# Disable GPU (CPU only)
python main_app.py --input superbill.pdf --no-gpu

Method 2: Streamlit UI Only

streamlit run ui/app.py

Method 3: Enhanced Processor Script

python enhanced_superbill_processor.py

💻 Usage Examples

Command Line Interface

# Basic processing with GPU optimization
python main_app.py --input medical_documents/

# Advanced processing with custom config
python main_app.py --input documents/ --config custom_config.yaml --batch

# Launch interactive UI
python main_app.py --ui

Programmatic Usage

import asyncio
from src.extraction_engine import ExtractionEngine
from src.core.config_manager import ConfigManager

# Initialize with sequential loading
config = ConfigManager()
config.update_config("models.sequential_loading", True)
config.update_config("processing.use_cuda", True)

engine = ExtractionEngine(config)

# Process document
async def extract_data():
    results = await engine.extract_from_file("superbill.pdf")
    return results

# Run extraction
results = asyncio.run(extract_data())

🎯 Enhanced Features

Patient Differentiation

The system uses multiple advanced techniques:

1. Keyword-based Detection: Identifies patient separators and demographics
2. Patient ID Patterns: Detects MRN, patient IDs, and account numbers
3. CPT/ICD Code Clustering: Groups medical codes by patient proximity
4. Form Structure Analysis: Recognizes document layout patterns
5. Cross-page Validation: Merges patients spanning multiple pages

Code Marking System

Enhanced CPT and ICD-10 code detection:

• Pattern Recognition: Multiple regex patterns for code identification
• Context Analysis: Validates codes based on surrounding text
• Confidence Scoring: AI-powered confidence assessment
• Description Matching: Links codes with their descriptions
• Charge Association: Connects CPT codes with billing amounts

GPU Optimization

CUDA acceleration features:

• Mixed Precision: Faster inference with reduced memory usage
• Sequential Loading: Prevents GPU memory overflow
• Torch Compilation: PyTorch 2.0+ optimization when available
• Memory Monitoring: Real-time VRAM usage tracking
• Flash Attention: Advanced attention mechanisms (when supported)
