Paper sets risk gates for financial document recognition
Original title: Human-Centred, Risk-Constrained Evaluation of Financial Document Recognition: Evidence, Critical Errors, and Selective Automation
The contribution is methodological and claims no new model, dataset, or empirical performance result.
The paper argues character and word error rates do not show whether financial document recognition preserves facts people act on. It defines typed financial facts tied to visible source regions and separates transcription, normalization, and business interpretation. Non-compensatory gates use one-sided uncertainty bounds so aggregate scores cannot hide errors in amounts, identifiers, signs, periods, or entity associations. Selective automation is framed as constrained routing that accounts for residual risk, review capacity, and cost. No new model, dataset, or empirical result is claimed.
- Gates target critical-field errors rather than aggregate scores.
- Formal results include a non-zero upper risk bound after zero observed errors.
- Routing uncertain cases to human review is a loss-sensitive decision rule.
- The paper specifies leakage-resistant partitions and a reproducibility card.

Financial document recognition is often assessed using character and word error rates, although these metrics do not express whether a system preserves the financial facts on which people and organisations act. This paper develops a human-centred, risk-constrained framework for evaluating financial document recognition as evidence recovery and decision support.
