  • Patent number: 11775733
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to systems and methods for device-dependent display of an article from a PDF file that has multiple articles and a table of contents to the articles. The system can use a library to render the article from the PDF file. The rendering can include bounding boxes positioned at on-page coordinates that can include one or more images and multiple text blocks of glyphs. The system can detect at least one table in the PDF file that includes pages numbers and multiple columns. The system includes logic to partition a contiguous sequence of text representing the table into text blocks of entries and columns. The system includes logic to merge multiple text blocks that align horizontally with a single page number into a single text block. Table of contents is displayed in a device-dependent format including the entries from the merged text blocks.

  • Patent number: 11741142
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide document summarization systems and methods that utilize fine-tuning of pre-trained abstractive summarization models to produce summaries that more faithfully track the content of the documents. Such abstractive summarization models may be pre-trained using a corpus consisting of pairs of articles and associated summaries. For each article-summary pair, a pseudo label or control code is generated and represents a faithfulness of the summary with respect to the article. The pre-trained model is then fine-tuned based on the article-summary pairs and the corresponding control codes. The resulting fine-tuned models then provide improved faithfulness in document summarization tasks.
