Abstract

The chapter delves into the ICDAR 2021 Competition on Document Visual Question Answering, highlighting the evolution of VQA tasks from natural images to documents and infographics. It discusses the introduction of the Infographics VQA task, which requires models to interpret layout and visual aspects of infographics. The chapter also explores the Document Collection VQA task, where models must provide answers and supporting evidence from a collection of documents. It summarizes the submissions and results from the competition, including the performance of state-of-the-art methods. Additionally, it provides an overview of the evaluation metrics used and the baselines established for the tasks. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the future directions of the DocVQA challenge and the potential for more semantically-driven approaches to document image analysis.
