Deep Document Analysis Task

A Deep Document Analysis Task is a document analysis task that is a deep analysis task (which that involves the analysis and interpretation of the content in a document to extract relevant information and relationships among the information elements).

AKA: Document Understanding.
Context:
- It can (typically) include tasks such as Named Entity Recognition, Sentiment Analysis, Summarization, and Relation Extraction.
- It can be a fundamental step in information retrieval, content classification, and knowledge extraction from unstructured text.
- It can range from understanding simple documents like news articles to complex documents like legal agreements and scientific papers.
- It can involve both syntactic analysis and semantic understanding of the text.
- It can be performed using rule-based, statistical, or machine learning techniques.
- …
Example(s):
- Extracting named entities and their relationships from a news article.
- Categorizing and tagging content in a document for content management systems.
- Creating a summary and extracting key points from a scientific paper.
- Analyzing customer feedback documents for sentiment and trends.
- a Legal Contract Understanding Task.
- …
Counter-Example(s):
- Image Recognition which involves understanding visual content rather than text.
- Speech Recognition which involves converting spoken language into text.
- …
