In the scientific literature, there are many charts, each with its stylistic differences. Recently the document understanding community has begun to address the problem of automatic chart understanding, which begins with chart classification. In this paper, we present a survey of the current state-of-the-art techniques for chart classification and discuss the available datasets and their supported chart types. We broadly classify these contributions as traditional approaches based on ML, CNN, and Transformers. Furthermore, we carry out an extensive comparative performance analysis of CNN-based and transformer-based approaches on the recently published CHARTINFO UB-UNITECH PMC dataset for the CHART-Infographics competition at ICPR 2022. The data set includes 15 different chart categories, including 22,923 training images and 13,260 test images. We have implemented a vision-based transformer model that produces state-of-the-art results in chart classification.","PeriodicalId":290651,"journal":{"name":"ICDAR Workshops","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133392240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Uzunalioglu","doi":"10.48550/arXiv.2306.04787","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2306.04787","url":null,"abstract":"Multi-document summarization (MDS) refers to the task of summarizing the text in multiple documents into a concise summary. The generated summary can save the time of reading many documents by providing the important content in the form of a few sentences. Abstractive MDS aims to generate a coherent and fluent summary for multiple documents using natural language generation techniques. In this paper, we consider the unsupervised abstractive MDS setting where there are only documents with no groundtruh summaries provided, and we propose Absformer, a new Transformer-based method for unsupervised abstractive summary generation. Our method consists of a first step where we pretrain a Transformer-based encoder using the masked language modeling (MLM) objective as the pretraining task in order to cluster the documents into semantically similar groups; and a second step where we train a Transformer-based decoder to generate abstractive summaries for the clusters of documents. To our knowledge, we are the first to successfully incorporate a Transformer-based model to solve the unsupervised abstractive MDS task. We evaluate our approach using three real-world datasets from different domains, and we demonstrate both substantial improvements in terms of evaluation metrics over state-of-the-art abstractive-based methods, and generalization to datasets from different domains.","PeriodicalId":290651,"journal":{"name":"ICDAR Workshops","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125489617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper solves the segmentation problem by introducing a state-of-the-art method (BN-DRISHTI) that combines a deep learning-based object detection framework (YOLO) with Hough and Affine transformation for skew correction. However, training deep learning models requires a massive amount of data. Thus, we also present an extended version of the BN-HTRd dataset comprising 786 full-page handwritten Bangla document images, line and word-level annotation for segmentation, and corresponding ground truths for word recognition. Evaluation on the test portion of our dataset resulted in an F-score of 99.97% for line and 98% for word segmentation. For comparative analysis, we used three external Bangla handwritten datasets, namely BanglaWriting, WBSUBNdb_text, and ICDAR 2013, where our system outperformed by a significant margin, further justifying the performance of our approach on completely unseen samples.","PeriodicalId":290651,"journal":{"name":"ICDAR Workshops","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117206967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
