Check out some useful terms

Our goal is to make using Alphamoon Workspace as easy as possible. We have gathered a bunch of useful terms which will make it easier to navigate our tool.

Before we dive in:

We are constantly improving our Documentation.

Platform-related Terms

Process

List of collections (files) representing a business process that leverages data from processed documents.

Queue

A list of collections uploaded to the selected process.

Collection

A file or list of files uploaded to the selected process.

Supervision Mode

Tool to display processed results, make corrections to the model’s errors, and export results.

Tech-related terms

Interested in how our technology works? Take a look at these terms:

Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)

Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) is a technology-driven approach that combines artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and natural language processing (NLP) to automate the extraction, understanding, and processing of information from various types of documents. It involves the use of advanced algorithms and techniques to analyze and extract data from unstructured documents, such as invoices, forms, contracts, receipts, and emails

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Optical Character Recognition is the functionality in which the document is scanned by the platform and “translated” from image to text. This means that the tool converts all of the contents into a machine-encrypted text

Data Extraction

For extraction to happen, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) needs to happen first. Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a natural language processing (NLP) technique used to identify and classify named entities within text. Named entities are specific words or phrases that refer to real-world entities such as persons, organizations, locations, dates, time expressions, quantities, monetary values, and more.

Once the image is converted, the platform pulls the relevant data. Relevant means user-defined or pre-defined in the platform. The data is then downloadable as a CSV, XLSX, or JSON, depending on your needs.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on the interaction between computers and human language. It involves the use of algorithms and techniques to enable computers to understand, interpret, and generate natural language in a way that is meaningful and useful.

Zero-Shot Model

The Zero-Shot Model removes data annotation from the equation therefore the model can process any document.

Upcoming Feature

Continual Learning

Continual learning refers to the ability of an AI system to continuously acquire and integrate new knowledge and skills over time while retaining and building upon previously learned information. Unlike traditional machine learning approaches that require training models from scratch with new data, continual learning aims to enable AI systems to learn incrementally and adapt to evolving environments without catastrophic forgetting.

Roles & Permissions

You can access Alphamoon Workspace either as an Admin or as a User.

Role	Permissions
Admin	Has access to the User Management, Your profile, and Documentation tabs. Can access, create, rename, and delete processes Can upload files and folders Is the process owner of each process
User	Has access to Your profile, and Documentation tabs Can access processes, but not create new ones Can upload files and folders

You can also manage User Access rights within a selected process:

Role	Permissions
Process Owner	Has a full control over a given process.
Editor	Can upload and access files in a process. Can edit the results.
Viewer	Can access files uploaded to a process. Can not upload new files. Can not edit the results.

Statuses

During processing, the collection will be in one of the following statuses:

Status	Description
Waiting for files	A new collection has been created but all the files have not been uploaded yet.
Queued	Your collection is prepared and its files are automatically queued for processing.
In progress	Your collection is being processed by Alphamoon Workspace.
Needs review	Your collection has been processed, but it did not meet the certainty threshold for detected fields and requires human supervision as a result. You will also see this status when the model has not found the fields marked as Mandatory.
Accepted	The files in your collection have been successfully processed and listed on the Queue page.
Failed	Your collection or file has been corrupted during the upload or processing stage. Try to delete the collection and re-upload it. When you hover over the name of the status, information will appear on what might have gone wrong.

Awesome!
