The Variants data set contains information about vendor companies. This data set is used for detecting the issuing company and checking extracted issuer information against a database.
Information from external databases can be used to facilitate the detection of company details on commercial invoices. Additionally, field training becomes available if external databases are used. If no external databases are used, ABBYY FlexiCapture will use its built-in neural networks to detect company details.
