چکیده

We present a domain-independent unsupervised topic segmentation approach based on hybrid document indexing. Lexical chains have been successfully employed to evaluate lexical cohesion of text segments and to predict topic boundaries. Our approach is based in the notion of semantic cohesion. It uses spectral embedding to estimate semantic association between content nouns over a span of multiple text segments. Our method significantly outperforms the baseline on the topic segmentation task and achieves performance comparable to state-of-the-art methods that incorporate domain specific information.

Persian Printed Document Analysis and Page Segmentation

This paper presents, a hybrid method, low-resolution and high-resolution, for Persian page segmentation. In the low-resolution page segmentation, a pyramidal image structure is constructed for multiscale analysis and segments document image to a set of regions. By high-resolution page segmentation, by connected components analysis, each region is segmented to homogeneous regions and identifyi...

Joint Segmentation and Clustering in Text Corpuses

In recent years, many private corporations and government organizations have digitized corpuses of legacy paper documents. Often, these organizations hope to take advantage of digital representations to transform costly manual tasks associated with paper archives into less-costly computer-assisted tasks. The most common approach toward automated information extraction is through inverted indexi...

Segmentation of Color Documents by Line Oriented Clustering using Spatial Information

In this contribution we introduce a new method for global segmentation of color documents with a structure based on text frames and pictures. It is based on an extensive analysis of the expected shape of clusters in RGB-color space. The method provides an improved segmentation, and gives a proper basis for indexing and layout analysis. Results are very promising. keywords: color documents, docu...

Hierarchical segmentation using latent semantic indexing in scale space

This paper describes a new algorithm which discovers the hierarchical organization of a document or media presentation. We use latent semantic indexing to describe the semantic content of the signal, and scale-space segmentation to describe its features at many different scales. We present results from a text document and a video transcript.
