to check FPs and FNs +

The following example creates Sentence elements between dots.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; import com.workfusion.vds.sdk.api.nlp.annotator.Annotator; import com.workfusion.vds.sdk.api.nlp.model.IeDocument; import com.workfusion.vds.sdk.api.nlp.model.Sentence; public class SentenceAnnotator implements Annotator<IeDocument> { @Override public void process(IeDocument document) { Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\."); Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(document.getText()); int index = 0; while (matcher.find()) { // add sentence into document document.add(Sentence.descriptor() .setBegin(index) .setEnd(matcher.start())); index = matcher.end(); } } }

Regardless of the type of Use Case, all Data Analyst responsibilities can be divided into three main stages:

1 Data set collection: The most considerable and important stage makes up more than half of all DA work. Mistakes made and not corrected here may entail serious risks in terms of timelines and achievement of success criteria. As a prerequisite to this stage, DAs should get familiar with different aspects of the project, clearly understand the business logic of the use case, what type is it (Information Extraction / Classification), what fields/classes will be used, document types and formats etc. 2 Model Training and analysis of results: This stage is implemented by close cooperation of DA and ML Engineer. 3 Preparation of the final report: At the end of the project, final results should be presented to the customer.

=tp/tp+fn Precision (calculated per class only) shows how exact is classification: among all the objects defined by the model as red squares, which of them actually belong to this class? It's calculated the following way:P = Correctly classified red squares/Total number of objects classified as red squares (the same for blue circles or any other class).

Classification

A Classification use case is applied when it is necessary to define the class for the item (document). By class, we usually mean different document types. For example invoices, purchase orders and claims are processed in one workflow and each document type is handled differently. That means we need to classify these documents first before applying automation.

Natural language processing/ NLP

A branch of artificial intelligence that deals with the interaction between computers and humans by using the natural language, such as speech or signing.

OnDestroy

A method annotated with OnDestroy follows these conventions: Called only once when the information extraction process is fully complete. Used to release resources by removing objects/references, that the OnDestroy method is holding. Method is optional.

OnDocumentComplete

A method annotated with OnDocumentComplete follows these conventions: Called only once for a whole Document to release the resources, while the extract() method is called for all Tokens in a Document. Method is optional.

OnDocumentStart

A method annotated with OnDocumentStart follows these conventions: Called only once for each document before extract() method. Accepts a Document and element type (Token by default) to perform feature extraction. Method is optional. Typical usage: If the feature extraction logic requires to analyze large structures or entire documents for each Token, it is a good practice to do pre-calculations on the Document level, and then use it with the extract() method to improve the performance.

OnInit is a method-level annotation for FeatureExtractor used to define a method that should be invoked after the constructor.

A method annotated with OnInit should follow these conventions: Called only once when a FeatureExtractor instance is created. Accepts a Map<String, Object> of parameters. These parameters are context-specific and typically not required for a common Feature Extractor. Accepts a special builder for index caching and type of focus Element, by default — Token. For details, refer to the Indexes and Cache section. Method is optional. A method annotated with OnInit is typically used to initialize regex patterns, add dynamic cached indexes, etc.

Grouping

A model can extract multiple field values of the same type (for example, Currency, Quantity, and Price) that should be joined into a group according to their logical connection. For example, you may need to group Product Name, Amount and Price. Field values can be grouped based on their position in a document or words in a sentence, based on a table line, or based on some underlying custom logic.

Natural Language Generation / NLG

A subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that produces language as output on the basis of data input.

Information Extraction

An Information Extraction (IE) use case is used when data defined by business logic is taken out (extracted) from documents and processed according to business rules. In terms of Information Extraction, each use case data point is referred as a "field". For example, invoice number, supplier name and quantity of products have to be extracted from all invoices. It means there are three fields (invoice number, supplier name and quantity) to be extracted from documents in this use case.

Intelligent Character Recognition / ICR

language-extractor

Detects the language of the given website.

Building a supervised ML model usually includes the following steps:

Determine what type of objects should be used for training.In WorkFusion, the most common problems are classification and information extraction. For classification, the object is a pair document-class. For information extraction an object is a pair gold value-field. Gold value is the information that should be extracted. Collect the training set which represents how the function can be used in real world.In WorkFusion use cases, we apply human-in-the-loop approach for supervision and consistent quality. Training sets are usually created by manually labeling the documents for classification and gold values for information extraction. In rare cases, training sets are tagged automatically using the provided historical data. Determine the features that represent the learned function.The model performance quality strongly depends on how the input objects are represented. Typically, the input object is transformed into a feature vector, which contains a number of features describing this object. The number of features should not be too large but should contain enough information to predict objects correctly. In WorkFusion's out-of-the-box models, features are defined automatically while in custom models they are created manually. Determine the structure of the learned function and corresponding learning algorithm. Complete the development phase (not required with WorkFusion out-of-the-box models).Train the learning algorithm on the available training set and produce a model. Evaluate the performance of the learned model.Following the training process, we need to evaluate the performance of the resulting model. In order to ensure the objectivity of evaluation, we recommend using a test set that was not part of the training set.

What is the key difference bewteen RDA and RPA

So, the key difference is that RDA is always initiated by a person and assists in real time. Whereas in RPA, people are only involved for exceptions handling. A good example of where RDA can be applied is a call center. The operator needs to collect the required data as soon as possible, so she or he triggers an RDA bot, which automatically fill in information about a customer after the agent takes a call and might build a transaction report. Then the operator can continue handling the request.

Running (HPO) Training from Control Tower

To start model (HPO) training from CT, the following steps are taken: Create a manual task selecting ML Model, BP Use Case and Training Set (assuming training set is ready and uploaded as Automation Training Set to CT) in the Automation options: Creating a Manual Task. Run and stop the task to start model evaluation: Starting a Training Process. Note that to see the training BP, you need to select Automation Training filter in Business Processes view — by default, training processes are hidden. Once training is finished, you will see an AUTOMATION AVAILABLE label on the manual task. Then you can click on the label, set accuracy threshold, and apply recommendation to create a process with Automation sub-process in it: Setting Up an Automation Chart. Now you can run the Automation process with the trained model extracting data: Running a Cognitive Business Process.

Document type:

Type of document that is processed in the Use Case depending on the industry. For example: statement of value, invoice, email, purchase order, loan booking, reconciliation, annual reports, etc. Usually in the Information Extraction (IE) use case, there is one document type, and in the Classification use case, there are several. A DA needs to consider the quantity of document types, their logic, and representativeness.

The requirement of completion means:

if a field is present in the document, all the tokens belonging to the field must be tagged

Implementing Annotator Interface All custom Annotator classes should implement an Annotator interface, as in the following example.

import com.workfusion.vds.sdk.api.nlp.annotator.Annotator; import com.workfusion.vds.sdk.api.nlp.model.IeDocument; public class MyAnnotator implements Annotator<IeDocument> { @Override public void process(IeDocument document) { // TODO put your code here } }

Extract The extract() method applies the main algorithm for feature extraction which performs the analysis of the provided Document structure, and then extracts features for a specified Token element. The extract() method is called for each Token and returns a list of features. The extraction process is parallel for all fields in a Document. The following Feature Extractor produces a feature when a Token contains only digits.

import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Collection; import java.util.List; import com.workfusion.vds.sdk.api.nlp.fe.Feature; import com.workfusion.vds.sdk.api.nlp.fe.FeatureExtractor; import com.workfusion.vds.sdk.api.nlp.model.Document; import com.workfusion.vds.sdk.api.nlp.model.Element; public class DigitsOnlyFE<T extends Element> implements FeatureExtractor<T> { private final static String FEATURE_NAME = "DigitsOnly"; @Override public Collection<Feature> extract(Document document, T element) { List<Feature> features = new ArrayList<>(); if (element.getText().matches("[0-9]+")) { features.add(new Feature(FEATURE_NAME, 1.0)); } return features; } }

key areas with the best RPA opportunities are:

1 Human resources The entire hire-to-retire spectrum is ripe with opportunity. This is because HR tends to require information management and standardization across a large variety of systems and applications. Think of a talent acquisition process, for example, which might involve several applications itself — ranging from personnel databases and file managers to salary and compensation analysis tools. 2 Finance and accounting This area has vast opportunities as the processes are also rule-based, requiring high degrees of accuracy and speed, which RPA is designed for. Some common areas are order management, billing, regulatory compliance, accounting and reconciliation. 3 Procurement This is a prime area thanks to the structured documents and data. Examples are invoice processing, spend data management, purchase order management, and contract management, which often involve communicating and validating data across different databases and ordering systems.

The Six pillars of Automation Strategy

1 Process Excellence: Processes are both efficient and effective. Excellent processes undergo regular improvement and minimize rework and waste. 2 Automation Governance: Prescribes the monitoring, management, enhancement, production hardening and re-architecting of systems under automation. 3 Data Governance: Management principles, access and usage decision rights, and stewardship for managing and securing the organization's data resources. 4 Automation Applications Governance: Selection of the right tools for the right job is an important part of the strategy. Application governance helps select, introduce and manage technology tools through the initiative. 5 Technical Skills: Hiring, training and technically supporting the architecture, design, coding, testing and deployment professionals necessary for automation success. 6 Sustainable deployment: Maintaining automated applications, including the software robots, tools, technology and documentation to keep applications operating correctly and efficiently.

Three things to see if something is a candidate for RPA

1 Check inputs and outputs involved in a process .Processes with structured standardized inputs are more suitable than processes that use unstructured ones. Structured inputs examples are spreadsheets databases, JSON files, CSV files, XML and other electronic feeds. Because of their digital and structured nature, they're a better fit for RPA than scanned documents, faxes, handwritten forms or emails. 2. Look for routine and rule-based processes. A process where employees follow a strict set of rules is more suitable for RPA than one that includes decisions open to employee judgment. If you think your process is too complicated, try to break into its smallest constituent parts. You will find that much of the work in an organization can be classified as highly rule-based and therefore highly automatable. 3. Consider the type of data in a process. RPA works best with data in the form of text and numbers because it can guarantee accuracy when programmed correctly. Image interpretation is possible in some cases, but it's usually better to use Intelligent Automation solutions when image recognition is required.
