Abstract
The present invention is directed towards providing automated workflows for the identification of a reading order from text segments extracted from a document. Ordering the text segments is based on trained natural language models. In some embodiments, the workflows are enabled to perform a method for identifying a sequence associated with a portable document. The methods includes iteratively generating a probabilistic language model, receiving the portable document, and selectively extracting features (such as but not limited to text segments) from the document. The method may generate pairs of features (or feature pair from the extracted features). The method may further generate a score for each of the pairs based on the probabilistic language model and determine an order to features based on the scores. The method may provide the extracted features in the determined order.
