Text Segmentation of Digitized Clinical Texts
Cyril Grouin · 2016
In this paper, we present the experiments we made to recover the original page layout structure into two columns from layout damaged digitized files.We designed several CRF-based approaches, either to identify column separator or to classify each token from each line into left or right columns.We achieved our best results with a model trained on homogeneous corpora (only files composed of 2 columns) when classifying each token into left or right columns (overall F-measure of 0.968).Our experiments show it is possible to recover the original layout in columns of digitized documents with results of quality.
