Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for text extraction from a receipt image. An example non-transitory computer readable medium is disclosed comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least generate a baseline product hierarchy using product information, calculate categorical impact values for products in the baseline product hierarchy, calculate an average impact value for the baseline product hierarchy using the calculated categorical impact values, calculate a first weighting factor for respective ones of the products based on a comparison between the categorical impact values and the average impact value, calculate a second weighting factor associated with respective ones of the products in the baseline product hierarchy based on sales data, and generate final weighted categorical impact values based on (a) the first weighting factors, (b) the second weighting factors and (c) the categorical impact values corresponding to the respective ones of the products.
