hackrx 3.0 Hackathon!

Problem statement - Implement a provider invoice text extraction to identify provider (hospital/Dr./laboratory) names & other critical information tags (AI,ML, Computer Vision, Python-Flask for backend.

Provider Invoice Text Curation

Project uses python 3.8 and gitbash as terminal (windows 10)

Using virtualenv to isolate python packages. Short and nice tutorial to virtualenv - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5vscPTWKOk&ab_channel=CoreySchafer
If you have a different version of python installed, install python 3.8 from Microsoft store.

---

Commands to set up environment - (make sure you are in Environments folder in terminal)-

pip install virtualenv

python -m virtualenv -p <path to python 3.8 executable> hackrx_env

---

Use these commands to know your python executable installation location if needed -

import os

import sys

os.path.dirname(sys.executable)

---

In my case command is -

python -m virtualenv -p C:\\Users\\Lenovo\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_qbz5n2kfra8p0\\python3.8.exe hackrx_env

Then -

source hackrx_env/Scripts/activate #to activate the environment

Then -

pip install -r requirements.txt #to install required dependencies

Then -

python app.py

to run the app

---

run command

deactivate

to deactivate the environment if ever needed

---

MAKE SURE TO UPDATE PYTHON PACKAGES DEPENDENCIES FILE WHEN YOU ADD A NEW PACKAGE using

pip freeze --local > requirements.txt

---

When setup is done and starting the project at a later time, make sure to cd into Environments folder and activate environment using-

source hackrx_env/Scripts/activate
