We just released our first implementation of a key-value pair data extractor in the OCR engine for intelligent document understanding and processing. Let’s have a closer look at it.

Key-value pair and intelligent document understanding

Key-value pair extraction is at the heart of document processing.
To understand how it works and what it brings, it’s necessary to explain the concepts behind the words. We will then see why it’s so important for companies and organizations of all industries.

Definitions

Key-Value Pair (KVP)

KVPs are two related data items, a key, and a value. The key defines the data and is fixed, and the value is variable and describes the key.

Example:
First name (key) : Elodie (value)

Depending on the type of document, the key-value pair fields are different. For instance, the ones on an invoice will be different than the ones on a survey or a government form.
