English abstract:
This paper presents a methodology for the evaluation of
table understanding algorithms for PDF documents. The
evaluation takes into account three major tasks: table detection,
table structure recognition and functional analysis.
We provide a general and
exible output model for
each task along with corresponding evaluation metrics and
methods. We also present a methodology for collecting
and ground-truthing PDF documents based on consensusreaching
principles and provide a publicly available groundtruthed
dataset.
