• Title: Understanding Archives: Towards New Research Interfaces Relying on the Semantic Annotation of Documents
• Authors: Nicolas Gutehrlé, Iana Atanassova,
• Abstract summary: We show how the semantic annotation of the textual content of study corpora of archival documents allow to facilitate their exploitation and valorisation. First, we present a methodological framework for the construction of new interfaces based on textual semantics, then address the current technological obstacles and their potential solutions.

• Abstract: The digitisation campaigns carried out by libraries and archives in recent years have facilitated access to documents in their collections. However, exploring and exploiting these documents remain difficult tasks due to the sheer quantity of documents available for consultation. In this article, we show how the semantic annotation of the textual content of study corpora of archival documents allow to facilitate their exploitation and valorisation. First, we present a methodological framework for the construction of new interfaces based on textual semantics, then address the current technological obstacles and their potential solutions. We conclude by presenting a practical case of the application of this framework.

  Relation extraction (RE) is a well-known NLP application often treated as a sentence- or document-level task. We propose a novel approach, KXDocRE, that embed domain knowledge of entities with input text for cross-document RE.

  We propose a layout-aware document-level Information Extraction dataset, LIE, to facilitate the study of extracting both structural and semantic knowledge from visually rich documents. LIE contains 62k annotations of three extraction tasks from 4,061 pages in product and official documents. Empirical results show that layout is critical for VRD-based extraction, and system demonstration also verifies that the extracted knowledge can help locate the answers that users care about.

An important feature of UDoc is that it learns a generic representation by making use of three self-supervised losses.
