# Table Transformer

## Overview

The Table Transformer model was proposed in [PubTables-1M: Towards comprehensive table extraction from unstructured documents](https://huggingface.co/papers/2110.00061) 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](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](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/table-transformer-detection) in
documents, one for [table structure recognition](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/table-transformer-structure-recognition)
(the task of recognizing the individual rows, columns etc. in a table).

This model was contributed by [nielsr](https://huggingface.co/nielsr). The original code can be
found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/table-transformer).

## Resources

- A demo notebook for the Table Transformer can be found [here](https://github.com/NielsRogge/Transformers-Tutorials/tree/master/Table%20Transformer).
- It turns out padding of images is quite important for detection. An interesting Github thread with replies from the authors can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/table-transformer/issues/68).

#### transformers.TableTransformerConfig[[transformers.TableTransformerConfig]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v5.0.0/src/transformers/models/table_transformer/configuration_table_transformer.py#L25)

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [TableTransformerModel](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/table-transformer#transformers.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](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/table-transformer-detection) architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) for more information.

Examples:

```python
>>> 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.config
```

**Parameters:**

The [TableTransformerModel](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/table-transformer#transformers.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.

Examples:

```python
>>> from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, TableTransformerModel
>>> from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
>>> from PIL import Image

>>> file_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="nielsr/example-pdf", repo_type="dataset", filename="example_pdf.png")
>>> image = Image.open(file_path).convert("RGB")

>>> image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("microsoft/table-transformer-detection")
>>> model = TableTransformerModel.from_pretrained("microsoft/table-transformer-detection")

>>> # prepare image for the model
>>> inputs = image_processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")

>>> # forward pass
>>> outputs = model(**inputs)

>>> # the last hidden states are the final query embeddings of the Transformer decoder
>>> # these are of shape (batch_size, num_queries, hidden_size)
>>> last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
>>> list(last_hidden_states.shape)

The [TableTransformerForObjectDetection](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/table-transformer#transformers.TableTransformerForObjectDetection) 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.

Examples:

```python
>>> from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
>>> from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, TableTransformerForObjectDetection
>>> import torch
>>> from PIL import Image

>>> file_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="nielsr/example-pdf", repo_type="dataset", filename="example_pdf.png")
>>> image = Image.open(file_path).convert("RGB")

>>> image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("microsoft/table-transformer-detection")
>>> model = TableTransformerForObjectDetection.from_pretrained("microsoft/table-transformer-detection")

>>> inputs = image_processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
>>> outputs = model(**inputs)

>>> # convert outputs (bounding boxes and class logits) to Pascal VOC format (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax)
>>> target_sizes = torch.tensor([image.size[::-1]])
>>> results = image_processor.post_process_object_detection(outputs, threshold=0.9, target_sizes=target_sizes)[
...     0
... ]

>>> for score, label, box in zip(results["scores"], results["labels"], results["boxes"]):
...     box = [round(i, 2) for i in box.tolist()]
...     print(
...         f"Detected {model.config.id2label[label.item()]} with confidence "
...         f"{round(score.item(), 3)} at location {box}"
...     )
Detected table with confidence 1.0 at location [202.1, 210.59, 1119.22, 385.09]
```

**Parameters:**

config ([TableTransformerConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/table-transformer#transformers.TableTransformerConfig)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from_pretrained()](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

**Returns:**

``transformers.models.table_transformer.modeling_table_transformer.TableTransformerObjectDetectionOutput` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)``

A `transformers.models.table_transformer.modeling_table_transformer.TableTransformerObjectDetectionOutput` or a tuple of
`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various
elements depending on the configuration ([TableTransformerConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.0.0/en/model_doc/table-transformer#transformers.TableTransformerConfig)) and inputs.

- **loss** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, *optional*, returned when `labels` are provided)) -- Total loss as a linear combination of a negative log-likehood (cross-entropy) for class prediction and a
  bounding box loss. The latter is defined as a linear combination of the L1 loss and the generalized
  scale-invariant IoU loss.
- **loss_dict** (`Dict`, *optional*) -- A dictionary containing the individual losses. Useful for logging.

  values are normalized in [0, 1], relative to the size of each individual image in the batch (disregarding
  possible padding). You can use `~TableTransformerImageProcessor.post_process_object_detection` to retrieve the
  unnormalized bounding boxes.
