Why choose this project topic?
The practical value of this topic lies in making lengthy student documents navigable through heading structure. It gives a student a demonstrable computing problem, with heading precision, hierarchy accuracy and navigation task time providing concrete evidence for a critical project discussion.
Can heading detection produce useful navigation when document styles are inconsistent?
Agree the available tools, workload size and evaluation criteria with your supervisor; adapt making lengthy student documents navigable through heading structure to a clearly bounded institutional or laboratory setting.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Specify the requirements and assumptions for making lengthy student documents navigable through heading structure.
- 02Use synthetic and permissioned documents, compare style-based parsing with typography rules and evaluate detected hierarchies against human annotations.
- 03Evaluate heading precision, hierarchy accuracy and navigation task time against a documented baseline and discuss failure cases.
A suggested research approach
Use synthetic and permissioned documents, compare style-based parsing with typography rules and evaluate detected hierarchies against human annotations. Record the chosen implementation, dataset construction and repeatable test conditions before comparing heading precision, hierarchy accuracy and navigation task time. Keep development and evaluation cases separate where possible, and retain failed cases in the analysis rather than reporting only successful demonstrations.
What you will need
- Permissioned document corpus
- Annotated outlines
- Document parsing library
Keep your project scope clear
The prototype does not infer scholarly quality from document structure or expose confidential coursework. A project write-up does not supply a working application.
