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.

arXiv:2607. 07179v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Document Visual Question Answering (DocVQA) presents a complex multimodal challenge, requiring models to exploit visual, textual, and layout information from documents.
Document Visual Question Answering (DocVQA) presents a complex multimodal challenge, requiring models to exploit visual, textual, and layout information from documents. Although Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown remarkable performance in text-vision tasks, their robustness and transferability to different document domains remains underexplored.
The paper introduces a new task called compositional layout understanding, focusing on interpreting complex, multi‑layer document and UI designs. It presents CoDeLayout, a VQA dataset of about 20,000 real‑world layouts annotated with compositional element pairs and design intent. The authors identify semantic drift and structural ambiguity as key challenges for vision‑language models and propose MASON, a post‑training approach that combines multimodal alignment and structural perception to improve performance, achieving 91.66% accuracy with only 30% of the training data.
