DocGenome: An Open Large-scale Scientific Document Benchmark for Training and Testing Multi-modal Large Language Models

paper link: DocGenome

We present DocGenome, a structured document dataset constructed by annotating 500K scientific documents from 153 disciplines in the arXiv open-access community, using our custom auto-labeling pipeline DocParser. DocGenome features four characteristics:

• 1. Completeness: It is the first dataset to structure data from all modalities including 13 layout attributes along with their \LaTeX\ source codes.
• 2. Logicality: It provides 6 logical relationships between different entities within each scientific document.
• 3. Diversity: It covers various document-oriented tasks, including document classification, visual grounding, document layout detection, document transformation, open-ended single-page QA and multi-page QA.
• 4. Correctness: It undergoes rigorous quality control checks conducted by a specialized team.

Highlight:

• Data quality rating: for each structured document in DocGenome shown here
• Tutorials on how to use the DocGenome dataset.
• TestSet downloads from Huggingface. If you want to evaluate your model on TestSet, please refer to Evaluation.

Definition of relationships between component units

DocGenome contains 4 level relation types and 2 cite relation types, as shown in the following table:

Name	Description	Example
Identical	Two blocks share the same source code.	Cross-column text; Cross-page text.
Title adjacent	The two titles are adjacent.	(\section{introduction}, \section{method})
Subordinate	One block is a subclass of another block.	(\section{introduction}, paragraph within Introduction)
Non-title adjacent	The two text or equation blocks are adjacent.	(Paragraph 1, Paragraph 2)
Explicitly-referred	One block refers to another block via footnote, reference, etc.	(As shown in \ref{Fig: 5} ..., Figure 5)
Implicitly-referred	The caption block refers to the corresponding float environment.	(Table Caption 1, Table 1)

Attribute of component units

DocGenome has 13 attributes of component units, which can be categorized into two classes

• 1) Fixed-form units, including Text, Title, Abstract, etc., which are characterized by sequential reading and hierarchical relationships readily discernible from the list obtained in Stage-two of the designed DocParser.
• 2) Floating-form units, including Table, Figure, etc., which establish directional references to fixed-form units through commands like \texttt{\textbackslash ref} and \texttt{\textbackslash label}.
