Zusammenfassung
Enterprises today are challenged by managing requests arriving through all communication channels. To
support service employees in better and faster understanding incoming documents, we developed the approach
of process-driven document analysis (DA). We introduced the structure Attentive Task (AT) to formalize
information expectations toward an incoming document. To map the documents to the corresponding AT, we
previously developed a novel search approach that uses DA results as evidences for prioritizing all AT. With
this approach, we consider numerous task instances including their context instead of a few process classes.
The application of AT search in enterprises raises two challenges: (1) Complex domains require a structured
selection of well performing evidence types, (2) a failure detection method is needed for handling a substantial
part of incoming documents that cannot be related to any AT. Here, we apply methods from machine learning
to meet these requirements. We learn and apply information gain trees for structuring and optimizing evidence
selection. We propose five strategies for detecting documents without ATs. We evaluate the suggested methods
with two processes of a financial institution.
