A system and method for decomposing a digital image is provided. A digital image is represented as a word-graph, which includes words and visualized features, and zone hypotheses that group one or more of the words. Causal dependencies of the zone hypotheses are expressed through a learned generative zone model to which costs and constraints are assigned. An optimal set of the zone hypotheses are inferred, which are non-overlapping, through a heuristic search of the costs and constraints.
