Abstract
Systems and methods for document processing that can process and understand the layout, text size, text style, and multimedia of a document can generate more accurate and informed document representations. The layout of a document paired with text size and style can indicate what portions of a document are possibly more important, and the understanding of that importance can help with understanding of the document. Systems and methods utilizing a hierarchical framework that processes the block-level and the document-level of a document can capitalize on these indicators to generate a better document representation.
