多模态协作代理框架,让文档理解更准。

MDocAgent: A Multi-Modal Multi-Agent Framework for Document Understanding

  • 五类专用代理协同处理文本与图像信息
  • 在多个基准上平均提升12.1%准确率
  • 适合需要图文联合分析的复杂文档任务

文档问答(DocQA)是常见任务。现有基于大语言模型(LLMs)或大视觉语言模型(LVLMs)与检索增强生成(RAG)的方法常依赖单一模态,难以有效融合文本与视觉线索,复杂多模态推理能力不足,限制了其在真实文档上的表现。我们提出MDocAgent(一种用于文档理解的多模态多代理框架),结合文本与图像信息。系统包含五个专业代理:通用代理、批判代理、文本代理、图像代理和总结代理,通过多模态上下文检索协同工作,整合各自洞察以实现对文档内容更全面的理解。该协作机制使系统能融合文本与视觉信息,显著提升问答准确率。在MMLongBench、LongDocURL等五个基准上的初步实验表明,相比当前最优方法,平均提升12.1%。本工作推动了更具鲁棒性与综合性的DocQA系统发展,可应对富含文本与视觉信息的真实文档。数据与代码已公开于https://github.com/aiming-lab/MDocAgent。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Document Question Answering (DocQA) is a very common task. Existing methods using Large Language Models (LLMs) or Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) often prioritize information from a single modal, failing to effectively integrate textual and visual cues. These approaches struggle with complex multi-modal reasoning, limiting their performance on real-world documents. We present MDocAgent (A Multi-Modal Multi-Agent Framework for Document Understanding), a novel RAG and multi-agent framework that leverages both text and image. Our system employs five specialized agents: a general agent, a critical agent, a text agent, an image agent and a summarizing agent. These agents engage in multi-modal context retrieval, combining their individual insights to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the document's content. This collaborative approach enables the system to synthesize information from both textual and visual components, leading to improved accuracy in question answering. Preliminary experiments on five benchmarks like MMLongBench, LongDocURL demonstrate the effectiveness of our MDocAgent, achieve an average improvement of 12.1% compared to current state-of-the-art method. This work contributes to the development of more robust and comprehensive DocQA systems capable of handling the complexities of real-world documents containing rich textual and visual information. Our data and code are available at https://github.com/aiming-lab/MDocAgent.
