book-segmentation

Data, code and trained models to segment the document structure of printed books and label each segment according to ten categories:

• Title page (including half titles)
• Ad card (advertisements)
• Publisher information
• Dedication
• Preface
• Table of contents
• Text
• Appendix
• Index
• N/A

Data, categorization system, and models described in more detail here:

Lara McConnaughey, Jennifer Dai and David Bamman (2017), "The Labeled Segmentation of Printed Books" (EMNLP 2017)

This model makes use of data from Ted Underwood's DataMunging repo

Usage

To segment a book from the HathiTrust named book.zip using the default model: python code/segment_book.py book.zip models/labseg10/

This should output a list of page numbers and labels for all pages in book.zip.

Dependencies

Numpy (pip install numpy --user), scipy (pip install scipy --user) and Tensorflow 1.0
