PP-Chart2Table

Introduction

PP-Chart2Table is a SOTA multimodal model developed by the PaddlePaddle team, specializing in chart parsing for both Chinese and English. Its high performance is driven by a novel "Shuffled Chart Data Retrieval" training task, which, combined with a refined token masking strategy, significantly improves its efficiency in converting charts to data tables. The model is further strengthened by an advanced data synthesis pipeline that uses high-quality seed data, RAG, and LLMs persona design to create a richer, more diverse training set. To address the challenge of large-scale unlabeled, out-of-distribution (OOD) data, the team implemented a two-stage distillation process, ensuring robust adaptability and generalization on real-world data. In-house benchmarks demonstrate that PP-Chart2Table not only outperforms models of a similar scale but also achieves performance on par with 7-billion parameter Vision Language Models (VLMs) in critical application scenarios.
