Abstract: There is provided a solution for semantic representation of text in a document. In this solution, textual information comprising a sequence of text elements (220) and layout information (230) of the text element are determined from a document. The layout information (230) indicates a spatial arrangement of the plurality of text elements (220) presented within the document. Based at least in part on the plurality of text elements (220) and the layout information (230), respective semantic feature representations (180) of the plurality of text elements (220) are generated. By jointly using both the textual information and the layout information (230), rich semantics of the text elements (220) in the document can be effectively captured in the feature representations.
