Ephesoft 'Classify Document' activity returns incorrect classification and confidence

When using the ‘Classify Document’ activity from the ‘UiPath.Ephesoft.Activities’ package, some documents (between 2-5%) are returning different results compared to all the other methods I am aware of. This includes

  1. The ‘test classification’ function on transact,
  2. The API (/rest/ocrClassifyExtract),
  3. The document review function.

Is it possible to explain how the document classification confidence score is calculated?

The documentation mentions it’s a Lucene score? This seems to suggest it’s linked to the Search Classification plugin but this is disabled in the batch class we are using and when manually tested, provides a significantly different result.

For Example: When the same document is run through the various pathways the results are:

  1. Expected: Unknown (confidence = 0%)
  2. Test Classification: Unknown (0%)
  3. API: Unknown (0%)
  4. Review: Unknown (0%)
  5. Test Classification (with search classification plugin enabled): Type A (24%)
  6. This activity: Type A (88%)

Cheers,
