US Patent Issued to U.S. Bank National Association on Aug. 18 for "Enhanced beam search decoding for transformer-based OCR with probability score optimization" (Minnesota Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 18 -- United States Patent no. 12,711,795, issued on Aug. 18, was assigned to U.S. Bank National Association (Minneapolis).

"Enhanced beam search decoding for transformer-based OCR with probability score optimization" was invented by Raj M. Bharadwaj (Plymouth, Minn.) and Vadim V. Petruk (Minneapolis).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for optical character recognition of imagery employ transformer-based models with enhanced beam search decoding. A system processes an input image through an encoder to generate visual features, then performs sequential decoding using a decoder that generates raw logit scores at each step. Candidate...
