Medical statements have different forms and contents depending on the medical institution, but Cinnamon AI&#039;s AI-OCR &quot;Flax Scanner&quot; has realized the technology to read these various medical statements. I&#039;m here. Recently, we have applied a question-and-answer approach to information extraction technology from forms and documents and devised a new network structure, improving accuracy and processing speed by 2 to 5 times compared to conventional methods. We are realizing this. These achievements have been highly evaluated at international conferences, and we received the Best Paper Award at ICDAR2021 (International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition) (*).<\/p>\n<p>*You can view the paper (in English) that won the IDCAR2021 Best Paper Award here.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/2106.00952.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/2106.00952.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[Sumitomo Life Insurance Company Company Profile]<br \/>\nCompany name: Sumitomo Life Insurance Company<br \/>\nURL: https:\/\/www.sumitomolife.co.jp\/<br \/>\nlocation:<br \/>\nHead Office 1-4-35 Shiromi, Chuo-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka Prefecture<br \/>\nTokyo Head Office 7-18-24 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo<br \/>\nEstablished: May 1907<br \/>\nRepresentative: Director, Representative Executive Officer and President Yukinori Takada<\/p>\n<p>[Cinnamon Co., Ltd.

In addition, we have established artificial intelligence laboratories in Vietnam (Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City) and Taiwan, and have succeeded in recruiting a large number of AI engineers. Recently, in addition to the AI OCR &quot;Flax Scanner,&quot; we have begun commercializing the specialized voice recognition technology &quot;Rossa Voice,&quot; and have begun selling it mainly to major companies. In addition, Cinnamon AI has many advanced AI algorithms based on three unique research areas: \u201cDigitize,\u201d \u201cStructure,\u201d and \u201cUnderstand.\u201d We are continuously developing business AI solutions that utilize unstructured data.<\/p>\n<p>\u25a0Overview of AI-OCR engine \u201cFlax Scanner\u201d<br \/>\nMost of the business documents used on a daily basis are unstructured and require human effort to incorporate into business systems, resulting in a lot of waste in white-collar work. Cinnamon uses an artificial intelligence document reading engine to fundamentally reform white-collar work. A variety of documents can be supported, including PDFs, Word files, and paper documents such as printed and handwritten documents. Currently, we provide engines to many major companies, including those in the financial and insurance industries.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We will begin offering the AI-OCR &quot;Flax Scanner&quot; to simplify the benefit claim process and improve the efficiency of benefit payment procedures at Sumitomo Life Insurance Company (hereinafter referred to as &quot;Sumitomo Life&quot;). &lt;Business Background&gt; Sumitomo Life [\u2026]<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","news-cat":[79,27],"news-tag":[],"class_list":["post-2454","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","news-cat-79","news-cat-press"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cinnamon.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cinnamon.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cinnamon.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cinnamon.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news-cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cinnamon.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-cat?post=2454"},{"taxonomy":"news-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cinnamon.ai\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-tag?post=2454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
