Adaptive Classification Technology (ACT) analyzes electronic documents and assigns them to document classes. The software determines whether a document received, for instance, by an insurance company comprises a claim, a contract alteration, an application form or a response to a mailing. This document classification is the first stage of document analysis and is usually augmented by extraction of index and reference data. ACT is a module of Open Text Capture Document Reader (DOKuStar) that performs one step out of the whole sequence of steps by which documents are captured.

ACT classifies documents according to content criteria and not according to layout. A document is assigned to a specific class if certain words, phrases or character sequences are found in it. It is, however, not necessary to specify these features – ACT identifies these features itself on the basis of a training sample.

The automatic learning process makes working with ACT dead easy. No IT expertise is required to train in new document classes and optimize recognition accuracy for already defined document classes. Userfriendly administration is important because document classification is not a static task. An organization’s incoming documents change over time, and class definitions must also adjust to match changing organizational workflows.

The advantages of ACT at a glance:

Automated, content-based document classification
Self-learning process, easy to administrate
High-performance administration tool for optimization of recognition accuracy
Storage of all data and learning examples in a database
Combinable with other classification methods within the Document Reader
