A new study evaluates eight open-source vision-language models (VLMs) on their ability to perform Document Visual Question Answering (DocVQA) across three distinct document types: industrial documents, infographics, and slide decks. The research found that while large VLMs perform well on structured layouts in a zero-shot setting, their performance significantly degrades on more visually complex documents like infographics and slides. The study also highlights that supervised fine-tuning can yield substantial performance gains, particularly for smaller model architectures, and that visual understanding, rather than a lack of knowledge, is the primary limitation for DocVQA.
