arXiv:2607. 22679v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In visually-rich documents, information is encoded not only in individual page objects such as tables, headers, and text blocks, but also in the structural relations among them, making document structure analysis fundamental to information retrieval and document understanding.
arXiv:2608. 15064v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Parsing visual documents into machine-readable representations is fundamental to document intelligence.
arXiv:2607. 08539v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Leveraging large language models (LLMs) to analyze complex documents -- such as academic papers, technical manuals, and financial reports -- has emerged as a mainstream and critical task in both research and industry.
arXiv:2607. 15082v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding newspaper images remains a challenging task due to their complex, nested hierarchical structures and dense, heterogeneous layouts.
arXiv:2608. 07067v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-document understanding requires locating sparse and heterogeneous evidence across hundreds of pages, yet existing systems remain limited by static retrieval and fragile cross-round memory.
arXiv:2607. 10400v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision language models (VLMs) have achieved strong performance on visual document understanding benchmarks such as DocVQA, ChartQA, and MMLongBench-Doc.
arXiv:2606. 06242v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Institutional documents contain substantial amounts of operational and analytical information embedded within figures and tables.
arXiv:2608. 16628v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (M-RAG) systems are fundamentally limited by the binary connectivity paradigm of traditional simple graphs, which fails to capture the intricate, high-order correlations among heterogeneous entities, such as the N-ary relationships between a visual chart, its scattered textual descriptions, and underlying numerical data.
Institutional documents contain substantial amounts of operational and analytical information embedded within figures and tables. Current approaches for extracting visual content from documents are largely built around generic document layout analysis, where figures and tables are treated as uniformly relevant document objects rather than semantically meaningful analytical artifacts.
Efficient teamwork typically combines global coordination with parallel execution, a principle not yet fully reflected in unified Vision-Language Model (VLM)-based document parsers. Existing unified parsers process an entire page jointly but generate its output through a single token-by-token autoregressive trajectory, creating a sequential bottleneck that grows with document length.
arXiv:2608. 14841v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-document visual question answering (VQA) over documents of tens to hundreds of pages mixing text, tables, charts, and figures typically follows retrieve-then-read pipelines.
Transforming table-form documents into machine-processable records requires recovering not only their visible content but also the multilevel structure that organizes it. However, existing benchmarks evaluate either holistic document outputs or conventional table grids, and their aggregate scores provide little insight into where structural failures occur.
arXiv:2606. 04231v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (MM-RAG) have shifted toward minimal parsing, relying on page-level images for producing retriever embeddings and for answer generation.
