Inferlink Corporation was awarded a $150,000 Project Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the NOAA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program (CFDA 11.021) to develop an end-to-end system for transcribing semi-structured data from document images into digital tabular outputs. The proposed approach employs joint reasoning architecture combining optical character recognition and structure recognition in a single neural network to extract tabular data from handwritten or typed documents with high accuracy. Additionally, the system will allow users to rapidly correct any extraction mistakes in an example-based manner to efficiently accomplish extraction tasks as a man-machine team, even when initial results are imperfect. The aim is to empower citizen scientists to easily participate in the extraction process intuitively. The period of performance for this award was from September 1, 2021 through February 28, 2022.
