Sumen: End-To-End Transformer Model for Image-To-LaTeX with Enhanced Performance and Large Datasets
摘要
Converting mathematical formulas (MF) from images into LaTeX sequences poses a substantial difficulty, primarily due to the two-dimensional structure of MF and the limited availability of comprehensive training datasets. In this study, we present Sumen model (Scaling Up Image-to-LaTeX Performance), an innovative end-to-end Transformer model equipped with a Swin Transformer encoder and a decoder-Transformer architecture, designed to address these challenges. Utilizing the largest dataset to date, Sumen achieves notable advancements in accuracy metrics such as BLEU (95.59), Edit Distance (97.3), and Exact Match (69.23) on the img2latex100k benchmark, along with significant improvements across CROHME datasets for handwritten MF. These findings highlight Sumen’s effectiveness as a versatile tool for various formula recognition tasks.
