Information extraction (IE) for visually-rich documents (VRDs) has achieved SOTA performance recently thanks to the adaptation of Transformer-based language models, which shows the great potential of pre-training methods. In this paper, we…
We present CloudScan; an invoice analysis system that requires zero configuration or upfront annotation. In contrast to previous work, CloudScan does not rely on templates of invoice layout, instead it learns a single global model of…
Information extraction from semi-structured business documents remains a critical challenge for enterprise management. This study evaluates the capability of general-purpose Large Language Models to extract structured information from…
Abstract--- Table detection and extraction has been studied in the context of documents like reports, where tables are clearly outlined and stand out from the document structure visually. We study this topic in a rather more challenging…
Part of the appeal of Visual Question Answering (VQA) is its promise to answer new questions about previously unseen images. Most current methods demand training questions that illustrate every possible concept, and will therefore never…
Incorporating external knowledge to Visual Question Answering (VQA) has become a vital practical need. Existing methods mostly adopt pipeline approaches with different components for knowledge matching and extraction, feature learning,…
As the capabilities of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) advance, they can process increasingly large inputs, which, unlike in LLMs, generates significant visual token redundancy and leads to prohibitive inference costs. While many methods aim…
A key bottleneck in building automatic extraction models for visually rich documents like invoices is the cost of acquiring the several thousand high-quality labeled documents that are needed to train a model with acceptable accuracy. We…
Through a simple multiple choice language prompt a VQA model can operate as a zero-shot image classifier, producing a classification label. Compared to typical image encoders, VQA models offer an advantage: VQA-produced image embeddings can…
Zero-shot transfer learning for document understanding is a crucial yet under-investigated scenario to help reduce the high cost involved in annotating document entities. We present a novel query-based framework, QueryForm, that extracts…
The automated analysis of administrative documents is an important field in document recognition that is studied for decades. Invoices are key documents among these huge amounts of documents available in companies and public services.…
Key Information Extraction (KIE) underpins the understanding of visual documents (e.g., receipts and contracts) by extracting precise semantic content and accurately capturing spatial structure. Yet existing multimodal large language models…
E-commerce platforms should provide detailed product descriptions (attribute values) for effective product search and recommendation. However, attribute value information is typically not available for new products. To predict unseen…
This paper presents methods for extracting structured information from invoice documents and proposes a set of evaluation metrics (EM) to assess the accuracy of the extracted data against annotated ground truth. The approach involves…
Current diffusion-based video editing primarily focuses on local editing (\textit{e.g.,} object/background editing) or global style editing by utilizing various dense correspondences. However, these methods often fail to accurately edit the…
Automating information extraction from form-like documents at scale is a pressing need due to its potential impact on automating business workflows across many industries like financial services, insurance, and healthcare. The key challenge…
Effective ontology transfer has been a major goal of recent work on event argument extraction (EAE). Two methods in particular -- question answering (QA) and template infilling (TI) -- have emerged as promising approaches to this problem.…
Most previous event extraction studies have relied heavily on features derived from annotated event mentions, thus cannot be applied to new event types without annotation effort. In this work, we take a fresh look at event extraction and…
Many business documents processed in modern NLP and IR pipelines are visually rich: in addition to text, their semantics can also be captured by visual traits such as layout, format, and fonts. We study the problem of information extraction…
Researchers produce thousands of scholarly documents containing valuable technical knowledge. The community faces the laborious task of reading these documents to identify, extract, and synthesize information. To automate information…
