• Abstract summary: We introduce two newly curated multilingual datasets WIKI-DOC and MULTIEUR-DOCLEX. We study popular visually-rich document understanding or Document AI models in previously untested setting in document image classification. Experimental results show limitations of multilingual Document AI models on cross-lingual transfer across typologically distant languages.

• Abstract: Document image classification is different from plain-text document classification and consists of classifying a document by understanding the content and structure of documents such as forms, emails, and other such documents. We show that the only existing dataset for this task (Lewis et al., 2006) has several limitations and we introduce two newly curated multilingual datasets WIKI-DOC and MULTIEURLEX-DOC that overcome these limitations. We further undertake a comprehensive study of popular visually-rich document understanding or Document AI models in previously untested setting in document image classification such as 1) multi-label classification, and 2) zero-shot cross-lingual transfer setup. Experimental results show limitations of multilingual Document AI models on cross-lingual transfer across typologically distant languages. Our datasets and findings open the door for future research into improving Document AI models.

• Unified Multi-Modal Interleaved Document Representation for Information Retrieval [57.65409208879344]
  We produce more comprehensive and nuanced document representations by holistically embedding documents interleaved with different modalities. Specifically, we achieve this by leveraging the capability of recent vision-language models that enable the processing and integration of text, images, and tables into a unified format and representation.

  Representing structured documents as plain text is incongruous with the user's mental model of these documents with rich structure. We propose PDFTriage that enables models to retrieve the context based on either structure or content. Our benchmark dataset consists of 900+ human-generated questions over 80 structured documents.

The collected dataset, named DocumentNet, does not depend on specific document types or entity sets. Experiments on a set of broadly adopted VDER tasks show significant improvements when DocumentNet is incorporated into the pre-training.
