When the Advanced DA Switch is enabled in the DOCUMENT_ASSEMBLER plugin, the plugin will run using the ADVANCED_DOCUMENT_ASSEMBLER algorithm. So what are the differences between the two algorithms?
Separation Method
The main difference between the two algorithms is their separation method:
- Document Assembler Algorithm: Looks at the highest confidence value for each page. When it finds a “first page”, it starts a new document.
- Advanced Document Assembler Algorithm: Forward and reverse page-level look-aheads and look-behinds to all alternate values are applied to a proprietary algorithm. Decision making is based on every permutation of pages and alternate value information in the xml.
Note: Both algorithms use the same weighting factors and classification method to generate document classification confidence scores. This is as follows:
- DA Rule first-middle-last page: 100
- DA Rule first-page: 50
- DA Rule middle-page: 25
- DA Rule last-page: 50
- DA Rule first-last page: 75
- DA Rule first-middle page: 50
- DA Rule middle-last page: 50
