ConRTF: Edge-Constrained Boundary Distribution Refinement for Realtime TransFormer Table Structure Recognition

arXiv:2607. 00734v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Table Structure Recognition (TSR) aims to recover the row and column layout of tables from document images, a key step in document understanding pipelines.

Enhancing Table Structure Recognition via Bounding Box Guidance

The paper introduces BGTR, a Bounding Box-Guided Table Recognizer that first predicts cell bounding boxes and then uses this information to generate HTML sequences for table structure recognition. It addresses the limitation of current image-to-sequence methods that ignore explicit bounding box data, which can cause errors in complex scenes. To overcome limited natural scene table data, the authors employ progressive training and create the synthetic SNSTab dataset, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on five benchmark datasets.

Active Learning for Cascaded Object Detection: Balancing Coverage and Uncertainty in Table Extraction Pipelines

arXiv:2607. 00747v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Table extraction from business documents relies on a cascaded pipeline where Table Detection (TD) first localizes tables and Table Structure Recognition (TSR) then recovers their internal layout.

TeleOCR: Navigating Document Parsing Across Digital and Camera-Captured Documents

TeleOCR is a unified framework for document parsing that tackles challenges in both decoupled and end-to-end Vision‑Language Models. It introduces deformation‑aware learning to handle geometric distortions, an adaptive sampling mechanism for complex layouts, and a content‑structure decoupled strategy to model formula grammars and table structures. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on multiple benchmarks, including top placement in the ICDAR 2026 Sci‑ImageMiner Challenge.

TRL-Bench: Standardizing Cross-Paradigm Representation-Level Evaluation of Tabular Encoders

arXiv:2606. 09323v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular encoders are usually evaluated inside task-specific end-to-end pipelines, so models from different training paradigms are difficult to compare directly even when they operate on similar tabular signals.
