IBM Automation Document Processing system requirements when disabling deep learning object detection for fixed-format documents in version 22.0.1

Detailed System Requirements


Abstract

Deep learning object detection is an advanced capability that generalizes the annotations from your training documents and dynamically applies them when possible. If your documents have a fixed format and the fields are located in the same places, you don't typically need this capability. When deep learning object detection is disabled, IBM Automation Document Processing extracts the fields from the same positions where they were annotated in the page. This works well on those fixed-format documents such as tax forms. If your documents have a dynamic format or sections with variable length, such as invoices, using deep learning object detection may yield better accuracy.

If you disable deep learning object detection, the performance is improved for document processing and data extraction training.

Content

You can use the following configuration to disable the deep-learning-object-detection container when you deploy IBM Automation Document Processing, starting with version 22.0.1.
ca_configuration:
  ocrextraction:
    deep_learning_object_detection:
      enabled: false
