Table Transformer
Overview
The Table Transformer model was proposed in PubTables-1M: Towards comprehensive table extraction from unstructured documents by Brandon Smock, Rohith Pesala, Robin Abraham. The authors introduce a new dataset, PubTables-1M, to benchmark progress in table extraction from unstructured documents, as well as table structure recognition and functional analysis. The authors train 2 DETR models, one for table detection and one for table structure recognition, dubbed Table Transformers.
The abstract from the paper is the following:
Recently, significant progress has been made applying machine learning to the problem of table structure inference and extraction from unstructured documents. However, one of the greatest challenges remains the creation of datasets with complete, unambiguous ground truth at scale. To address this, we develop a new, more comprehensive dataset for table extraction, called PubTables-1M. PubTables-1M contains nearly one million tables from scientific articles, supports multiple input modalities, and contains detailed header and location information for table structures, making it useful for a wide variety of modeling approaches. It also addresses a significant source of ground truth inconsistency observed in prior datasets called oversegmentation, using a novel canonicalization procedure. We demonstrate that these improvements lead to a significant increase in training performance and a more reliable estimate of model performance at evaluation for table structure recognition. Further, we show that transformer-based object detection models trained on PubTables-1M produce excellent results for all three tasks of detection, structure recognition, and functional analysis without the need for any special customization for these tasks.
Table detection and table structure recognition clarified. Taken from the original paper. The authors released 2 models, one for table detection in documents, one for table structure recognition (the task of recognizing the individual rows, columns etc. in a table).
This model was contributed by nielsr. The original code can be found here.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a TableTransformerModel. It is used to instantiate a Table Transformer model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the Table Transformer microsoft/table-transformer-detection architecture.
Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.
Examples:
>>> from transformers import TableTransformerModel, TableTransformerConfig
>>> # Initializing a Table Transformer microsoft/table-transformer-detection style configuration
>>> configuration = TableTransformerConfig()
>>> # Initializing a model from the microsoft/table-transformer-detection style configuration
>>> model = TableTransformerModel(configuration)
>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.configTableTransformerModel

The TableTransformerModel forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.
Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.
