Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a mechanism that encodes a text document into a geometric graph, where the nodes of the graph represent bits of text from the document and the edges of the graph represent relationships among the bits of text as laid out on a page of the document. Each node of the graph is encoded into a vector representation that contains information of the node and the local sub-graph (including the node and all edges branching out from the node). In this way, the vector representations of the document contain information of the inner-relationship between words, sentences and paragraphs of the document, instead of just mapping the text in the document as a string of input tokens to a vector representation.
