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.

TabuLM is a new language model pre‑trained on Kinyarwanda tabular data, extending KinyaBERT‑large with row, column, and cell‑type embeddings and a table‑structure attention bias. It introduces two pre‑training objectives—Masked Cell Recovery and Column Type Prediction—and is trained on 172 Rwandan government tables. On the TabQA‑kin benchmark, TabuLM achieves 62.0% exact match, outperforming KinyaBERT‑large and multilingual baselines by significant margins.

HunyuanOCR-1.5 is a lightweight, end‑to‑end OCR‑specialized vision‑language model that unifies document parsing, text spotting, information extraction, text‑image translation, and multi‑image document understanding. It builds on the HunyuanOCR‑1.0 architecture, improving efficiency with DFlash‑based OCR decoding for faster inference (6.37× Transformer speedup, 2.14× under vLLM) and enhancing capability through an Agentic Data Flow system that autonomously constructs high‑quality training data for long‑tail OCR tasks. The model achieves top‑tier performance on OmniDocBench v1.6 and sets new milestones in ancient‑script OCR, chart/table parsing, multilingual parsing, and hallucination evaluation, while remaining lightweight for deployment.
