The COTe score: A decomposable framework for evaluating Document Layout Analysis models

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces the Structural Semantic Unit (SSU) and the Coverage, Overlap, Trespass, and Excess (COTe) score as a new framework for evaluating Document Layout Analysis (DLA) models. Unlike traditional metrics such as IoU, F1, or mAP, which are tailored to 2D projections of 3D space, COTe focuses on the semantic structure of printed media and is decomposable to reveal specific failure modes like breaching semantic boundaries or redundant parsing. Experiments on five common DLA models across three datasets show that COTe is more informative and robust—especially under granularity mismatches—than F1, and the authors provide an SSU-labelled dataset and a Python library to facilitate adoption.

WeVisDoc: From Coverage to Capability for Robust End-to-End Document Parsing

WeVisDoc is a two‑stage data‑centric framework designed to improve end‑to‑end document parsing. Stage I expands coverage by adding heterogeneous data and applying structure‑preserving degradation synthesis, while Stage II evaluates residual errors with a held‑out probe and uses those diagnostics to target data construction and token budget reallocation. The resulting WeVisDoc‑4B model achieves an overall score of 95.38 on OmniDocBench v1.6 and outperforms competing parsers across all evaluated settings, with Stage II delivering notable gains on degraded tracks.

From Pixels to Pairs: A Comprehensive Benchmark of LLM-Driven Key-Value Extraction in Noisy Document Settings

The paper introduces a controlled benchmark for evaluating large language models (LLMs) on key‑value pair extraction from documents with varying levels of OCR noise. It tests 136 configurations across five instruction‑tuned open‑weight LLMs, three datasets, and four text‑quality conditions, using deterministic decoding to generate 17,688 document‑level inferences. The study finds that clean‑text performance does not reliably predict real‑world robustness, model rankings can reverse under noisy conditions, and few‑shot demonstrations do not always improve accuracy, highlighting reliability risks in OCR‑to‑LLM pipelines.
