Description
The Pix2Struct model, as detailed in the paper titled “Pix2Struct: Screenshot Parsing as Pretraining for Visual Language Understanding” authored by Kenton Lee, Mandar Joshi, Iulia Turc, Hexiang Hu, Fangyu Liu, Julian Eisenschlos, Urvashi Khandelwal, Peter Shaw, Ming-Wei Chang, and Kristina Toutanova, introduces a novel approach to visually-situated language understanding.
In this context, the Pix2Struct model, originally conceived as an image-to-text model for visual language understanding, has been adapted through retraining to address the specific task of answering questions within the domain of DocVQA (Document Visual Question Answering). This approach highlights the versatility and adaptability of the model for specialized tasks, demonstrating how it can be successfully applied in specific contexts such as the one mentioned.
