Abstract

We present on the performance evaluation of machine learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) based Section Header classification. The section headers classification task was performed as a two-pass system. The first pass detects a section header while the second pass classifies it. Recall, precision, and F1-measure metrics were reported to explore the best approach for ML based section header classification for use in downstream NLP tasks.
