Image vectorization aims to convert raster images into editable, scalable vector representations while preserving visual fidelity. Existing vectorization methods struggle to represent complex real-world images, often producing fragmented shapes at the cost of semantic conciseness. In this paper, we
Real-world degradations, such as noise, blur, and low resolution, significantly impair the performance of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in document understanding tasks. Despite recent advancements, progress in this field remains stifled by two critical bottlenecks: the scarcity of large-…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have been shown to achieve breakthrough performances on complex logical reasoning tasks. Nevertheless, most existing research focuses on employing formal language to guide LLMs for deriving reliable reasoning paths, with systematic evaluations of these capabilities still
Remote work and online courses have become important methods of knowledge dissemination, leading to a large number of document-based instructional videos. Unlike traditional video datasets, these videos mainly feature rich-text images and audio that are densely packed with information closely tied t…
The goal of scene text image super-resolution (STISR) is to enhance the clarity of text within line images, thereby improving readability and enabling more accurate text recognition. However, existing STISR methods often rely heavily on Text Prior (TP) derived from trained recognizers, which can be…
In this paper, we propose a new data synthesis method called LogicPro, which leverages LeetCode-style algorithm Problems and their corresponding Program solutions to synthesize Complex Logical Reasoning data in text format.

Handwritten Mathematical Expression Recognition (HMER) has extensive applications in automated grading and office automation. However, existing sequence-based decoding methods, which directly predict LaTeX sequences, struggle to understand and model the inherent tree structure of LaTeX and often fa…
Handwritten Mathematical Expression Recognition (HMER) remains a persistent challenge in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) due to the inherent freedom of symbol layouts and variability in handwriting styles.

Text recognition in information loss scenarios like blurriness, occlusion, and perspective distortion is challenging in real-world applications. To enhance robustness, some studies use extra unlabeled data for encoder pretraining. Others focus on improving decoder context reasoning. However, pretrai…
Scene Text Image Super-Resolution (STISR) aims to enhance the resolution and legibility of text within low-resolution (LR) images, consequently elevating recognition accuracy in Scene Text Recognition (STR). Previous methods predominantly employ discriminative Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) au…
Ensuring both interpretability and correctness is a great challenge in automated geometry problem solving (GPS), and the scarcity of labeled data hinders learning mathematical reasoning from samples. Therefore, we present GeoDRL, a self-learning geometry problem solving framework that integrates log…
Table structure recognition aims to extract the logical and physical structure of unstructured table images into a machine-readable format. The latest end-to-end image-to-text approaches simultaneously predict the two structures by two decoders, where the prediction of the physical structure (the bo…
"The Transformer-based encoder-decoder architecture has recently made significant advances in recognizing handwritten mathematical expressions. However, the transformer model still suffers from the lack of coverage problem, making its expression recognition rate (ExpRate) inferior to its RNN counter…
