A new research paper benchmarks several open-source large language models (LLMs) for key-value pair extraction from documents, specifically examining their performance under Optical Character Recognition (OCR) noise. The study found that while LLMs perform well with clean text, their accuracy significantly degrades when faced with noisy OCR inputs. Performance differences between models also diminish as input corruption increases, highlighting that OCR quality becomes the primary limiting factor in real-world scenarios. The research identifies common failure modes such as key-value misalignment and hallucination, underscoring the need for improvements in both OCR technology and LLM's semantic reasoning capabilities for robust document understanding.
