December 19, 2022

v1beta3

The Document AI OCR Processor has the following new features:

  • The OCR Processor now supports extracting embedded text from digital PDFs in public preview. A fallback to the optical OCR model is automatically triggered to extract text in the regions when the PDF being processed contains non-digital text. To opt into this feature, set process_options.ocr_config.enable_native_pdf_parsing=true in your API request to the OCR Processor.

  • Added advanced versioning support to the Document AI OCR, which enables OCR users to pin to a historical model version. When enabled, OCR outputs are guaranteed to be consistent and virtually frozen, with zero behavioral drifts. To enable advanced versioning, select the release candidate version pretrained-ocr-v1.2-2022-11-10 in your Document AI console.

Known issues with the digital PDF feature of the Document AI OCR Processor:

  • On a small number of documents, the word ordering within lines of text as reported by native text extraction might be wrong.

  • On certain documents, invisible text embedded in a native PDF may be reported.

  • On certain Japanese documents, currency symbols such as Yen might be incorrectly extracted as /.

  • On certain documents, apostrophe symbols may be missing in word/line results.

  • On certain documents, native text extraction might report different word/line results than those obtained by image-based OCR on an identical document.

December 15, 2022

October 10, 2022

v1beta3

Known issue (Document Labeling)

  • If you delete one or more documents, and these documents selected for deletion are all associated with an active labeling job, then all documents in that dataset will also be deleted, even if you did not select them for deletion. This is true regardless of the number of documents selected.

    Workaround: Do not delete documents during an active labeling job. You can track active labeling jobs on the Dataset management page, under the category Labeling tasks, located on the right side of the page. If you absolutely must delete documents during an active labeling job, ensure that you also select at least one document that is NOT part of this active labeling job. Then, only the non-associated documents will be deleted, and the remaining documents in the dataset will be preserved.

September 29, 2022

v1beta3

This launch upgrades the lifecycle stage of the Custom Document Extractor (CDE) component of the DocAI Workbench from Private Preview to Public Preview. CDE covers essential workflows for developing custom document extraction processors with E2E UI support:

  • Data import
  • Schema creation and annotation
  • Processor model training
  • Evaluation and troubleshooting
  • Model deployment and version management
  • Human-in-the-loop (HITL) integration for "last-mile" processor quality assurance

Notable new Public Preview Custom Document Extractor (CDE) features include:

  • Progressive data import
  • Direct import of annotated .json files as training or test datasets
  • Data labeling platform integration
  • Dataset export with metadata preserved
  • Auto-labeling using a trained processor version at import to minimize manual annotation efforts
  • Tabular entity end-to-end support
  • Checkbox boolean annotation, training, and extraction
  • Fuzzy matching for more flexible model evaluation
  • Exportable / downloadable model evaluation metrics

The following features have been upgraded:

  • Data import
  • Schema creation and annotation
  • Processor model training
  • Evaluation and troubleshooting
  • Model deployment and version management
  • Human-in-the-loop (HITL) integration for "last-mile" processor quality assurance

Known issues

  • During labeling, checkboxes default to a state that does not reflect the selected or unselected states in the corresponding documents.

    Workaround: Label all checkboxes within a schema, regardless of whether they are selected or unselected,  for optimal checkbox extraction quality and accurate evaluation. When annotating a checkbox by drawing its bounding box, all checkboxes in the CDE annotation user interface will default to an unselected state, and you must manually update the selected or unselected state as necessary.

  • If a processor is deleted when there is an active labeling task ongoing, the task does not stop automatically. Labelers and Labeler Managers will still see the task in their labeling and manager consoles.

    Workaround: Cancel the active labeling task before you delete the processor. Otherwise, navigate to the manager console to pause or delete the corresponding task queue. Any documents labeled from that task after the processor is deleted will be unretrievable.

  • Some discrepancies might exist between pretrained and uptrained versions of a processor.

  • On the Evaluate & Test tab, the evaluation does not show as complete until you click Refresh Table.

  • If you cannot choose a specialist pool due to no chooser for the specialists, clicking Continue causes an error.

    Workaround: Click Task Details to go back and fill in remaining details.

  • Support for nested entities is limited to data arranged in a tabular format. Other layouts are currently not supported.

    Any mention of "nested entities" in previous versions of the Document AI Workbench documentation have been replaced with "tabular entities" to reflect the table-based nesting capabilities for this launch.

  • If you see this message, "This processor does not currently support uptraining or evaluation capabilities" on a processor in the Processor gallery, this means that only the prediction endpoint is available at this time.

  • In some cases, required_once and optional_once entities appear multiple times in a document, with the same value copied to multiple locations. While one annotation is s sufficient when annotating a test set for evaluation, all copies should be annotated to ensure higher recall for trained models.

    Workaround: Annotate all instances of an entity within a doc. This will support both Evaluation and Training without any infrastructure changes.

  • Existing Human in the Loop (HITL) configurations for Label-level filters do not automatically populate to new processor configurations.

    Workaround: If you require changes to the configuration, navigate to the Human-In-The-Loop tab. Under Set filters, select Label-level filters and click Set Label Filters. A Label-level filters page opens. Manually edit this table to configure all of the labels needed for validation and review.

  • Support for handwritten entity detection such as signatures, dates, and initials are limited and may require additional configuration for proper evaluation.

    Workaround: When evaluating pretrained processors, the Value should be manually updated to YES if the entity is present, or NO otherwise. For uptrained processor versions, the Value should be kept as detected by OCR. This issue affects W9, HUD92900B, SSA-1099, and VBA26-0551 processors.

  • When you attempt to select a specialist pool for a labeling task, and there are missing fields in the form, and then click Continue, you might get an error.

    Workaround: Click Task Details, and enter the missing details in the form. You can then successfully create a labeling task.

September 15, 2022

v1beta3

Schema support for checkboxes and nested entitites

  • Customers using Document AI Workbench, and processors for Purchase Order (PO), Invoice, or Expense, now have access to a new schema. This schema enables customers to label checkboxes, if they are defined in the schema, and to accurately represent nested entities, such as parent-child relationships, on the HITL annotation and review console. As additional processors adapt the new schema, these release notes will be updated to include those.

Nested entities

  • The Annotation console now supports labeling for nested entities. The left panel is refreshed with a new look for nested rows to represent nested entities. The value of "parent" will now be the concatenation of all its "children". The parent is effectively a container for all of its children.
