arXiv:2609.17458v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Table understanding is a core task in document intelligence, encompassing two key subtasks: table reconstruction and table visual question answering...
arXiv:2606. 09578v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly evaluated on table reasoning tasks, but the role of table representation remains under-explored.
arXiv:2608. 12898v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Document parsing aims to transform unstructured documents into structured and machine-readable representations.
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.
TabuLM is a new language model pre‑trained on Kinyarwanda tabular data, extending KinyaBERT‑large with row, column, and cell‑type embeddings and a table‑structure attention bias. It introduces two pre‑training objectives—Masked Cell Recovery and Column Type Prediction—and is trained on 172 Rwandan government tables. On the TabQA‑kin benchmark, TabuLM achieves 62.0% exact match, outperforming KinyaBERT‑large and multilingual baselines by significant margins.
We present TabuLM, the first language model pre-trained on Kinyarwanda tabular data. Kinyarwanda is a morphologically rich Bantu language spoken by over 12 million people in Rwanda, yet lacks any dedi...
