DSG: An End-to-End Document Structure Generator
Information in industry, research, and the public sector is widely stored as rendered documents (e.g., PDF files, scans). Hence, to enable downstream tasks, systems are needed that map rendered documents onto a structured hierarchical format. However, existing systems for this task are limited by heuristics and are not end-to-end trainable. In this work, we introduce the Document Structure Generator (DSG), a novel system for document parsing that is fully end-to-end trainable. DSG combines a deep neural network for parsing (i) entities in documents (e.g., figures, text blocks, headers, etc.) and (ii) relations that capture the sequence and nested structure between entities. Unlike existing systems that rely on heuristics, our DSG is trained end-to-end, making it effective and flexible for real-world applications. We further contribute a new, large-scale dataset called E-Periodica comprising real-world magazines with complex document structures for evaluation. Our results demonstrate that our DSG outperforms commercial OCR tools and, on top of that, achieves state-of-the-art performance. To the best of our knowledge, our DSG system is the first end-to-end trainable system for hierarchical document parsing.
