Multimodal key information extraction (KIE) models have been studied extensively on semi-structured documents. However, their investigation on unstructured documents is an emerging research topic. The paper presents an approach to adapt a multimodal transformer (i.e., ViBERTgrid previously explored on semi-structured documents) for unstructured financial documents, by incorporating a BiLSTM-CRF layer. The proposed ViBERTgrid BiLSTM-CRF model demonstrates a significant improvement in performance (up to 2% points) on named entity recognition from unstructured documents in financial domain, while maintaining its KIE performance on semi-structured documents. As an additional contribution, we publicly released token-level annotations for the SROIE dataset in order to pave the way for its use in multimodal sequence labeling models.
