Abstract
Numbered sequences detection includes (i) extracting one or more numbered item token patterns from a document comprising an ordered sequence of text units, each numbered item token pattern including an incremental portion and a fixed portion that matches at least one text unit of the document and (ii) identifying at least one numbered sequence in the document conforming with a matching numbered item token pattern of the extracted one or more numbered item token patterns. The identified at least one numbered sequence comprises an ordered sub-sequence of text units of the document that match the matching numbered item token pattern. The detection may further comprise determining that a second type of numbered sequence nests in the document between consecutive text units belonging to a numbered sequence of a first type, and optimizing one or more numbered sequences of the second type based on information provided by the determining.
