I am an ML engineer in one of the PDF extraction companies processing thousands of invoices and receipts per day in realtime. Before we started adding ML all our processing logic was build on top of hundreds of regexes and gazetteers. Even until now handcrafted rules are the backbone of our extraction system whereas ML is used as fallback.
Yes, regexes accumulate tech debt and become a maintenance blackhole but if they work, they are faster and more accurate than any fancy DL tech out there. |
