Human in the Loop: Using Confidence Scores to Build Reliable Document Extraction

📰 Dev.to · Iteration Layer

Learn to use confidence scores for reliable document extraction by combining human judgment with AI, improving accuracy and efficiency

intermediate Published 29 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Build a document extraction model using a library like spaCy or Stanford CoreNLP
  2. Configure the model to output confidence scores for each extracted field
  3. Implement a human-in-the-loop review process to validate extracted data based on confidence scores
  4. Test and refine the model by incorporating human feedback and adjusting confidence thresholds
  5. Apply active learning techniques to selectively sample uncertain extracts for human review
Who Needs to Know This

Data scientists, machine learning engineers, and developers working on document extraction projects can benefit from this approach to improve the reliability of their models

Key Insight

💡 Confidence scores can be used to identify uncertain or erroneous extracts, allowing human reviewers to focus on the most critical cases and improve overall model reliability
