I am working on an invoice processing project using Azure From Recognizer. All the invoices are in PDF format. I am using a custom form recognizer with labeling. I can extract some data from PDF like Invoice No, Invoice Date, Amount, etc., but I want to extract table data from the pdf using Azure Form Recognizer, but it is not reading the table correctly.
I have labeled the cells which I need and when the number of rows in the table increases it reads the column correctly, but it is unable to separate the values of each row from each other and returns the whole column as a single value.
I tried to provide more examples, but it is still failing to detect the correct table. Is there any way to extract table data properly from PDF using Azure Form Recognizer?
Scanning the table is an essential requirement for our application, and it will decide if we base our application using Azure Form Recognizer or not.
Please see the below PDF table image and want to extract all row data from all columns.
If you can point us in the right direction with some documentation on this, then it would be beneficial.
Thanks
Please try the following -
Train without labels and see if it detects and extracts the table you need. See quickstart here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/form-recognizer/quickstarts/python-train-extract?tabs=v2-0
If he table is not detected by train without labels and if you are using train with labels and the table is not detected automatically than we do not yet support labeling of tables natively. You could try labeling the table as key values pairs as a workaround to extract the values. When labeling tables as key value pairs label each cell as a value so for the above table you should have 5 values per column - Desc1, Desc2, Desc3...Desc5, Hours1, Hours2, Hours3, ...Hours5. In this case you will need to train with tables with the maximum number of rows.

Form Recognizer released Invoice specific model which works across different invoice layouts. Please take a look at documentation below:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/applied-ai-services/form-recognizer/concept-invoice
It allows to extract header fields as well as line items and its details.
You can try this model using Form Recognizer Studio (need Azure Subscription and Form Recognizer resource):

I am trying to extract a table like this into a Dataframe. How to do that (and extract even the names splitted on several lines) with Python?
Also, I want this to be general and to be applied on each table (even if it doesn't this structure), so giving the coordinates for each separate and different table won't work that well.
I don't know about your exact problem but if you want to extract data or tables from PDF then try the camelot-py library, it is easy and gives almost more than 90% accuracy.
I am also working on the same project.
import camelot
tables = camelot.read_pdf(PDF_file_Path, flavor='stream', pages='1', table_areas=['5,530,620,180'])
tables[0].parsing_report
df = tables[0].df
The parameters of camelot.read_pdf are:
PDF_File the give file path;
table_areas is optional if you get an exact table then provide a location otherwise it can get whole data & all tables;
pages number of pages.
.parsing_report show the result description, e.g., accuracy and whitespace.
.df can show the table as a data frame. Index 0 refer to the 1st table. It depends on your data.
You can read more about them in the camelot documentation.
Recently I tried using tabula to parse a table in the pdf that contains no lines within each fields of the table.
This results in a creation of a list that combines all the different fields into one (example of output).
How do i convert this single string into a dataframe so i can manipulate the numbers? Thank you very much
There is no dummy file given in the question to test, but if there is no separation line in between columns of the pdf table, and the table is merging in one column after extracting from tabula, try to use parameter 'columns' in tabula.read_pdf.
According to Tabula Documentation, this parameter works like this:
columns (list, optional) –
X coordinates of column boundaries.
So, if the format of the PDF is same for every PDF, you can find X coordinates of columns from which you want to separate the data. For that you can use any PDF tool like Adobe, or you can hit and trial also.
Still doubt, please attach dummy PDF so one can look into it.
I want to train a model that will tell us the PM2.5(this value describe AQI) of any image. For this I use CNN. I am using tensorflow for this purpose. I am new in this field.Please tell me how we upload our own dataset and separate its name and tags. The format of image name is "imageName_tag"(e.g ima01_23.4)
I think we need more information about your case regarding the "how upload our own dataset".
However, if your dataset is on your computer and you want to access it from python, i invite you to take a look at the libraries "glob" and "os".
To split the name (which in your case is "imageName_tag") you can use:
string = "imageName_tag"
name, tag = string.split('_')
As you'll have to do it for all your data, you'll have to use it in a loop and store the extracted informations in lists.
I am doing an NLP term project and am analyzing over 100,000 news articles from this corpus. https://github.com/philipperemy/financial-news-dataset
I am looking to perform sentiment analysis on this dataset using NLTK. However, I am a bit confused about how this pipeline should look for storing and accessing all of these articles.
The articles are text files that I read and perform some preprocessing on in order to extract some metadata and extract the main article text. Currently, I am storing the data from each article in a python object such as this:
{
'title' : title,
'author' : author,
'date' : date,
'text' : text,
}
I would like to store these objects in a database so I don't have to read all of these files every time I want to do analysis. My problem is, I'm not really sure which database to use. I want to be able to use regexes on certain fields such as date and title so I can isolate documents by date and company names. I was thinking of going the NoSql route and using a DB like MongoDb or CouchDB or maybe even a search engine such as ElasticSearch.
After I query for the documents I want to use for analysis, I will tokenize the text, POS tag it, and perform NER using NLTK. I have already implemented this part of the pipeline. Is it smart to do this after the database is already indexed in the database? Or should I look at storing the processed data in the database well?
Finally, I will use this processed data to classify each article, using a trained model I've already developed. I already have a gold standard, so I will compare the classification against the gold standard.
Does this pipeline generally look correct? I don't have much experience with using large datasets like this.
Just for some background. I am developing a hotel data analytics dashboard much like this one [here](https://my.infocaptor.com/free_data_visualization.php"D3 Builder") using d3.js and dc.js (with cross filter). It is a Django project and the database I am using is Postgresql. I am currently working on a universal bar graph series, it will eventually allow the user to choose the fields (from the data set provided) that they would like to see plotted against each other in a bar chart format.
My database consists of 10 million entries, with 54 fields each (single table). Retrieving the three fields used to plot the time based bar chart takes over a minute. Processing the data in Python(altering column key names to match those of the universal bar chart) and putting the data into a json format to be used by the graph takes a further few minutes which is unacceptable for my desired application.
Would it be possible to "parallelise" the querying of the data base and would this be faster than what I am doing currently (a normal query). I have looked around a bit and not found much. And is there a library or optimized function I might use to parse my data to the desired format quickly?
I have worked on similar kind of table size. Well, for what you are looking for you need to switch to something like a distributed postgres environment i.e. Greenplum which is MPP architecture and supports columnar storage. Which is ideal for table with large number of columns and table size.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/c_columnar_storage_disk_mem_mgmnt.html
If you do not intend to switch to Greenplum you can try table partitioning in your current postgres database. Your dashboard queries should be such that they query individual partitions, that way you end up querying smaller partitions(tables) and the query time will be much much faster.
