Researchers explored the Mutual Reinforcement Effect (MRE) in multimodal document understanding, specifically whether training a single model on both fine-grained (span-level) and coarse-grained (document-level) tasks simultaneously improves performance. They found that standard joint training did not consistently reinforce performance across both granularities on three corpora (receipts and business forms). However, a "conditioned training" approach, where the output of one task's gold standard was fed into the other task's prompt during training, showed significant improvements on two of the three datasets, particularly for document-level tasks.
