Extract Tables by Docsumo VS Engauge Digitizer

This is neat. Over Docsumo [0] we have a combination of ML plus NLP+Computer Vision algorithms to detect the tables: [0] - https://docsumo.com/free-tools/extract-tables-from-pdf-images. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

Our older pipelines use image-processing-based approaches. However, they had too much assumptions in them (for instance, header texts, column types, etc). Now, we've moved onto to ML-based approach to train generic models that can be applied to variety of documents for table structure recognition.

I wonder how many implementations there were of that sort of thing. I wrote one for an HP flatbed plotter sometime in the 80s to digitize plots from papers, but I never heard of another. I don't remember the implementation, but it must have been cheaper hardware than the one shown, and only had a plastic lens as the sight.

Nice, I've used Engauge Digitizer in the past http://markummitchell.github.io/engauge-digitizer/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
