Table understanding is a core task in document intelligence, encompassing two key subtasks: table reconstruction and table visual question answering (TabVQA). While recent approaches predominantly rel...
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.
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 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.

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.
