Problem

Debeka's incoming documents included accident photographs and property plans that text classification handled poorly. Image-heavy documents in its vehicle-services and building-savings divisions had required extensive manual indexing.

Approach

Debeka and Insiders Technologies added deep-learning image classification to the existing smart FIX text classifier. The Cognitive Classifier selected text recognition, image recognition or a combination for each document. Existing workflows and the staff interface stayed in place.

Results

less than 10%documents in the building-savings division still requiring manual indexing after implementation, according to Insiders TechnologiesVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

Debeka added image classification within its existing document-routing process. The reported manual-indexing reduction concerned its building-savings division.
