Parsing hierarchical lists and outlines

TLDR
This paper used the Collins model for parsing non-textual information into hierarchical content, and assigned labels to lines that indicate how the lines relate to one another in a hierarchical content representation.
Abstract
A system and method for determining hierarchical information is described. Aspects include using the Collins model for parsing non-textual information into hierarchical content. The system and process assign labels to lines that indicate how the lines relate to one another.

A machine learning system for extracting structured records from web pages and other text sources

TL;DR: In this article, a method for extracting a structured record (190) from a document (100) is described where the structured record includes information related to a predetermined subject matter (120), with this information being organized into categories within structured record.

Parsing of text using linguistic and non-linguistic list properties

TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for extracting information from text which can be performed without prior knowledge as to whether the text includes a list is described, where parser rules are applied to a sentence spanning lines of text to identify a set of candidate list items in the sentence.

Generation of documents from images

TL;DR: In this paper, a system for generating soft copy (digital) versions of hard copy documents using images of the hard-copy documents is presented. But the system is limited to the generation of soft copy documents.

Modifying captured stroke information into an actionable form

TL;DR: In this paper, a computer-implemented technique is described that receives captured stroke information when a user enters a handwritten note using an input capture device, and analyzes the captured strokes to produce output analysis information.

A tutorial on hidden Markov models and selected applications in speech recognition

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the basic theory of hidden Markov models (HMMs) as originated by L.E. Baum and T. Petrie (1966) and give practical details on methods of implementation of the theory along with a description of selected applications of HMMs to distinct problems in speech recognition.

A guided tour to approximate string matching

TL;DR: This work surveys the current techniques to cope with the problem of string matching that allows errors, and focuses on online searching and mostly on edit distance, explaining the problem and its relevance, its statistical behavior, its history and current developments, and the central ideas of the algorithms.

Maximum Entropy Markov Models for Information Extraction and Segmentation

TL;DR: A new Markovian sequence model is presented that allows observations to be represented as arbitrary overlapping features (such as word, capitalization, formatting, part-of-speech), and defines the conditional probability of state sequences given observation sequences.
