Benchmarking Deep Learning Approaches for AEC Engineering Drawing Layout Detection and Information Extraction

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2607. 18997v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Information Extraction (IE) from Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) drawings remains hindered by manual inefficiency, while Layout Detection, a vital 'middleware' organizing graphical and textual hierarchies, is underexplored.

Hybrid Feature Learning for Handwriting Verification

The paper introduces a Hybrid Deep Learning (HDL) architecture that combines Auto-Learned Features (ALF) and Human-Engineered Features (HEF) for handwriting verification. ALF is extracted using a Two Channel Convolutional Neural Network (TC-CNN) or a Two Channel Autoencoder (TC-AE), while HEF is obtained via Gradient Structural Concavity (GSC) or Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). Experiments on 150,000 pairs of the word "AND" from 1,500 writers show that the HDL model using AE-GSC achieves 99.7% accuracy on a seen writer dataset and 92.16% on a shuffled writer dataset, outperforming CEDAR-FOX, and AE-SIFT performs comparably on unseen writers.

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.
