- `lxml` is a much faster library than `bs4` when the input data is
regular
- since the hOCR data is guaranteed to be regular (programmatically
generated) we don't need `bs4` here to parse the data
- `lxml` improves parsing speed by about 10x
Example runtime profiling locally using the same `hocr` data from 1 page
pdf, where `agent.hocr_to_dataframe_bs4` is the current method on main
and `agent.hocr_to_dataframe` is the PR's method.

This PR removes usage of `PageLayout.elements` from partition function,
except for when `analysis=True`. This PR updates the partition logic so
that `PageLayout.elements_array` is used everywhere to save memory and
cpu cost.
Since the analysis function is intended for investigation and not for
general document processing purposes, this part of the code is left for
a future refactor.
`PageLayout.elements` uses a list to store layout elements' data while
`elements_array` uses `numpy` array to store the data, which has much
lower memory requirements. Using `memory_profiler` to test the
differences is usually around 10x.
This PR allows passing down both `ocr_agent` and `table_ocr_agent` as
parameters to specify the `OCRAgent` class for the page and tables, if
any, respectively. Both are default to using `tesseract`, consistent
with the present default behavior.
We used to rely on env variables to specify the agents but os env can be
changed during runtime outside of the caller's control. This method of
passing down the variables ensures that specification is independent of
env changes.
## testing
Using `example-docs/img/layout-parser-paper-with-table.jpg` and run
partition with two different settings. Note that this test requires
`paddleocr` extra.
```python
from unstructured.partition.auto import partition
from unstructured.partition.utils.constants import OCR_AGENT_TESSERACT, OCR_AGENT_PADDLE
elements = partition(f, strategy="hi_res", skip_infer_table_types=[], ocr_agent=OCR_AGENT_TESSERACT, table_ocr_agent=OCR_AGENT_PADDLE)
elements_alt = partition(f, strategy="hi_res", skip_infer_table_types=[], ocr_agent=OCR_AGENT_PADDLE, table_ocr_agent=OCR_AGENT_TESSERACT)
```
we should see both finish and slight differences in the table element's
text attribute.
This is needed in order for the user to specify whether to extract the
base64 for images, which are now parsed by the html partitioner.
## Testing
Adds test that validates this by calling the auto-partitioner with
appropriate arguments partitioning an html file with base64 embedded
image.
Currently we [filter img
tags](2addb19473/unstructured/partition/html/partition.py (L226-L229))
before tags are converted to Elements by the html partitioner. More
importantly we also don’t currently have a defined “block” / mapping to
support these. This adds these mappings and logic to process.
It also respects `extract_image_block_types` and
`extract_image_block_to_payload` (as we do with pdfs) to determine
whether base64 is included in the metadata.
The partitioned Image Elements sets the text to the img tag’s alt text
if available.
The partitioned Image Elements include the [url in the
metadata](https://github.com/Unstructured-IO/unstructured/blob/main/unstructured/documents/elements.py#L209)
(rather than image_base64) if the img tag src is a url.
## Testing
unit tests have been added for explicit coverage.
existing integration tests and other unit test fixtures have been
updated to account for `Image` elements now present

The purpose of this PR is to enable registering new file types
dynamically.
The PR enables this through 2 primary functions:
1. `unstructured.file_utils.model.create_file_type` This registers the
new `FileType` enum which enables the rest of unstructured to understand
a new type of file
2. `unstructured.file_utils.model.register_partitioner` Decorator that
enables registering a partitioner function to run for a file type.

This PR allows element types with CamelCase names to be extractable
using `extract_image_block_types` variable.
Before: specify `extract_image_block_types=["NarrativeText"]` (or any
casing for `NarrativeText`) would raise a warning that it doesn't match
any available types and not image would be extracted for this element
type
Now: specify `extract_image_block_types=["NarrativeText"]` would extract
images for this element type
## testing
```python
from unstructured.partition.auto import partition
f = "example-docs/pdf/embedded-images-tables.pdf"
elements = partition(f, strategy="hi_res", extract_image_block_types=["narrativetext"])
```
Without this PR no figures would be extracted. With this PR a local
folder would be created to contain images of the narrative text elements
in path like `./figures/figure-1-1.jpg`

This pull request fixes the scenario when SpooledTemporaryFile is passed
to detect_file type. In such cases some weird number was assigned as
'name' (and it couldn't be overwritten as SpooledTemporaryFile can't
have fields assigned 😩 ) so I added in our object factory just another
scenario where we parse this type of file.
For BytesIo `name` attr is None as it should be and some other metadata
fields are leveraged for file type recognition
This pull request adds the ability to configure multiple pdfminer
parameters (with the simple possibility to extend for the additional
parameters). One of the parameters overwrites the default from LA Params
config class.
Example:
```python3
partition(
filename=example_doc_path("pdf/layout-parser-paper-fast.pdf"),
pdfminer_line_margin=1.123,
pdfminer_char_margin=None,
pdfminer_line_overlap=0.0123,
pdfminer_word_margin=3.21,
)
assert pdfminer_mock.call_args.kwargs == {
"line_margin": 1.123,
"line_overlap": 0.0123,
"word_margin": 3.21,
}

### Description
NDJSON files were being detected as JSON due to having the same
mime-type. This adds additional logic to skip mime-type based detection
if extension is `.ndjson`
#### Summary
A recent security review showed that it was possible to partition
arbitrary local files in cases where the filetype supports an "include"
functionality that brings in the content of files external to the
partitioned file. This affects `rst` and `org` files.
#### Fix
This PR fixes the above issue by passing the parameter `sandbox=True` in
all cases where `pypandoc.convert_file` is called.
Note I also added the parameter to a call to this method in the ODT
code. I haven't investigated whether there was a security issue with ODT
files, but it seems better to use pandoc in sandbox mode given the
security issues we know about.
#### Testing
To verify that the tests that are added with this PR find the relevant
issue:
- Remove the `sandbox=True` text from
`unstructured/file_utils/file_conversion.py` line 17.
- Run the tests
`test_unstructured.partition.test_rst.test_rst_wont_include_external_files`
and
`test_unstructured.partition.test_org.test_org_wont_include_external_files`.
Both should fail due to the partitioning containing the word "wombat",
which only appears in a file external to the partitioned file.
- Add the parameter back in, and the tests pass.
This PR:
- Fixes removing HTML tags that exist in <td> cells
- stripping function was in general problematic to implement in easy and
straightforward way (you can't modify `descendants` in-place). So I
decided instead of patching something in table cell I added stripping
everywhere in the same consistent way. This is why some tests needed
small edits with removing one white-space in each tag. I believe this
won't cause any problems for downstream tasks.
Tested HTML:
```html
<table class="Table">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
Some text
</td>
<td>
<input checked="" class="Checkbox" type="checkbox"/>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
```
Before & After
```html
'<table class="Table" id="..."> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2">Some text</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>'
'<table class="Table" id="..."><tbody><tr><td colspan="2">Some text</td><td><input checked="" type="checkbox"/></td></tr></tbody></table>''
```
- there is a bug in deciding if a page has tables before performing
table extraction. This logic checks if the id associated with Table type
element is True
- however, it should be checking if the id is `None` because sometimes
the id can be 0 (the first type of element in the page)
- the fix updates the logic
- adds a unit test for this specific case
This PR fixes a bug in `build_layout_elements_from_ocr_regions` where
texts are joint in incorrect orders.
The bug is due to incorrect masking of the `ocr_regions` after some are
already selected as one of the final groups. The fix uses simpler method
to mask the indices by simply use the same indices that adds the regions
to the final groups to mask them so they are not considered again.
## Testing
This PR adds a unit test specifically aimed for this bug. Without the
fix the test would fail.
Additionally any PDF files with repeated texts has a potential to
trigger this bug. e.g., create a simple pdf use the test text
```python
"LayoutParser: \n\nA Unified Toolkit for Deep Learning Based Document Image\n\nLayoutParser for Deep Learning"
```
and partition with `ocr_only` mode on main branch would hit this bug and
output text where position of the second "LayoutParser" is incorrect.
```python
[
'LayoutParser:',
'A Unified Toolkit for Deep Learning Based Document Image',
'for Deep Learning LayoutParser',
]
```
Fixes: #3815
Verified on my very large documents that it doesn't unnecessarily and
unsuccessfully "repair" them.
You may or may not wish to keep the version check in `patch_psparser`.
Since ~you're pinning the version of pdfminer.six and since it isn't
guaranteed that the bug in question will be fixed in the next
pdfminer.six release (but it is rather serious, so I should hope so),
then perhaps you just want to unconditionally patch it.~ it seems like
pinning of versions is only operative when running from Docker (good!)
so never mind! Keep that version check!
Also corrected an import so that if you do feel like using a newer
version of pdfminer.six, it won't break on you.

This PR refactors the data structure for `list[LayoutElement]` and
`list[TextRegion]` used in partition pdf/image files.
- new data structure replaces a list of objects with one object with
`numpy` array to store data
- this only affects partition internal steps and it doesn't change input
or output signature of `partition` function itself, i.e., `partition`
still returns `list[Element]`
- internally `list[LayoutElement]` -> `LayoutElements`;
`list[TextRegion]` -> `TextRegions`
- current refactor stops before clean up pdfminer elements inside
inferred layout elements -> the algorithm of clean up needs to be
refactored before the data structure refactor can move forward. So
current refactor converts the array data structure into list data
structure with `element_array.as_list()` call. This is the last step
before turning `list[LayoutElement]` into `list[Element]` as return
- a future PR will update this last step so that we build
`list[Element]` from `LayoutElements` data structure instead.
The goal of this PR is to replace the data structure as much as possible
without changing underlying logic. There are a few places where the
slicing or filtering logic was simple enough to be converted into vector
data structure operations. Those are refactored to be vector based. As a
result there is some small improvements observed in ingest test. This is
likely because the vector operations cleaned up some previous
inconsistency in data types and operations.

This PR fixes a bug when using `partition` to partition an email with
image attachments with hi_res and allow table structure inference -> the
partitioning of the image would encounter a value error: `got multiple
values for keyword argument 'infer_table_structure'`.
This is because pass `kwargs` into partition "other" types of files in
this
[block](50ea6fe7fc/unstructured/partition/auto.py (L270-L280))
`infer_table_structure` is packaged into `partitioning_kwargs`. Then for
email at least when there are attachments that can be partitioned with
`hi_res` we pass that dict of `kwargs` right back into `partition` entry
-> so when we get
[here](50ea6fe7fc/unstructured/partition/auto.py (L222-L235))
we are both specifying explicitly `infer_table_structure` and have it in
`kwargs` variable
The fix is to detect first if `kwargs` already contains
`infer_table_structure` and if yes use that and pop it from `kwargs`.

This change adds the ability to filter out characters predicted by
Tesseract with low confidence scores.
Some notes:
- I intentionally disabled it by default; I think some low score(like
0.9-0.95 for Tesseract) could be a safe choice though
- I wanted to use character bboxes and combine them into word bbox
later. However, a bug in Tesseract in some specific scenarios returns
incorrect character bboxes (unit tests caught it 🥳 ). More in comment in

This pull request adds NLTK data to the Docker image by pre-packaging
the data to ensure a more reliable and efficient deployment process, as
the required NLTK resources are readily available within the container.
**Current updated solution:**
- Dockerfile Update: Integrated NLTK data directly into the Docker
image, ensuring that the API can operate independently of external -
data sources. The data is stored at /home/notebook-user/nltk_data.
- Environment Variable Setup: Configured the NLTK_PATH environment
variable, enabling Python scripts to automatically locate and use the
embedded NLTK data. This eliminates the need for manual configuration in
deployment environments.
- Code Cleanup: Removed outdated code in tokenize.py and related scripts
that previously downloaded NLTK data from S3. This streamlines the
codebase and removes unnecessary dependencies.
- Script Updates: Updated tokenize.py and test_tokenize.py to utilize
the NLTK_PATH variable, ensuring consistent access to the embedded data
across all environments.
- Dependency Elimination: Fully eliminated reliance on the S3 bucket for
NLTK data, mitigating risks from network failures or access changes.
- Improved System Reliability: By embedding assets within the Docker
image, the API now has a self-contained setup that ensures consistent
behavior regardless of deployment location.
- Updated the Dockerfile to copy the local NLTK data to the appropriate
directory within the container.
- Adjusted the application setup to verify the presence of NLTK assets
during the container build process.

**Summary**
Fixes a bug where a CSV file with asserted content-type
`application/vnd.ms-excel` was incorrectly identified as an XLS file and
failed partitioning.
**Additional Context**
The `content_type` argument to partitioning is often authored by the
client system (e.g. Unstructured SDK) and is both unreliable and outside
the control of the user. In this case the `.csv -> XLS` mapping is
correct for certain purposes (Excel is often used to load and edit CSV
files) but not for partitioning, and the user has no readily available
way to override the mapping.
XLS files as well as seven other common binary file types can be
efficiently detected 100% of the time (at least 99.999%) using code we
already have in the file detector.
- Promote this direct-inspection strategy to be tried first.
- When DOC, DOCX, EPUB, ODT, PPT, PPTX, XLS, or XLSX is detected, use
that file-type.
- When one of those types is NOT detected, clear the asserted
`content_type` when it matches any of those types. This prevents the
problem seen in the bug where the asserted content type was used to
determine the file-type.
- The remaining content_type, guess MIME-type, and filename-extension
mapping strategies are tried, in that order, only when direct inspection
fails. This is largely the same as it was before.
- Fix#3781 while we were in the neighborhood.
- Fix#3596 as well, essentially an earlier report of #3781.
**Summary**
Prepare auto-partitioning for pluggable partitioners.
Move toward a uniform partitioner call signature in `auto/partition()`
such that a custom or override partitioner can be registered without
requiring code changes.
**Additional Context**
The central job of `auto/partition()` is to detect the file-type of the
given file and use that to dispatch partitioning to the corresponding
partitioner function e.g. `partition_pdf()` or `partition_docx()`.
In the existing code, each partitioner function is called with
parameters "hand-picked" from the available parameters passed to the
`partition()` function. This is unnecessary and couples those
partitioners tightly with the dispatch function. The desired state is
that all available arguments are passed as `kwargs` and the partitioner
function "self-selects" the arguments it will be sensitive to, applies
its own appropriate default values when the argument is omitted, and
simply ignore any arguments it doesn't use. Note that achieving this
requires no changes to partitioner functions because they already do
precisely this.
So the job is to pass all arguments (other than `filename` and `file`)
to the partitioner as `kwargs`. This will allow additional or alternate
partitioners to be registered at runtime and dispatched to, because as
long as they have the signature `partition_x(filename, file, kwargs) ->
list[Element]` then they can be dispatched to without customization.
I noticed the ipv4 regex is wrong (it only capture one or two-digit
octets, e.g. `n.nn.n.nn`). Here's a correction and a bumped test for it.
If you wish I can break out the ipv4 test to its own case, so we don't
interfere with the existing `EMAIL_META_DATA_INPUT` ipv6 extraction
test.
Side note: The comment at `unstructured/nlp/patterns.py#95` includes a
bad ipv4 address example (last octet is wrongfully left-padded with a
zero). I left it as it is because I'm not sure if the intention is to
include "non-conventional" ipv4 addresses, like octal or hexadecimal
octets.
**Summary**
Relax table-segregation rule applied during chunking such that a `Table`
and `Text`-subtype elements can be combined into a single chunk when the
chunking window allows.
**Additional Context**
Until now, `Table` elements have always been segregated during chunking,
i.e. a chunk that contained a table would never contain any other
element. In certain scenarios, especially when a large chunking window
of say 2000 characters is used, this behavior can reduce retrieval
effectiveness by isolating the table from surrounding context.

- per [ticket](https://unstructured-ai.atlassian.net/browse/ML-551),
there is a bug in the `unstructured` lib under metrics/evaluate.py that
incorrectly retrieves the file extension before the conversion to cct
file from paths like '*.pdf.txt' . (see below screenshot)
- the current status is in the top example
- we should have the correct version in the bottom example of the
screenshot.

- in addition, i also observe the doctype returned are not aligned, some
returning '.*' and some are returning without the dot.
- therefore, i just aligned them to be output into the same version
which is '.*".
This PR uses (number of actual table) weighted average instead of
average without weights for table metrics.
- pages where there are ground truth tables the weight is proportional
to the number of ground truth tables in that page
- pages where there are no ground truth tables but has predicted tables
(false positive) are assigned as 1 table worth of weight for the whole
page for calculating the mean value of `table_level_acc`
- pages with false positive tables do not contribute to table structural
or table content metrics
## test
This PR updates the existing test for evaluating table metrics:
- adds a second file with just 1 table vs. the existing file with 2
tables
- test the weighted average is written to the report
This simplest solution doesn't drop HTML from metadata when merging
Elements from HTML input. We still need to address how to handle nested
elements, and if we want to have `LayoutElements` in the metadata of
Composite Elements, a unit test showing the current behavior.
Note: metadata still contains `orig_elements` which has all the
metadata.
This PR aims to add support for link extraction in pdf `hi_res`
strategy. The `partition_pdf()` function now supports link extraction
when using the `hi_res` strategy, allowing users to extract hyperlinks
from PDF documents.
### Summary
- Added functionalities to support link extraction in hi_res flow
- Enhanced word extraction functionality used for link extraction in
both `fast` and `hi_res` flows, resulted in more correct `start_index`
and `text` in `links` metadata.
- Updated ingest fixture update workflow to not skip Astra DB source
test
### Testing
```
elements = partition_pdf(
filename="example-docs/pdf/embedded-link.pdf",
strategy="hi_res"
)
assert len(elements[0].metadata.links) == 3
```
