1. A method, comprising:

  • receiving a document including an item via a computer input device;

    comparing the item to a plurality of lexicons using a processor;

    determining, using the processor and based upon the comparison, that the item is part of a fragment matching at least one of the plurality of lexicons;

    storing, using the processor, the fragment in a section of the document determined based on the at least one of the plurality of lexicons;

    receiving at least one other item via the computer input device after the fragment is stored in the section;

    segmenting the document into multiple sections, wherein each of the multiple sections corresponds to a respective section type of multiple section types;

    segmenting items in a first section of the multiple sections of the document into multiple fragments, wherein the first section corresponds to a first section type;

    determining a section type of each of the multiple fragments in the first section;

    determining whether the multiple fragments include fragments that correspond to different section types and that are interspersed among each other in even proportions; and

    based on the multiple fragments in the first section including fragments that correspond to different section types and that are interspersed among each other in even proportions;

    determining that the fragments that correspond to different section types and that are interspersed among each other in even proportions do not belong in the first section;

    generating a new section corresponding to a section type that is different than the multiple section types; and

    re-locating the fragments that correspond to different section types and that are interspersed among each other in even proportions to the new section.
