Edit Documents
It is possible to edit a Document to correct mistakes.
You can configure Document Processing to include Machine Learning .
Machine learning will "learn" from edits made to documents, stored as dictionaries and entity extraction scripts, so they can be retained during reprocessing and applied to future documents.

When editing a document, you can:
Document Model
Sintelix document model has two layers of data:
- text references, and
- entities.
Text references are marked up spans of text, easily visible on document view. They're not copied to the Network by default.
Entities are groups of text references within a document. They correspond to all the mentions of the same object (distinct Person, Organisation, etc) and group all the information about that object.
Entities and their features are copied to the network by default.
Document editing is performed mostly by adding, removing, and, changing the type of text references.
However, because it is entity, and not text references that form a network, the end goal of document editing is to produce correct entity information.
Not all text references need to be grouped into an entity. The Document Processing Configuration output table contains a column Document Entity Resolution which decides for each type, whether that type forms and entity.
Document editing enforces that table by ensuring that all text references that need to form an entity do so.
