### Dataset Summary

DocBank is a new large-scale dataset that is constructed using a weak supervision approach. It enables models to integrate both the textual and layout information for downstream tasks. The current DocBank dataset totally includes 500K document pages, where 400K for training, 50K for validation and 50K for testing.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Document AI (text and layout)

### Languages

English
