Invoice Processing Lab Exercise

Repository: https://github.com/jayyanar/evidence-auditor

An end-to-end AI system demonstrating modern document processing technologies for automated invoice classification and validation.

🎯 Lab Objectives

This lab demonstrates the integration of cutting-edge AI technologies:

• LangGraph: Workflow orchestration and state management

• LangChain: Document parsing and text processing

• OpenAI: Vision-based extraction and embeddings

• Pinecone: Vector storage and retrieval

📋 Business Rules & Validation

Invoice Validation Logic:

• ✅ Valid: All required fields present (vendor name, invoice number, date, amount)

• ❌ Invalid: Missing any required field

Validation Process:

1. Extract structured data from PDF using GPT-4 Vision

2. Validate against business rules

3. Classify as Valid/Invalid with detailed rationale

4. Store results with validation metadata

Podcast Title:

Consequence-Aware Reasoning: The Future of Household Robotics

By: Ayyanar Jeyakrishnan

• The Move from Reactive World Models to Deliberative Consequence Models: Current household AI is “short-sighted”, relying on reactive world models that only predict immediate state changes, such as where an object moves. The proposed Consequence-Embedded Reasoning Model (CERM) introduces a dedicated “Consequence Model” that explicitly forecasts long-term outcomes—including physical, social, and safety-related effects—over extended horizons. This architecture treats consequence evaluation as a first-class part of the planning process, allowing the robot to “imagine” and reject risky actions before they are executed.

• A Multi-Dimensional Evaluation Framework for Robot “Meaning”: While traditional models predict what happens next, consequence models capture what it means through four distinct lenses:

  • Physical: Predicting breakage, material stability, or spills.

  • Social: Respecting privacy, cultural norms, and human comfort.

  • Safety: Proactively avoiding injury, contamination, or fire risks.

• Task-Functional: Ensuring current actions do not block future necessary steps in a task chain. This holistic approach allows a robot to realize, for instance, that while stacking a plate on a glass “clears the table,” it violates physical stability norms.
