| Challenge: | Form-like document understanding is a key yet under-investigated problem . endlessly training specialized models on new document types is not scalable in many practical scenarios. |
| Approach: | They propose to use large-scale query-entity pairs generated from form-like webpages to pre-train QueryForm. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework sets state-of-the-art average F1 score on XFUND and Payment benchmarks. |

| Challenge: | Form-like document understanding is a surging research topic due to its practical applications . form documents have unique challenges stemming from their structural characteristics . |
| Approach: | They propose a structure-aware sequence model that leverages spatial relationships between tokens in a form for more precise attention score calculation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing methods with a more compact model size and less pre-training data. |

| Challenge: | Existing approaches that extend the mask language modeling to other modalities require careful multi-task tuning, complex reconstruction target designs, or additional pre-training data. |
| Approach: | They propose a centralized multimodal graph contrastive learning strategy to unify self-supervised pre-training for all modalities in one loss. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art performance on FUNSD, CORD, SROIE and Payment benchmarks with a more compact model size. |
LMDX: Language Model-based Document Information Extraction and Localization (2024.findings-acl)

| Challenge: | Large Language Models have revolutionized Natural Language Processing but their application in extracting information from visually rich documents has not been successful. |
| Approach: | They propose a language model-based document information extraction and localization methodology to reframe the document information extract task for a LLM. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method enables extraction of singular, repeated, and hierarchical entities with and without training data. |
