Methods and systems are presented for extracting categorizable information from an image using a graph that models data within the image. Upon receiving an image, a data extraction system identifies characters in the image. The data extraction system then generates bounding boxes that enclose adjacent characters that are related to each other in the image. The data extraction system also creates connections between the bounding boxes based on locations of the bounding boxes. A graph is generated based on the bounding boxes and the connections such that the graph can accurately represent the data in the image. The graph is provided to a graph neural network that is configured to analyze the graph and produce an output. The data extraction system may categorize the data in the image based on the output.

A machine learning based key-value extraction model extracts fields/entities from documents. The input images are processed through OCR. A list of words (uni-grams) and their coordinates are extracted from the original images. Following word cleaning and manipulation, n-gram creation (multi-words), and feature engineering, the transformed data is fed into a classification algorithm to predict if a uni-gram or n-gram is one of the target entities or a non-entity. Following the first step that includes unique feature engineering, a second step improves extraction accuracy among the fields/entities.
