LinePilot Digitizer: Line-Plot Recovery with Manual and Automatic Calibration

Read the original on arXiv AI →

LinePilot Digitizer is a tool for extracting numerical data from line plots, offering three calibration modes—standard, enhanced, and OCR—that combine continuous color-based curve recovery with flexible calibration. The authors introduce DigitizerBench, a benchmark that systematically evaluates digitizer performance across signal, rendering, and plot-structure factors, using a failure-penalized capped normalized root-mean-square error metric. Results show that LinePilot (OCR) and LinePilot (enhanced) achieve the lowest error rates and highest trusted usability on their respective benchmark subsets, demonstrating the effectiveness of the calibration modes and the benchmark’s factor analysis capabilities.

OCR-EDR: Rendering-Aware Diagnosis and Repair for Closed-Loop OCR Improvement

OCR-EDR is a rendering‑aware framework that diagnoses and repairs OCR errors by comparing an editable OCR prediction with its rendered image. It jointly assesses consistency, localizes genuine errors, and applies executable edits, optionally requesting updated renderings for iterative reassessment. On the newly constructed OCRErrBench, the DocEDR model achieves 94.78% diagnostic accuracy and repairs 86.23% of erroneous inputs, improving formula metrics by up to 30.99 percentage points on benchmark datasets.

OCR-EDR: Rendering-Aware Diagnosis and Repair for Closed-Loop OCR Improvement

OCR-EDR is a rendering‑aware framework that diagnoses and repairs OCR errors by jointly evaluating an OCR prediction, its editable form, and the rendered image of the source document. It localizes genuine mistakes while preserving valid or rendering‑equivalent predictions, then applies executable edits and iteratively reassesses with updated renderings. On the newly constructed OCRErrBench, the DocEDR model achieves 94.78% diagnostic accuracy and repairs 86.23% of errors, boosting formula metrics by up to 30.99 percentage points and improving CDM scores on several OCR systems.

PlotPick: AI-powered batch extraction of numerical data from scientific figures

PlotPick is an open‑source tool that employs vision‑language models (VLMs) to batch‑extract tabular data from scientific figures. In benchmarks on synthetic chart datasets (ChartX and PlotQA), nine VLMs generally outperform the dedicated chart‑to‑table model DePlot, especially on box plots and horizontal bar charts. The tool’s figure detection, output formatting, and default model (Claude Haiku 4.5) were not evaluated, and accuracy on real biomedical figures remains unverified.

SAM-on-the-Curve: Sharpness-Aware Mode Connectivity for Robust Weight-Space Interpolation

The paper introduces Sharp Mode Connectivity (SMC), a new formulation of mode connectivity that optimizes for flatness in the entire local neighborhood of a weight-space path rather than just along the path itself. By applying a sharpness-aware approximation to a minimax objective, SMC produces low-loss curves that remain robust to distribution shifts, achieving significant accuracy gains on CIFAR‑10‑C and outperforming standard mode connectivity on several architectures.
