Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for automatically extracting keys and corresponding values in any type of source document. Extracting desired words from the tokens in any type of document is based on a uniform approach to represent the source document. This uniform representation encodes features of the desired tokens along with the neighborhood information so that values associated with a given key can be extracted. The disclosed technique learns the representation of tokens independent of source document type and the learned representation is then used to determine relationships between multiple tokens. The neighborhood information and position information are used to determine various relationships between keys and values.
