Implements Partner v3's statistical rigor requirements at the level of signature vs. accountant analysis units: - Script 15 (Hartigan dip test): formal unimodality test via `diptest`. Result: Firm A cosine UNIMODAL (p=0.17, pure non-hand-signed population); full-sample cosine MULTIMODAL (p<0.001, mix of two regimes); accountant-level aggregates MULTIMODAL on both cos and dHash. - Script 16 (Burgstahler-Dichev / McCrary): discretised Z-score transition detection. Firm A and full-sample cosine transitions at 0.985; dHash at 2.0. - Script 17 (Beta mixture EM + logit-GMM): 2/3-component Beta via EM with MoM M-step, plus parallel Gaussian mixture on logit transform as White (1982) robustness check. Beta-3 BIC < Beta-2 BIC at signature level confirms 2-component is a forced fit -- supporting the pivot to accountant-level mixture. - Script 18 (Accountant-level GMM): rebuilds the 2026-04-16 analysis that was done inline and not saved. BIC-best K=3 with components matching prior memory almost exactly: C1 (cos=0.983, dh=2.41, 20%, Deloitte 139/141), C2 (0.954, 6.99, 51%, KPMG/PwC/EY), C3 (0.928, 11.17, 28%, small firms). 2-component natural thresholds: cos=0.9450, dh=8.10. - Script 19 (Pixel-identity validation): no human annotation needed. Uses pixel_identical_to_closest (310 sigs) as gold positive and Firm A as anchor positive. Confirms Firm A cosine>0.95 = 92.51% (matches prior 2026-04-08 finding of 92.5%), dual rule cos>0.95 AND dhash_indep<=8 captures 89.95% of Firm A. Python deps added: diptest, scikit-learn (installed into venv). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
PDF Signature Extraction System
Automated extraction of handwritten Chinese signatures from PDF documents using hybrid VLM + Computer Vision approach.
Quick Start
Step 1: Extract Pages from CSV
cd /Volumes/NV2/pdf_recognize
source venv/bin/activate
python extract_pages_from_csv.py
Step 2: Extract Signatures
python extract_signatures_hybrid.py
Documentation
- PROJECT_DOCUMENTATION.md - Complete project history, all approaches tested, detailed results
- README_page_extraction.md - Page extraction documentation
- README_hybrid_extraction.md - Hybrid signature extraction documentation
Current Performance
Test Dataset: 5 PDF pages
- Signatures expected: 10
- Signatures found: 7
- Precision: 100% (no false positives)
- Recall: 70%
Key Features
✅ Hybrid Approach: VLM name extraction + CV detection + VLM verification
✅ Name-Based: Signatures saved as signature_周寶蓮.png
✅ No False Positives: Name-specific verification filters out dates, text, stamps
✅ Duplicate Prevention: Only one signature per person
✅ Handles Both: PDFs with/without text layer
