• Title: Page Segmentation using Visual Adjacency Analysis
• Authors: Mohammad Bajammal, Ali Mesbah
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel page segmentation approach based on visual analysis of localized adjacency regions. It combines DOM attributes and visual analysis to build features of a given page and guide an unsupervised clustering. We evaluate our approach on 35 real-world web pages, and examine the effectiveness and efficiency of segmentation.

• Abstract: Page segmentation is a web page analysis process that divides a page into cohesive segments, such as sidebars, headers, and footers. Current page segmentation approaches use either the DOM, textual content, or rendering style information of the page. However, these approaches have a number of drawbacks, such as a large number of parameters and rigid assumptions about the page, which negatively impact their segmentation accuracy. We propose a novel page segmentation approach based on visual analysis of localized adjacency regions. It combines DOM attributes and visual analysis to build features of a given page and guide an unsupervised clustering. We evaluate our approach on 35 real-world web pages, and examine the effectiveness and efficiency of segmentation. The results show that, compared with state-of-the-art, our approach achieves an average of 156% increase in precision and 249% improvement in F-measure.

  In this paper, we focus on rethinking and improving the example selection strategy. We first demonstrate that ICL-based segmentation models are sensitive to different contexts. Furthermore, empirical evidence indicates that the diversity of contextual prompts plays a crucial role in guiding segmentation.

• Semantic Parsing of Interpage Relations [0.0]
  We formalize the task as semantic parsing of interpage relations and we propose an end-to-end approach for interpage dependency extraction. We also design a multi-task training approach to jointly optimize for page embeddings to be used in segmentation, classification, and parsing of the page dependencies. Our experimental results show that the proposed method increased LAS by 41 percentage points for semantic parsing, increased accuracy by 33 percentage points for page stream segmentation, and 45 percentage points for page classification over a naive baseline.

• Improving Semantic Segmentation via Decoupled Body and Edge Supervision [89.57847958016981]
  Existing semantic segmentation approaches either aim to improve the object's inner consistency by modeling the global context, or refine objects detail along their boundaries by multi-scale feature fusion. In this paper, a new paradigm for semantic segmentation is proposed. Our insight is that appealing performance of semantic segmentation requires textitexplicitly modeling the object textitbody and textitedge, which correspond to the high and low frequency of the image. We show that the proposed framework with various baselines or backbone networks leads to better object inner consistency and object boundaries.

  We evaluate 11 different published Deep Neural Networks backbone architectures and 9 different tiling and scaling configurations for separating text, tables or table column lines. We show the influence of the number of labels and the number of training pages on the segmentation quality, which we measure using the Matthews Correlation Coefficient. Our results show that (depending on the task) Inception-ResNet-v2 and EfficientNet backbones work best, vertical tiling is generally preferable to other tiling approaches.

  We propose a SceneEncoder module to impose a scene-aware guidance to enhance the effect of global information.

We also design a region similarity loss to propagate distinguishing features to their own neighboring points with the same label.
