New DocPO framework enhances document parsing with tailored rewards

Researchers have introduced DocPO, a new framework for document parsing that utilizes reinforcement learning with tailored step-aware rewards. This approach aims to improve accuracy in complex document parsing tasks by progressively sharpening reward signals during training, thereby amplifying subtle differences in high-scoring outputs. Experiments on benchmark datasets like OmniDocBench and DocElemHard demonstrate that DocPO, enhanced by its Step-Aware Annealing mechanism, consistently outperforms existing methods without requiring additional human supervision for reward construction.

    DocPO: Advancing Document Policy Optimization via Tailored Step-Aware Rewards

    arXiv:2608.00536v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) for document parsing often relies on reference-based rewards rooted in edit distance (e.g., tree edit distance), yet it remains hard to optimize in the high-accuracy regime because such rewards become wea…
