• Abstract: Visual information extraction (VIE) from visually rich documents remains challenging due to high layout variability and real-world impairments. Existing methods typically rely on sequential OCR pipelines or end-to-end models requiring extensive labeled data and layout-specific training, limiting their scalability.We propose a classification-guided large vision-language model (LVLM) framework for multi-type VIE that achieves high accuracy with minimal supervision. The approach decouples document-type classification from content extraction and employs in-context learning (ICL)-based dynamic prompt engineering to inject task-specific knowledge, enabling robust zero-shot inference across diverse layouts. From a theoretical perspective, the proposed method can be viewed as a form of conditional computation that reduces task uncertainty and improves information efficiency during prompt-based inference. Evaluated on a real-world bidding dataset with 16 certificate types, our zero-shot method (based on Qwen2.5-VL-7B) outperforms a strong supervised baseline by 18.35 percentage points in F1-score (86.43\% vs. 68.08\%) and 0.23 in normalized edit distance (0.90 vs. 0.67). Optional domain-specific fine-tuning further improves performance to 93.65\% F1 and 0.93 NED, demonstrating superior robustness against seals, watermarks, and low contrast. The framework offers an efficient, scalable solution for complex document understanding in office automation.
