a document form, and

the processor accepts input of the threshold for each frame in the form image.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the result for the at least one first piece of actual data that requires validation and the result for the at least one second piece of actual data that requires no validation comprise the numbers of pieces of actual data or representative images.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the representative images comprise an image of a piece of actual data having a lowest confidence level among the at least one first piece of actual data that requires validation, and an image of a piece of actual data having a lowest confidence level among the at least one second piece of actual data that requires no validation.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the result for the at least one third piece of actual data that requires validation and the result for the at least one fourth piece of actual data that requires no validation comprise the numbers of pieces of actual data or representative images.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the representative images comprise an image of a piece of actual data having a lowest confidence level among the at least one third piece of actual data that requires validation, and an image of a piece of actual data having a lowest confidence level among the at least one fourth piece of actual data that requires no validation.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor further performs control to display information indicating validity of the classification results on a classification result screen that displays the classification results.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein

the information indicating the validity of the classification results comprises the minimum number of pieces of actual data required to calculate a threshold satisfying a pre-designated target accuracy.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein

the processor further performs control to display a warning on the classification result screen when the number of pieces of actual data in the actual data group is less than the minimum number of pieces of actual data.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein

the processor further performs control to prohibit setting of the threshold on the classification result screen when the number of pieces of actual data in the actual data group is less than the minimum number of pieces of actual data.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor further performs control to display a man-hour reduction rate on the basis of classification results obtained when the threshold is applied to the actual data group and on the basis of classification results obtained when an existing threshold different from the threshold is applied to the actual data group, the man-hour reduction rate being estimated when the threshold is applied in place of the existing threshold.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

accepting input of a threshold of a confidence level indicating how confident a recognition result obtained by recognizing an image is,

when the threshold whose input is accepted is applied to an actual data group constituted by one or more pieces of actual data that are recognition results accumulated as actual performance results, classifying the actual data group by necessity of validation on the basis of a result of comparison between a confidence level in each of the one or more pieces of actual data in the actual data group and the threshold, and

performing control to display classification results obtained in the classifying,

wherein the classification results include:

a first result for at least one first piece of actual data that requires validation when the threshold is applied to the actual data group,

a second result for at least one second piece of actual data that requires no validation when the threshold is applied to the actual data group,

a third result for at least one third piece of actual data that requires validation when an existing threshold different from the threshold is applied to the actual data group, and

a fourth result for at least one fourth piece of actual data that requires no validation when the existing threshold is applied to the actual data group.

14. An information processing apparatus comprising:

means for accepting input of a threshold of a confidence level indicating how confident a recognition result obtained by recognizing an image is,

means for, when the threshold whose input is accepted is applied to an actual data group constituted by one or more pieces of actual data that are recognition results accumulated as actual performance results, classifying the actual data group by necessity of validation on the basis of a result of comparison between a confidence level in each of the one or more pieces of actual data in the actual data group and the threshold, and

means for performing control to display classification results obtained by the means for classifying the actual data group,

wherein the classification results include:

a first result for at least one first piece of actual data that requires validation when the threshold is applied to the actual data group,

a second result for at least one second piece of actual data that requires no validation when the threshold is applied to the actual data group,

a third result for at least one third piece of actual data that requires validation when an existing threshold different from the threshold is applied to the actual data group, and

a fourth result for at least one fourth piece of actual data that requires no validation when the existing threshold is applied to the actual data group.
