Auto-Table Extractor Model

The Auto-Table Extractor model from DeepLobe is designed to automate the extraction of tabular data from PDF documents. Table extraction is a critical task in document analysis, particularly in industries such as banking, law, and healthcare, where large amounts of data are stored in unstructured documents like PDFs or scanned photos. Extracting data from tables enables data analysis, insights generation, and integration with other systems to support business processes.

How the Auto-Table Extractor Model Works

DeepLobe's pre-trained table extractor model combines computer vision and natural language processing methods to analyze the structure and content of tables in a PDF document. Here's an overview of how the model functions:

Training: The model is initially trained on a substantial dataset of annotated texts containing tables. During the training phase, it learns to recognize and extract tabular information by analyzing the visual and linguistic properties of tables.

Table Structure Detection: The model uses algorithms to detect and identify table structures within a document. It examines the layout, lines, and other visual cues to locate and segment tables.

Content Extraction: Once the table structures are identified, the model employs optical character recognition (OCR) and other methods to extract the content from the table cells. This enables the retrieval of tabular data present in the document.

Testing the Auto-Table Extraction

To automatically extract tables using the model, follow these steps:

  1. Upload a PDF file containing the tables you want to extract.
  2. Click on the "Run model" button to initiate the extraction process.
  3. The model will analyze the document and generate a list of extracted tables and the corresponding tabular data as results. You can review and analyze the extracted tables for further processing or analysis.

API Integration

If you are satisfied with the results obtained from the Auto-Table Extractor model, you can integrate it into your existing systems or applications. Here's how to do it:

  1. Click on the "Sample code" button to view a few lines of code.
  2. Copy and paste the provided code into your application.
  3. Replace the placeholder "REPLACE_API_KEY" with the API key generated for your account.
  4. For information on generating an API key, refer to the "Create an API Key" section in the documentation.
