Introduction

UDOP unifies vision, text, and layout through vision-text-layout Transformer and unified generative pretraining tasks including vision task, text task, layout task, and mixed task. We show the task prompts (left) and task targets (right) for all self-supervised objectives (joint text-layout reconstruction, visual text recognition, layout modeling, and masked autoencoding) and two example supervised objectives (question answering and layout analysis).

Install

Setup `python` environment

conda create -n UDOP python=3.8   # You can also use other environment.

Install other dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run Scripts

Switch model type by:

--model_type "UdopDual"

--model_type "UdopUnimodel"

Finetuninng on RVLCDIP

Download RVLCDIP first and change the path For OCR, you might need to customize your code

bash scripts/finetune_rvlcdip.sh   # Finetuning on RVLCDIP

Finetuninng on DUE Benchmark

Download Duebenchmark and follow its procedure to preprocess the data.

The training code adapted to our framework is hosted at benchmarker by running:

bash scripts/finetune_duebenchmark.sh   # Finetuning on DUE Benchmark, Switch tasks by changing path to the dataset

Evaluation of the output generation can be evaluated by Duebenchmark due_evaluator

Model Checkpoints

The model checkpoints are hosted here Huggingface Hub
