Organizations can utilize the insights concealed in such unstructured documents for their operational benefit. However, analyzing and extracting insights from such numerous and complex unstructured documents is a tedious task. Hence, the research in this area is encouraging the development of novel frameworks and tools that can automate the key information extraction from unstructured documents. However, the availability of standard, best-quality, and annotated unstructured document datasets is a serious challenge for accomplishing the goal of extracting key information from unstructured documents. This work expedites the researcher\u2019s task by providing a high-quality, highly diverse, multi-layout, and annotated invoice documents dataset for extracting key information from unstructured documents. Researchers can use the proposed dataset for layout-independent unstructured invoice document processing and to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool to identify and extract named entities in the invoice documents. Our dataset includes 630 invoice document PDFs with four different layouts collected from diverse suppliers. As far as we know, our invoice dataset is the only openly available dataset comprising high-quality, highly diverse, multi-layout, and annotated invoice documents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data6070078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,20]],"date-time":"2021-07-20T05:10:59Z","timestamp":1626757859000},"page":"78","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Multi-Layout Invoice Document Dataset (MIDD): A Dataset for Named Entity Recognition"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6351-8737","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dipali","family":"Baviskar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Symbiosis Institute of Technology, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune 412115, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Swati","family":"Ahirrao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Symbiosis Institute of Technology, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune 412115, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2653-3780","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ketan","family":"Kotecha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Symbiosis Centre for Applied Artificial Intelligence, Symbiosis International (Deemed University), Pune 412115, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2020, December 05). 30 Eye-Opening Big Data Statistics for 2020: Patterns Are Everywhere.
