Deep Learning based Key Information Extraction from Business Documents: Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Extracting key information from documents represents a large portion of business workloads and therefore offers a high potential for efficiency improvements and process automation. With recent advances in deep learning, a plethora of deep learning-based approaches for Key Information Extraction have been proposed under the umbrella term Document Understanding that enable the processing of complex business documents. The goal of this systematic literature review is an in-depth analysis of existing approaches in this domain and the identification of opportunities for further research. To this end, 96 approaches published between 2017 and 2023 are analyzed in this study.
