What is the point of spamming [1] HN with this low-effort content marketing for Nanonets that barely scratches the surface of the topic but instead is full of obnoxious calls to action? [1]: https://i.imgur.com/eIhwtjo.png

While I agree this is very clearly an ad, I do very much appreciate the technical parts, very well written

I thought it was a pretty good post details wise. Wouldn't call it "barely scratching the surface"

It's a nice overview article for anyone interested in the topic of IE from financial documents. However, for industrial level solutions Tesseract does not cut it. Abbyy is the best OCR engine on the market currently. Receipt IE works just fine with rules supported by a small BiLSTM as fallback just because receipts do not contain a lot of text. With invoices this approach is suboptimal. On a general note no DL approach will give you fast and high enough results just because any advanced network would be too slow and too generic. If extraction takes more than 5 sec. it is hard to sell such system.

Wow Abbyy is 26 years old. Nice to see software that lasts that sort of time.

I think that once you go down the path of OCR'ing your own invoices, you better start a company around it.
