Application ID: 13893175

Base Claim:
1. A system, comprising: at least one processor; and memory device including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to: obtain an image including text; process the image with a text recognition algorithm to produce text string data, the text string data including at least two options for at least one portion of the text string, each of the at least two options having a respective confidence value; process the text string data using a rule decision tree, the rule decision tree including a plurality of hierarchical nodes, at least a portion of the hierarchical nodes corresponding to a respective semantic boosting rule, wherein processing the text string using the decision tree includes, for at least one node of the nodes in the decision tree: determine that a pre-condition is satisfied for the semantic boosting rule, for a first node of the decision tree, with respect to the text string; apply the semantic boosting rule for the first node to the text string in response to determining that the pre-condition is satisfied, the applying of the semantic boosting rule causing in at least one confidence value for the text string to be adjusted and a refined version of the text string to be generated; and upon receiving the refined version of the text string, provide the refined version as recognized text for the image.

Claim 2:
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions when executed further cause the system to: determine that the text string is the refined version in response to at least one of an overall confidence value for the text string data being equal to, or greater than, a minimum confidence value or each applicable rule of the decision tree being applied to the text string data.
