An Introduction to the ACTR Coding System
RR94-02
Introduction
This paper examines an automated coding system developed by Statistics Canada, ACTR (Automatic Coding by Text Recognition). The information presented in this paper is from the testing of ACTR at the Bureau of the Census as well as a summary of Statistics Canada documents. The purpose of examining ACTR is to evaluate its coding capabilities in order to determine if there exists coding applications at the Bureau of the Census for which ACTR is well suited. In this paper we provide an overview of the ACTR system, the capabilities and limitations of the current system, as well as the coding results obtained from ACTR versus other systems.
