Abstract
Machine learning to predict a layout type that each of a plurality of portions of a document appears in. This is done even though the computer-readable representation of the document does not contain information at the granularity of the prediction to be made that identifies which layout type that each of the plurality of document portions belongs in. For each of a plurality of the portions, the machine-learning system predicts the layout type that the respective portion appears in, and indexes the document using the predictions so as to result in a computer-readable index. The index represents a predicted layout type associated with each of the plurality of portions of the document. Thus, the index can be used to search based on position of a searched term within the document.
