Performance Demonstration

Many current open-source SOTA models are trained and evaluated on academic datasets, achieving high-quality results only on single document types. To enable models to achieve stable and robust high-quality results on diverse documents, we constructed diverse fine-tuning datasets and fine-tuned some SOTA models to obtain practical parsing models. Below are some visual results of the models.

Layout Detection

We trained robust Layout Detection models using diverse PDF document annotations. Our fine-tuned models achieve accurate extraction results on diverse PDF documents such as papers, textbooks, research reports, and financial reports, and demonstrate high robustness to challenges like blurring and watermarks. The visualization example below shows the inference results of the fine-tuned LayoutLMv3 model.

Formula Detection

Similarly, we collected and annotated documents containing formulas in both English and Chinese, and fine-tuned advanced formula detection models. The visualization result below shows the inference results of the fine-tuned YOLO formula detection model:

Formula Recognition

UniMERNet is an algorithm designed for diverse formula recognition in real-world scenarios. By constructing large-scale training data and carefully designed results, it achieves excellent recognition performance for complex long formulas, handwritten formulas, and noisy screenshot formulas.

For more visual and inference results of the models, please refer to the PDF-Extract-Kit tutorial documentation.

Evaluation Metrics

Coming Soon!

Usage Guide

Environment Setup

conda create -n pdf-extract-kit-1.0 python=3.10
conda activate pdf-extract-kit-1.0

This project focuses on using models for high-quality content extraction from diverse documents and does not involve reconstructing extracted content into new documents, such as PDF to Markdown. For such needs, please refer to our other GitHub project: MinerU.

To-Do List

• Table Parsing: Develop functionality to convert table images into corresponding LaTeX/Markdown format source code.
• Chemical Equation Detection: Implement automatic detection of chemical equations.
• Chemical Equation/Diagram Recognition: Develop models to recognize and parse chemical equations and diagrams.
• Reading Order Sorting Model: Build a model to determine the correct reading order of text in documents.

PDF-Extract-Kit aims to provide high-quality PDF content extraction capabilities. We encourage the community to propose specific and valuable needs and welcome everyone to participate in continuously improving the PDF-Extract-Kit tool to advance research and industry development.
