Document Visual Question Answering (DocVQA) remains challenging for existing Vision-Language Models (VLMs), especially under complex reasoning and multi-step workflows. Current approaches struggle to decompose intricate questions into manageable sub-tasks and often fail to leverage specialized proce
We propose **DocVXQA**, a novel framework for visually self-explainable document question answering, where the goal is not only to produce accurate answers to questions but also to learn visual heatmaps that highlight critical regions, offering interpretable justifications for the model decision.

In this paper, we propose a Text-Degradation Invariant Auto Encoder (Text-DIAE), a self-supervised model designed to tackle two tasks, text recognition (handwritten or scene-text) and document image enhancement. We start by employing a transformer-based architecture that incorporates three pretext…
