Then, the document segmentation is obtained as the most likely hypothesis according to a stochastic grammar. We used a dataset of historical marriage license books to validate this approach. We also tested several inference algorithms for Probabilistic Graphical Modelsand the results showed that the proposed grammatical model outperformedthe other methods. Furthermore, grammars also provide the document structurealong with its segmentation.
