Table understanding using a rule engine

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose an approach to table understanding using a rule engine.

• It is restricted by tasks of table analysis and interpretation.

• Spatial, style, and text information of tables is used for table understanding.

• Experimental results show the applicability of approach to a wide range of tables.

• The approach is designed for unstructured tabular data integration.
