Document Classification
Identifying the document type is the first step to begin document processing. Users can specify the document type by populating the document_type field with one of the document types listed below when uploading or updating a document. Additionally, Sikoia will automatically classify the uploaded file/document and populate the sikoia_document_type field.
Sikoia leverages advanced ML/AI deep-learning models that combine layout and language features to accurately detect and identify documents.
Multiple Documents in a Single FileOur platform supports input files containing multiple documents of the same document type within a single file.
Each document is detected and processed individually, then mapped into a separate internal structure called a 'data source' to ensure accurate and organised data handling. Data sources are utilized for features such as Income & Employer Verification, Affordability Insights, and Completeness Checks. Learn more about data sources here
