Overview - Document Information Localization and Extraction

DocILE is a large-scale research benchmark for cross-evaluation of machine learning methods for Key Information Localization and Extraction (KILE) and Line Item Recognition (LIR) from semi-structured business documents such as invoices, orders etc. Such large-scale benchmark was previously missing (Skalický et al., 2022), hindering comparative evaluation.
