  • Publication number: 20260112190
    Abstract: In accordance with the described techniques, a processing device receives a document that includes a table, and uses a machine learning model to detect cells in the table and probabilities assigned to the cells indicating whether respective cells correspond to a row header or a column header of the table. Further, the processing device aligns borders of the cells along horizontal axes of corresponding rows of the table and along vertical axes of corresponding columns of the table. In addition, the processing device generates a table structure based on the aligned cells and the probabilities such that the table structure includes the aligned cells arranged in the rows and columns.

  • Patent number: 11880648
    Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for extracting semantic labels for field widgets of form fields in unfilled forms. In some embodiments, a processing device accesses a representation of a fillable widget of a form field of an unfilled form. The processing device generates an encoded input representing text and layout of a sequence of tokens in a neighborhood of the fillable widget. The processing device uses a machine learning model to extract a semantic label representing a field type of the fillable widget in view of the encoded input. The processing device causes execution of an action using the semantic label.

  • Patent number: 11782576
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a data visualization system detects insights from a dataset and computes insight scores for respective insights. The data visualization system further computes insight type scores, from the insight scores, for insight types in the detected insights. The data visualization system determines a selected insight type for the dataset having a higher insight type score than unselected insight types and determines, for the selected insight type, a set of selected insights that have higher insight scores than unselected insights. The data visualization system determines insight visualizations for the set of selected insights and generates, for inclusion in a user interface of the data visualization system, selectable interface elements configured for invoking an editing tool for updating the determined insight visualizations from the dataset. The selectable interface elements are arranged in the user interface according to the insight scores of the set of selected insights.

  • Patent number: 11769006
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media for automatically parsing infographics into segments corresponding to structured groups or lists and displaying the identified segments or reflowing the segments into various computing tasks. For example, the disclosed systems may utilize a novel infographic grouping taxonomy and annotation system to group elements within infographics. The disclosed systems can train and apply a machine-learning-detection model to generate infographic segments according to the infographic grouping taxonomy. By generating infographic segments, the disclosed systems can facilitate computing tasks, such as converting infographics into digital presentation graphics (e.g., slide carousels), reflow the infographic into query-and-response models, perform search functions, or other computational tasks.

  • Patent number: 11537787
    Abstract: Certain embodiments involve a template-based redesign of documents based on the contents of documents. For instance, a computing system selects a template for modifying an input document. To do so, the computing system uses a generative adversarial network to generate an interpolated layout image from an input layout image, which represents the input document, and a template layout image, which represents the selected template. The computing system matches the input element to an interpolated element from the interpolated layout image. The computing system generates an output document by, for example, modifying a layout of the input document to match the interpolated layout image, such as by fitting the input element into a shape of the interpolated element.
