Systems and methods for document processing

A system for resolving conflicts in document layout, the system comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor executing the instructions to perform a process including:
• receiving layout information for two or more layouts of a document, each layout of the two or more layouts having a layout bounding box;
• identifying one or more areas of overlap between the layout bounding boxes of the two or more layouts, respectively;
• identifying content associated with each area of overlap, the content include stylometric features;
• determining, based at least on the layout information for the document, the one or more areas of overlap, and the content associated with each one or more area of overlap, a layout bounding box configuration for the two or more of the layouts of the document;
• and
• applying the layout bounding box configuration to the document.

A computer-implemented method for processing a document, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processor coupled to a memory, a document;
• determining, by the processor, section information for the document, the section information including one or more sections, each of the one or more sections including a section bounding box;
• determining, by the processor, layout information for the document, the layout information including one or more layouts, each of the one or more layouts including a layout bounding box;
• identifying, by the processor, one or more areas of overlap between one or more layout bounding boxes;
• identifying, by the processor, content associated with each of the one or more areas of overlap;
• determining, by the processor, based at least on the layout information for the document, the one or more areas of overlap, and the content associated with each of the one or more areas of overlap, a layout bounding box configuration for the one or more of the layouts of the document;
• applying the layout bounding box configuration to the document, thereby creating one or more adjusted layout bounding boxes;
• identifying, by the processor, one or more conflicts, each conflict including a bounding box associated with a first layout overlapping with both a first section bounding box and a second section bounding box, the bounding box associated with the first layout including a layout bounding box or an adjusted layout bounding box;
• determining, by the processor, an area of overlap between the first layout and the first section bounding box and an area of overlap between the first layout and the second section bounding box;
• assigning, by the processor, the first layout to a section based on the area of overlap between the first layout and the first section bounding box and the area of overlap between the first layout and the second section bounding box;
• and
• adjusting, by the processor, the bounding box associated with the first layout based on a section bounding box associated with the assigned section.
