Abstract:
1. A system for managing documents, comprising: an interface to a user interface, providing an application programming interface; an interface to a document database storing a record representing a series documents, associated with semantic content of the series of documents derived by automated optical character recognition of an optical scan of the series of documents, and a status for each document portion of the series of documents selected from the group consisting of a classification of respective document portion, and an exception to document classification status for the respective document portion, and an unclassified status for the series of documents, the document database further comprising an index of semantic content of the documents in the database; an interface to a remote server, configured to communicate the semantic content of the series of documents as untagged and unseparated information to the remote server, and to receive from the remote server a response comprising a document structure of respective document portions within the series of documents, and a status selected from the group consisting of a document classification of the respective document portion, and an exception to classification status of the respective document portion, selectively based on a correspondence of the semantic content of the respective document portion to a plurality of classes based on statistical semantic classification features, the respective document portion being automatically classified as belonging to at least one class if the correspondence of semantic content of the respective document portion is high for the at least one class; and the respective document portion having an exception to document classification status if a correspondence of the semantic content of the respective document portion is not high for any class; and at least one automated processor, configured to: receive commands from the user interface for manually classifying a respective document portion; and control the document database through the interface to the document database, to update the record associated with the respective document portion based on the manual classification or the response received from the remote server selected from the group consisting of a document classification of the respective document portion and an exception to classification status of the respective document portion received from the remote server, through the interface to the database.
