Extraction Performance

Performance changelog for the Extraction processor. This section covers throughput optimization, latency reduction, GPU batching, and quality improvements for high-volume document processing.


What’s Included

  • Throughput: Processing capacity and parallelization improvements
  • Latency: Response time optimization for synchronous and batch operations
  • Quality: Precision and recall improvements on extraction benchmarks
  • Infrastructure: Auto-scaling, queue management, and regional deployments

Recent Updates

2024-12-12 — Improved Table Extraction Accuracy

Enhanced table detection model with updated training data from financial documents. Precision improved from 0.87 to 0.92 on the internal benchmark set covering invoices, statements, and contracts.

  • Impact: Accuracy

2024-11-29 — GPU Batching Optimization

Reduced average extraction latency by 31% through optimized GPU batch scheduling in eu-west-1 and us-east-1 regions. Batch sizes dynamically adjust based on document complexity.

  • Impact: Latency

2024-11-18 — Auto-Scaling Pool Expansion

Deployed additional compute capacity for peak processing periods. Queue backlog threshold reduced from 500 to 200 documents before scale-up triggers.

  • Impact: Reliability

2024-11-05 — OCR Engine Upgrade

Migrated to OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine v4.2 with improved handling of low-contrast documents and handwritten annotations. Processing speed unchanged.

  • Impact: Accuracy

2024-10-24 — Regression Testing Framework

Introduced automated regression checks against 2,400 document samples before each deployment. Results available in Console under “Quality Reports”.

  • Impact: Reliability

2024-10-10 — Multi-Page Document Handling

Optimized memory allocation for documents exceeding 50 pages. Processing time reduced by 40% for large PDFs with embedded images.

  • Impact: Latency

2024-09-28 — Confidence Calibration Update

Recalibrated extraction confidence scores to better reflect field-level uncertainty. Scores now align within ±0.03 of observed accuracy.

  • Impact: Accuracy

2024-09-15 — Monitoring Dashboard Enhancements

Added per-document latency histograms and extraction success rate charts to Console analytics. Export to CSV available for SLA (Service Level Agreement) reporting.

  • Impact: UX

Compatibility Notes

  • Documents processed before October 2024 retain original confidence scores
  • OCR engine v4.2 requires no API changes; improvements apply automatically
  • Auto-scaling requires Enterprise tier or dedicated deployment

Roadmap (Next Quarter)

  • Streaming extraction for documents over 100 pages
  • GPU availability expansion to APAC regions
  • Custom benchmark upload for customer-specific quality tracking
