Abstract.

In this paper a system for processing documents that can be grouped into classes is illustrated. We have considered invoices as a case-study. The system is divided into three phases: document analysis, classification, and understanding. We illustrate the analysis and understanding phases. The system is based on knowledge constructed by means of a learning procedure. The experimental results demonstrate the reliability of our document analysis and understanding procedures. They also present evidence that it is possible to use a small learning set of invoices to obtain reliable knowledge for the understanding phase.
