Dataset Card for PubTables-1M_OTSL

Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

This dataset enables the evaluation of both object detection models and image-to-text methods. PubTables-1M is introduced in the publication "PubTables-1M: Towards Comprehensive Table Extraction From Unstructured Documents" by Smock et al. The conversion into HF (Hugging Face) and the addition of the OTSL (Optimized Table Structure Language) format is presented in our paper "Optimized Table Tokenization for Table Structure Recognition" by Lysak et al. The dataset includes the original annotations amongst new additions.

Dataset Structure

  • cells: origunal dataset cell groundtruth (content).
  • table_bbox: origunal dataset table detection groundtruth.
  • otsl: new reduced table structure token format
  • html: Generated HTML for PubTables-1M to match PubTabNet, FinTabNet, and SynthTabNet format.
  • html_restored: generated HTML from OTSL.
  • cols: grid column length.
  • rows: grid row length.
  • image: PIL image

OTSL Vocabulary:

OTSL: new reduced table structure token format More information on the OTSL table structure format and its concepts can be read from our paper. Format of this dataset extends work presented in a paper, and introduces slight modifications:

  • "fcel" - cell that has content in it
  • "ecel" - cell that is empty
  • "lcel" - left-looking cell (to handle horizontally merged cells)
  • "ucel" - up-looking cell (to handle vertically merged cells)
  • "xcel" - 2d span cells, in this dataset - covers entire area of a merged cell
  • "nl" - new line token

Data Splits

The dataset provides three splits

  • train
  • val
  • test
