The demand for accessible and reusable PDFs, optimized for screen readers and data extraction, is on the rise. Joseph explains a multi-year effort to automatically create accessible documents with LaTeX #Accessibility #LaTeX #PDFInnovation #InclusiveTech dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

The digitization of historical documents faces significant challenges due to OCR inaccuracies. James Zhang explores OpenAI's GPT models to improve post-OCR correction for texts from the Princeton Prosody Archive (1559-1928). #AI #OCR #Digitization 📕dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

Hrishikesh Kulkarni presents LexBoost, a document retrieval method that combines sparse and dense retrieval methods by leveraging a pre-build dense corpus graph. The result? Improved ranking performance with minimal computational overhead! Full paper: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

In an age where every problem is solved through machine-learning, Jean-Luc presents ZigZag, a machine-learning free algorithm that binarizes images which suffer from difficult lighting environments. Read more: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36… Try the app: lnkd.in/gbXY_7jq

Sinan presents a new dataset bridging the gap between text descriptions and other document modalities used in the context of engineering design catalogs. 📝 Ready to dive deeper? Check out the paper here: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36… #document #engineering #design #dataset #NLP

And that's a wrap for #DocEng'24! Many thanks to our excellent hosts Matt Hardy, Curtis Wigington and Monica Delgado at #Adobe, and the program chairs Steve Simske and Steve Bagley. Thanks to all the participants for the vibrant conversations! See you in 2025!

Another great conference day today with talks related to Security and PDF Applications: efficient malware detection, and producing accessible & reusable PDFs; and Algorithms: lexical document retrieval and justification of paragraphs.

Yesterday's session concluded with two excellent sessions covering all things AI: automatic annotation, OCR correction and detection of AI-generated texts; and summarisations: assessing summarisation methods, and assessing the metrics used for summarisation!

Frank Mittelbach presented the second keynote talk today. An exciting overview of the history of LaTeX with new insights on new tricks to be taught to old docs :) #LaTeX #DocEng2024

Concluded the second presentation session for the day, on Data Representation and Markup, featuring mathematical markup encoding, graph exploration and visualization queries, and a catalog dataset with semi-automatic annotation. Now exploring topics for #Birdsofafeather session!

This was followed by a session on Scanning, Document Input, and Binarisation—featuring a hand-held video document scanner, innovative binarisation algorithms, and a deep dive into optimal OCR scanner resolution. #DocEng2024 #AI #OCR

DocEng 2024 kicked off today with a fantastic keynote by LN Renganarayana on generative AI and its impact on document interaction. Exciting insights into current trends and future tools!
