Google AI Unveils the Visually Rich Document Understanding (VRDU) Dataset: Enhancing the Progress Tracking of Document Understanding Tasks
Just in from Google: the Visually Rich Document Understanding (VRDU) dataset is now live! Presented at KDD 2023, this revolutionary dataset is set to redefine how we approach complex document processing. Here’s what you need to know:
Highlights:
?? Real-world Complexity: VRDU aims to align academic research with real-world applications. Forget simple flat schemas; this dataset introduces rich, complex layouts.
?? Challenging Current Models: This isn't just another benchmark. VRDU shows even state-of-the-art models have room for growth, especially with structured repeated fields.
??? Two Unique Datasets: With Registration Forms and Ad-Buy forms, VRDU represents genuine use cases, setting a new standard in data efficiency evaluation.
?? Open to Researchers: Under a Creative Commons license, VRDU is here to encourage innovation and push the boundaries of document understanding.
