Focaloid Technologies offers an innovative approach that combines the strengths of open-source OCR, cloud-based OCR services, and advanced Large Language Models LLMs) to deliver superior accuracy, adaptability, and continuous improvement – all while optimizing for cost efficiency.
This solution is particularly valuable for small and medium-sized enterprises and startups seeking to streamline document-heavy processes. It delivers:
The explosion of data in digital form poses a unique challenge for businesses: how to efficiently process and leverage this data for competitive advantage. Traditional OCR technologies have made strides in extracting text from images and documents, but Legacy OCR often falls short when encountering:
Integrating these technologies with the latest advancements in LLMs, such as OpenAI’s models, propels this capability into a new realm of efficiency and effectiveness.
This white paper outlines Focaloid Technologies’ approach to harnessing these technologies, providing a roadmap for SMEs and startups looking to streamline their document-heavy processes.
Solution
At the heart of our innovative document processing solution lies the seamless integration of Optical Character Recognition OCR technology with the advanced capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). This integration is not merely about enhancing accuracy but also about harnessing the power of continuous learning to adapt and improve over time. Our approach leverages the unique few-shot learning abilities of LLMs, setting our solution apart from traditional machine learning algorithms.
The cornerstone of our solution is a multi-tiered OCR processing strategy. Initially, documents are scanned using an open-source OCR engine, providing a cost-effective method for converting images of text into machine-encoded text. This stage is designed to maximize efficiency, processing a wide array of documents with high accuracy.
Each document scan is accompanied by a confidence score, a metric that assesses the accuracy of the OCR output. This score is pivotal in ensuring the reliability of the data extracted. Documents that meet or exceed a predefined confidence threshold are accepted for further processing, while those that fall short are subjected to a secondary scan.
Documents that do not meet the initial confidence criteria are processed through a more sophisticated cloud-based OCR engine, such as Amazon Textract, Azure AI Vision, or Google Cloud Vision. This step underscores our commitment to accuracy, employing advanced technology to salvage data from documents that pose a challenge to less capable engines.
The integration of LLMs with OCR technologies not only enhances efficiency and accuracy but also introduces a dynamic capability for continuous improvement. Leveraging few-shot learning, LLMs quickly adapt to new data patterns and contexts, significantly reducing the time and resources required for training. This continuous improvement cycle ensures our solution evolves over time, becoming increasingly effective at processing a diverse range of documents with minimal human intervention.
