Abstract
Techniques are described herein for automatically generating data extraction templates for structured documents (e.g., B2C emails, invoices, bills, invitations, etc.), and for assigning classifications to those data extraction templates to streamline data extraction from subsequent structured documents. In various implementations, a data extraction template generated from a cluster of structured documents that share fixed content may be identified. Features of the cluster of structured documents may be applied as input to extraction machine learning model(s) trained to provide location(s) of transient field(s) in structured documents, to determine location(s) of transient field(s) in the cluster of structured documents. An association between the data extraction template and the determined transient field location(s) may be stored. Based on the association, data point(s) may be extracted from a given structured document of a user that shares fixed content with the cluster of structured documents. The extracted data point(s) may be surfaced to the user.
