    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Parses complex document images into structured data using a two-stage analyze-then-parse multimodal model.
    • Delivers efficient and accurate document parsing with a lightweight architecture and parallel element decoding.
    • Use for extracting structured content from scanned PDFs and images in natural reading order.
    • Use for parsing individual document elements like tables, formulas, and text paragraphs separately.
    • Use for integrating document image parsing into Python workflows with Hugging Face Transformer support.

    From the README

    Dolphin (Document Image Parsing via Heterogeneous Anchor Prompting) is a novel multimodal document image parsing model following an analyze-then-parse paradigm. This repository contains the demo code and pre-trained models for Dolphin.

    Document image parsing is challenging due to its complexly intertwined elements such as text paragraphs, figures, formulas, and tables. Dolphin addresses these challenges through a two-stage approach:

    Dolphin achieves promising performance across diverse page-level and element-level parsing tasks while ensuring superior efficiency through its lightweight architecture and parallel parsing mechanism.
