PaddleOCR-VL: Boosting Multilingual Document Parsing via a 0.9B Ultra-Compact Vision-Language Model

🔥 Official Website: Baidu AI Studio | 📝 arXiv: Technical Report

Introduction

PaddleOCR-VL is a SOTA and resource-efficient model tailored for document parsing. Its core component is PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B, a compact yet powerful vision-language model (VLM) that integrates a NaViT-style dynamic resolution visual encoder with the ERNIE-4.5-0.3B language model to enable accurate element recognition. This innovative model efficiently supports 109 languages and excels in recognizing complex elements (e.g., text, tables, formulas, and charts), while maintaining minimal resource consumption. Through comprehensive evaluations on widely used public benchmarks and in-house benchmarks, PaddleOCR-VL achieves SOTA performance in both page-level document parsing and element-level recognition. It significantly outperforms existing solutions, exhibits strong competitiveness against top-tier VLMs, and delivers fast inference speeds. These strengths make it highly suitable for practical deployment in real-world scenarios.

Core Features

Compact yet Powerful VLM Architecture: We present a novel vision-language model that is specifically designed for resource-efficient inference, achieving outstanding performance in element recognition. By integrating a NaViT-style dynamic high-resolution visual encoder with the lightweight ERNIE-4.5-0.3B language model, we significantly enhance the model’s recognition capabilities and decoding efficiency. This integration maintains high accuracy while reducing computational demands, making it well-suited for efficient and practical document processing applications.
SOTA Performance on Document Parsing: PaddleOCR-VL achieves state-of-the-art performance in both page-level document parsing and element-level recognition. It significantly outperforms existing pipeline-based solutions and exhibiting strong competitiveness against leading vision-language models (VLMs) in document parsing. Moreover, it excels in recognizing complex document elements, such as text, tables, formulas, and charts, making it suitable for a wide range of challenging content types, including handwritten text and historical documents. This makes it highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of document types and scenarios.
Multilingual Support: PaddleOCR-VL Supports 109 languages, covering major global languages, including but not limited to Chinese, English, Japanese, Latin, and Korean, as well as languages with different scripts and structures, such as Russian (Cyrillic script), Arabic, Hindi (Devanagari script), and Thai. This broad language coverage substantially enhances the applicability of our system to multilingual and globalized document processing scenarios.

PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B Usage with transformers

Currently, we support inference using the PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B model with the transformers library, which can recognize texts, formulas, tables, and chart elements. In the future, we plan to support full document parsing inference with transformers. Below is a simple script we provide to support inference using the PaddleOCR-VL-0.9B model with transformers.

[!NOTE] Note: We currently recommend using the official method for inference, as it is faster and supports page-level document parsing. The example code below only supports element-level recognition.

python

from PIL import Image
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor

# ---- Settings ----
model_path = "PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR-VL"
image_path = "test.png"
task = "ocr" # Options: 'ocr' | 'table' | 'chart' | 'formula'
# ------------------

DEVICE = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"

PROMPTS = {
    "ocr": "OCR:",
    "table": "Table Recognition:",
    "formula": "Formula Recognition:",
    "chart": "Chart Recognition:",
}

image = Image.open(image_path).convert("RGB")

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_path, trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
).to(DEVICE).eval()
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_path, trust_remote_code=True)

messages = [
    {"role": "user",         
     "content": [
            {"type": "image", "image": image},
            {"type": "text", "text": PROMPTS[task]},
        ]
    }
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    messages, 
    tokenize=True, 
    add_generation_prompt=True, 	
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt"
).to(DEVICE)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1024)
outputs = processor.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
print(outputs)
