Daniel at the FinSBD-2 Task: Extracting List and Sentence Boundaries from PDF Documents, a model-driven approach to PDF document analysis
Résumé
In this paper, we present the method we have designed and implemented for identifying lists and sentences in PDF documents while participating to FinSBD-2 Financial Document Analysis SharedTask. We propose a model-driven approach for the French and English datasets. It relies on a top-down process from the PDF itself in order to keep control of the workflow. Our objective is to use PDF structure extraction to improve text segment boundaries detection in an end-to-end fashion.
