DocAttriBench: Benchmarking Answer Grounding in Document Visual Question Answering

DocAttriBench (DAB) is a large‑scale benchmark for fine‑grained, element‑level source attribution in Document Visual Question Answering (VQA). It introduces MAPPET, a Mask‑based Perplexity‑Derived Attribution method that uses document layout and language modeling to identify the most informative layout element for each answer. The benchmark contains 237k documents and 296k question‑answer pairs with element‑level grounding, and it evaluates multimodal LLMs on answer accuracy, attribution accuracy, and overall answer quality, revealing that even strong models often fail to localize supporting elements.

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.
