Challenge: Document Layout Analysis tasks rely on visual cues to understand documents . traditional deep learning-based methods fail to recognize the layout and components of unstructured documents based on the document structure and the boundaries of each layout region.
Approach: They propose a way to harmonize and integrate heterogeneous aspects for Document Layout Analysis by using graph convolutional networks to enhance each aspect of features.
Outcome: The proposed task is based on three widely used datasets: PubLayNet, FUNSD, and DocBank.
