Glean: Structured Extractions from Templatic Documents
Summary: Glean extracts schema-structured data from highly variable, including unseen, document templates. Its key contribution is data-management abstractions for ground-truth quality, training-data generation, and iterative model development, improving F1 by 5+ points over the same model architecture.
