             abstract = "When processing documents in real-world scenarios, it is common to 
                         deal with artifacts that may hamper document analysis, such as 
                         stamps, noise and strange backgrounds. Aiming to mitigate these 
                         problems, we propose the use of U-Net, a very successful 
                         biomedical image segmentation network, for handwritten and machine 
                         text segmentation. In order to do so, we trained a model for each 
                         type of text. One of the main advantages presented is that the 
                         models are trained on artificial data, avoiding the wearisome task 
                         of data labeling. For the machine text segmentation model, we test 
                         its impacts on both word and character recognition when combined 
                         with the Tesseract OCR model. For the handwritten segmentation 
                         model, we present qualitative results. Initial experiments 
                         indicate that both models are able to improve results in their 
                         respective applications.",
