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.

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: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: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:2606. 06242v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Institutional documents contain substantial amounts of operational and analytical information embedded within figures and tables.
By AJ Carl P. Dy, Aivin V. Solatorio
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:2607. 04625v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) streamlines long-document understanding by leveraging retrieval mechanisms to restrict input images to a highly curated subset.

arXiv:2608. 07527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-document understanding requires models to find and combine evidence across many pages, layouts, tables, figures, and charts.

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.
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.
