Problem

Compare ways of extracting data from PDFs and pick a pipeline using measured accuracy.

Requirements

  • 20 PDFs that contain tables.
  • A comparison of text extraction, OCR or layout parsing, and a vision-language model.
  • Field-level accuracy for each method.
  • Page citations.

Prerequisites

Tasks

  • To do: Collect 20 PDFs with tables.
  • To do: Extract with three methods.
  • To do: Measure field accuracy for each.
  • To do: Add page citations to the output.
  • To do: Choose a pipeline and say why.

Evaluation

Record real measurements and never invent numbers. The finished project should give you: parsing-quality insight and table handling.
