Unlimited OCR Works 2

Unlimited OCR 2 is a document parsing model that processes only the text it transcribes, avoiding re‑scanning earlier pages. It replaces all decoder attention with Sparse Reference Sliding Window Attention (SR‑SWA), keeping computational costs constant regardless of document length. The model achieves significant per‑step speedups over Full Attention and R‑SWA, and sets new state‑of‑the‑art results on the MPDocBench and MarathonDocBench benchmarks for hundred‑page documents.

Doc-CoB: Enhancing Document Understanding with Visual Chain-of-Boxes Reasoning

Doc‑CoB introduces a Chain‑of‑Boxes framework that enhances document understanding by progressively focusing on query‑relevant layout regions while preserving global context. It selects key layout boxes and then applies visual prompting for deeper analysis, supported by two new reasoning tasks and an automatic pipeline that generates 249k training samples with intermediate visual supervision. Experiments across seven benchmarks and four popular models demonstrate significant performance gains, underscoring the method’s effectiveness and broad applicability.

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.
