What is table-transformer-detection?
Table Transformer Detection is a specialized DETR-based model designed for identifying and localizing tables within documents. Developed by Microsoft, this model represents a significant advancement in document understanding, particularly for extracting structured information from unstructured documents.
Implementation Details
The model is built on the DETR (Detection Transformer) architecture with a crucial modification implementing the "normalize before" approach, where layer normalization is applied before self- and cross-attention operations. It's trained on the comprehensive PubTables1M dataset, making it particularly effective for academic and professional document processing.
