Benchmarking Open-Source Layout Detection Models for Data Snapshot Extraction from Institutional Documents
arXiv:2606.06242v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Institutional documents contain substantial amounts of operational and analytical information embedded within figures and tables. Current approaches for extracting visual content from documents are largely built around generic document layout analysis, where figures and tables are treated as uniformly relevant document objects rather than semantically meaningful analytical artifacts. In this work, we introduce a benchmark dataset and evaluation framework for \textit{data snapshot extraction}, the task of identifying and localizing semantically me
The proliferation of digital documents across institutions makes the automated extraction of structured data critical for analytical tasks and AI training, with current generic solutions proving insufficient.
Improving data snapshot extraction directly enhances the ability of AI systems to consume and analyze complex information from institutional documents, accelerating automation in white-collar sectors.
The explicit focus on 'data snapshot extraction' recognizes the semantic value of figures and tables beyond generic layout, enabling more targeted and effective data ingestion pipelines for AI.
