# WigtnOCR-2B: Pseudo-Label Distillation for Structure-Preserving Document Parsing
[](https://huggingface.co/Wigtn/Qwen3-VL-2B-WigtnOCR) [](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Wigtn/KoGovDoc-Bench) [](https://github.com/WIGTN/wigtnOCR-v1) [](LICENSE) [](https://www.python.org/) [](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm)
**Built by [WIGTN Crew](https://wigtn.com)**
_A 2B VLM distilled from 30B teacher that matches its document parsing quality — and achieves **#1 retrieval** among 6 parsers on Korean government documents._

⭐️ **Base Model**: [Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct)
⭐️ **Dataset**: [huggingface.co/datasets/Wigtn/KoGovDoc-Bench](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Wigtn/KoGovDoc-Bench)

## Key Features
* **30B → 2B Distillation**: Matches or exceeds 30B teacher in 4/5 OmniDocBench categories via quality-filtered pseudo-labeling
* **Table TEDS +12.6pp**: Surpasses teacher on table structure recognition through selective training on high-quality GT
* **#1 Retrieval**: Best Hit@1 (0.739) and MRR@10 (0.788) among 6 parsers — proving structured parsing improves RAG
* **Korean Government Documents**: Optimized for complex Korean government layouts (tables, forms, multi-column)
* **Production-Ready**: Single GPU serving via vLLM, 2B params, fast inference

## Quick Start
### Transformers (Direct Inference)
```python
from transformers import Qwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor
from PIL import Image
model = Qwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
"Wigtn/Qwen3-VL-2B-WigtnOCR",
torch_dtype="auto",
device_map="auto",
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Wigtn/Qwen3-VL-2B-WigtnOCR")
image = Image.open("document_page.png")
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are WigtnOCR, a document parser. Convert the document image to well-structured Markdown."},
{"role": "user", "content": [
{"type": "image", "image": image},
{"type": "text", "text": "Convert this document page to Markdown. Preserve all headings, tables, formulas, and reading order."},
]},
]
text = processor.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = processor(text=[text], images=[image], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
output_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=4096)
output = processor.batch_decode(output_ids[:, inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
print(output)
```
### vLLM (Production Serving)
```bash
vllm serve Wigtn/Qwen3-VL-2B-WigtnOCR \
--max-model-len 16384 \
--trust-remote-code
```
```python
from openai import OpenAI
import base64
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1", api_key="dummy")
with open("document_page.png", "rb") as f:
img_b64 = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="Wigtn/Qwen3-VL-2B-WigtnOCR",
messages=[
{"role": "system", "content": "You are WigtnOCR, a document parser. Convert the document image to well-structured Markdown."},
{"role": "user", "content": [
{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": f"data:image/png;base64,{img_b64}"}},
{"type": "text", "text": "Convert this document page to Markdown."},
]},
],
max_tokens=4096,
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
```

## OmniDocBench Results
Evaluated on [OmniDocBench](https://github.com/opendatalab/OmniDocBench) (CVPR 2025) — 1,355 pages across 9 document types.
| Metric | Qwen3-VL-2B | WigtnOCR-2B | Qwen3-VL-30B | Marker | Direction |
| Text NED | 0.364 | 0.288 | 0.289 | 0.218 | lower=better |
| Table TEDS | 0.561 | 0.649 | 0.523 | 0.586 | higher=better |
| Table TEDS-S | 0.667 | 0.732 | 0.657 | 0.658 | higher=better |
| Formula CDM F1 | 0.865 | 0.884 | 0.939 | 0.863 | higher=better |
| Formula ExpRate | 0.504 | 0.600 | 0.692 | 0.582 | higher=better |
| Reading Order NED | 0.300 | 0.211 | 0.227 | 0.165 | lower=better |
| Skip Rate | 18.8% | 5.8% | 5.5% | 0.4% | lower=better |
**Student matches or exceeds 30B teacher in 4/5 metric categories.** Table TEDS surpasses teacher by +12.6pp, suggesting quality-filtered distillation produces a stronger training signal than the teacher's average output.

## KoGovDoc Retrieval Results
Semantic chunking (BGE-M3) → FAISS retrieval on [KoGovDoc-Bench](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Wigtn/KoGovDoc-Bench) — 294 val pages, 564 queries, 6 parsers compared.
| Model | Type | Hit@1 ↑ | Hit@5 ↑ | MRR@10 ↑ | nDCG@10 ↑ |
| WigtnOCR-2B | VLM (ours) | 0.739 | 0.855 | 0.788 | 0.437 |
| Qwen3-VL-30B | VLM (teacher) | 0.716 | 0.839 | 0.771 | 0.411 |
| Marker | PDF parser | 0.711 | 0.853 | 0.771 | 0.412 |
| Qwen3-VL-2B | VLM (base) | 0.709 | 0.814 | 0.756 | 0.444 |
| MinerU | PDF parser | 0.608 | 0.789 | 0.682 | 0.384 |
| PaddleOCR | Pure OCR | 0.512 | 0.693 | 0.592 | 0.293 |
**WigtnOCR-2B ranks #1 in Hit@1, Hit@5, and MRR@10** — proving structured VLM parsing directly improves RAG retrieval over traditional OCR pipelines.
---
## BC vs. Retrieval: An Interesting Finding
Chunk quality (BC/CS, MoC framework) does **not** predict retrieval performance.
| Model | BC ↑ | CS ↓ | Hit@1 ↑ |
| MinerU | 0.735 | 2.711 | 0.608 (5th) |
| WigtnOCR-2B | 0.706 | 2.859 | 0.739 (1st) |
| PaddleOCR | 0.654 | 3.420 | 0.512 (6th) |
MinerU produces the cleanest chunk boundaries but ranks 5th in retrieval. **Text richness and structural fidelity matter more than boundary quality for end-to-end RAG.**
---
## KoGovDoc Parsing Quality
| Model | NED ↓ | Evaluated |
| WigtnOCR-2B | 0.285 | 289/294 |
| Qwen3-VL-30B (Teacher) | 0.334 | 294/294 |
| Qwen3-VL-2B (Base) | 0.390 | 294/294 |
WigtnOCR-2B surpasses its 30B teacher on Korean government documents.

## Ablation Study
| Config | LoRA r | Epochs | Text NED ↓ | Table TEDS ↑ | TEDS-S ↑ | CDM F1 ↑ | RO NED ↓ | Skip % ↓ | Verdict |
| v1 (final) | 8 | 3 | 0.288 | 0.649 | 0.732 | 0.884 | 0.211 | 5.8% | Best overall |
| v2-best | 32 | 3 | 0.309 | 0.600 | 0.697 | — | 0.215 | 0.7% | Table regression |
| v2-last | 32 | 5 | 0.306 | 0.610 | 0.695 | 0.892 | 0.214 | 0.0% | Overfitting on text |
**Key findings:**
- **LoRA rank 8 outperforms rank 32** — larger capacity leads to table structure regression (-4.9pp TEDS) despite marginally better formula recognition
- **3 epochs optimal** — 5 epochs causes overfitting (eval loss rises after epoch 3)
- **v2 improves skip rate** to 0% but at the cost of core parsing quality
- **v1 selected as final model** due to superior table/text quality which matters most for downstream RAG

## Evaluation Stack
| Component | Tool | Purpose |
|-----------|------|---------|
| Preprocessing | PyMuPDF | PDF → page images (200 DPI) |
| Chunking | BGE-M3 (semantic) | Embedding-based boundary detection |
| BC/CS Metrics | Qwen2.5-1.5B | Perplexity computation (MoC, ACL 2025) |
| Embedding | BAAI/bge-m3 | Chunk → vector |
| Retrieval | FAISS | Cosine similarity search |
---
## Intended Use
- Korean government document digitization and parsing
- RAG pipeline preprocessing (PDF → structured Markdown → chunks → retrieval)
- Academic paper parsing (tables, formulas, reading order)
- Bilingual (Korean + English) document processing
## Limitations
- Optimized for Korean and English; other languages may have reduced quality
- Formula recognition still trails 30B teacher (CDM F1: 0.884 vs 0.939)
- Best results at 200 DPI; lower resolution degrades quality
- Skip rate 5.8% — some complex pages may fail (v2 achieves 0% but with quality trade-offs)
