Donut

Overview

The Donut model was proposed in OCR-free Document Understanding Transformer by Geewook Kim, Teakgyu Hong, Moonbin Yim, Jeongyeon Nam, Jinyoung Park, Jinyeong Yim, Wonseok Hwang, Sangdoo Yun, Dongyoon Han, Seunghyun Park. Donut consists of an image Transformer encoder and an autoregressive text Transformer decoder to perform document understanding tasks such as document image classification, form understanding and visual question answering.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Understanding document images (e.g., invoices) is a core but challenging task since it requires complex functions such as reading text and a holistic understanding of the document. Current Visual Document Understanding (VDU) methods outsource the task of reading text to off-the-shelf Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engines and focus on the understanding task with the OCR outputs. Although such OCR-based approaches have shown promising performance, they suffer from 1) high computational costs for using OCR; 2) inflexibility of OCR models on languages or types of document; 3) OCR error propagation to the subsequent process. To address these issues, in this paper, we introduce a novel OCR-free VDU model named Donut, which stands for Document understanding transformer. As the first step in OCR-free VDU research, we propose a simple architecture (i.e., Transformer) with a pre-training objective (i.e., cross-entropy loss). Donut is conceptually simple yet effective. Through extensive experiments and analyses, we show a simple OCR-free VDU model, Donut, achieves state-of-the-art performances on various VDU tasks in terms of both speed and accuracy. In addition, we offer a synthetic data generator that helps the model pre-training to be flexible in various languages and domains.

Usage tips

  • The quickest way to get started with Donut is by checking the tutorial notebooks, which show how to use the model at inference time as well as fine-tuning on custom data.
  • Donut is always used within the VisionEncoderDecoder framework.

Inference examples

Donut’s VisionEncoderDecoder model accepts images as input and makes use of generate() to autoregressively generate text given the input image.

The DonutImageProcessor class is responsible for preprocessing the input image and [XLMRobertaTokenizer/XLMRobertaTokenizerFast] decodes the generated target tokens to the target string. The DonutProcessor wraps DonutImageProcessor and [XLMRobertaTokenizer/XLMRobertaTokenizerFast] into a single instance to both extract the input features and decode the predicted token ids.
