Earlier PDF, OCR, and structured-extraction work worth keeping as reusable document infrastructure.

In short: Document → Extract → Structure → Reuse

Why I built it

Complex documents require dependable extraction before useful search, explanation, or learning can occur.

What exists

A broad demonstration existed; original maintainable extraction components still need to be separated from experiments.

How it works

Document ingestion feeds text, table, image, and OCR extraction before downstream learning experiments.

  • PDF parsing
  • OCR integration
  • Structured extraction experiments

My role

Implemented and integrated multiple extraction and document-interaction paths.

What I checked

  • deploymentEarlier broad demonstration deployed

What stays bounded

  • Not a current broad PDF product
  • Only original maintainable components are release candidates

What is missing

  • Provenance, dependency, and maintainability audit remains open.

Next

Inventory original parsing and OCR components.

Later ideas, not current features

  • Extract one tested document-infrastructure component
