🔥 Classifiers of FinTOC 2022 Shared task winners (ISPRAS team) 🔥

Classifiers of texual lines of English, French and Spanish financial prospects in PDF format for the FinTOC 2022 Shared task.

🤗 Source code 🤗

Training scripts are available in the repository https://github.com/ispras/dedoc/ (see scripts/fintoc2022 directory).

🤗 Task description 🤗

Lines are classified in two stages:

Binary classification title/not title (title detection task).
Classification of title lines into title depth classes (TOC generation task).

There are two types of classifiers according to the stage:

For the first stage, binary classifiers are trained. They return bool values: True for title lines and False for non-title lines.
For the second stage, target classifiers are trained. They return int title depth classes from 1 to 6. More important lines have a lesser depth.

🤗 Results evaluation 🤗

The training dataset contains English, French, and Spanish documents, so three language categories are available ("en", "fr", "sp"). To obtain document lines, we use dedoc library (dedoc.readers.PdfTabbyReader, dedoc.readers.PdfTxtlayerReader), so two reader categories are available ("tabby", "txt_layer").

To obtain FinTOC structure, we use our method described in our article (winners of FinTOC 2022 Shared task!). The results of our method (3-fold cross-validation on the FinTOC 2022 training dataset) for different languages and readers are given in the table below (they slightly changed since the competition finished). As in the FinTOC 2022 Shared task, we use two metrics for results evaluation (metrics from the article): TD - F1 measure for the title detection task, TOC - harmonic mean of Inex F1 score and Inex level accuracy for the TOC generation task.
