通过结构化精修提升文档解析接口稳定性,减少布局错序问题。
Parser-Oriented Structural Refinement for a Stable Layout Interface in Document Parsing
- 在检测器与解析器间加入轻量级结构精修模块,统一处理实例保留与排序。
- 在OmniDocBench上实现0.024的阅读顺序编辑距离,显著降低序列错配。
- 适用于复杂版面文档,尤其适合对排版顺序敏感的端到端解析系统。
准确的文档解析需要强大的内容识别能力与稳定的解析器接口。在显式文档版面分析(DLA)流程中,下游解析器并不使用检测器的全部输出,而是基于保留并序列化的版面实例集进行处理。然而,在密集页面中,重叠区域与模糊边界会导致布局假设不稳定,使保留实例集与解析器输入顺序不一致,引发严重解析错误。为此,本文在DETR类检测器与解析器之间引入一个轻量级的结构精修阶段,将原始检测输出视为紧凑的假设池,通过查询特征、语义线索、框几何与视觉证据进行集合级推理。该模块从共享的精修结构状态出发,联合决定实例保留、精修框定位并预测解析器输入顺序。我们还引入保留导向监督与难度感知排序目标,以更好对齐保留实例集及其顺序,尤其在结构复杂的页面上。大量实验表明,该方法持续提升页面级布局质量。集成至标准端到端解析流程后,稳定化的解析器接口显著减少序列错配,在OmniDocBench上实现0.024的阅读顺序编辑距离。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate document parsing requires both robust content recognition and a stable parser interface. In explicit Document Layout Analysis (DLA) pipelines, downstream parsers do not consume the full detector output. Instead, they operate on a retained and serialized set of layout instances. However, on dense pages with overlapping regions and ambiguous boundaries, unstable layout hypotheses can make the retained instance set inconsistent with its parser input order, leading to severe downstream parsing errors. To address this issue, we introduce a lightweight structural refinement stage between a DETR-style detector and the parser to stabilize the parser interface. Treating raw detector outputs as a compact hypothesis pool, the proposed module performs set-level reasoning over query features, semantic cues, box geometry, and visual evidence. From a shared refined structural state, it jointly determines instance retention, refines box localization, and predicts parser input order before handoff. We further introduce retention-oriented supervision and a difficulty-aware ordering objective to better align the retained instance set and its order with the final parser input, especially on structurally complex pages. Extensive experiments on public benchmarks show that our method consistently improves page-level layout quality. When integrated into a standard end-to-end parsing pipeline, the stabilized parser interface also substantially reduces sequence mismatch, achieving a Reading Order Edit of 0.024 on OmniDocBench.
