Description
PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 is an upgraded document parsing model developed to improve upon its predecessor, PaddleOCR-VL-1.5. This model introduces a region-aware data optimization framework that identifies and enhances weak regions from the previous version, thereby improving the reliability of supervision signals. Additionally, it employs a progressive post-training recipe that utilizes curated data selection and reinforcement learning to optimize model performance.

PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 has achieved a new state-of-the-art score of 96.33% on the OmniDocBench v1.6, setting new records on OmniDocBench v1.5 and Real5-OmniDocBench. It demonstrates strong competitiveness against top-tier vision-language models (VLMs). The model architecture is fully compatible with PaddleOCR-VL-1.5, allowing for zero-cost plug-and-play migration.
The model offers significant improvements in various recognition tasks, including table recognition, Chinese ancient document recognition, and Chinese rare character recognition. It also enhances seal/stamp recognition, text spotting, and chart recognition across diverse scenarios.
PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 supports seamless inference via the transformers library, facilitating comprehensive text spotting and recognition of complex elements such as formulas, tables, charts, and seals. Users are encouraged to utilize the official method for inference, which is faster and supports page-level document parsing.
