MioFFAn: an Annotation Software for Formula Formalization with LLM Automation Capabilities

arXiv:2607. 22552v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The automatic translation of mathematical expressions in scientific literature into executable symbolic code (a process we refer to as Formula Formalization) is hindered by a severe scarcity of high-quality, ground-truth datasets specialized for technical scientific domains.

SciDocBench: A Workflow-Centered Benchmark and Data Pipeline for Scientific Document Understanding

SciDocBench is a workflow-centered benchmark for scientific document understanding that includes 124 expert-authored questions across seven capability groups and 19 subtasks in five scientific domains. Each question is evaluated under four conditions—English or Chinese, all-images-first or interleaved document representations—resulting in 496 evaluation instances. The benchmark is paired with SciDocIR, a typed evidence-graph representation, and SciDocDataset, a collection of 15K fine-tuning and 8K reinforcement-learning samples, forming an evaluation-to-training framework for scientific-document assistants.

CONSISTRE: A Unified Consistency-Aware Framework for Document-Level Relation Extraction with Large Language Models

CONSISTRE is a consistency‑aware framework for document‑level relation extraction that tackles contradictions in large language model predictions. It offers two tracks: an inference‑time track that refines black‑box LLM outputs through constraint‑aware prompting, verification, and self‑reflection, and a training‑time track that distills consistency knowledge into smaller open‑source models via supervised fine‑tuning and reinforcement learning. Experiments on DocRED show both tracks outperform baselines, with the inference‑time track matching competitive F1 scores and the training‑time track narrowing the performance gap to proprietary LLMs while reducing inference cost.

DocOCR-Eval: A Correction-Based Framework for OCR Tool Selection Without Ground Truth

arXiv:2607. 16203v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Document parsing is a foundational step for document understanding tasks such as visual question answering and key information extraction, as it transforms unstructured scanned images into structured representations by extracting textual, visual, and layout information.
