PP-Chart2Table
Overview
PP-Chart2Table is a SOTA multimodal model developed by the PaddlePaddle team, specializing in chart parsing for both Chinese and English. Its high performance is driven by a novel “Shuffled Chart Data Retrieval” training task, which, combined with a refined token masking strategy, significantly improves its efficiency in converting charts to data tables. The model is further strengthened by an advanced data synthesis pipeline that uses high-quality seed data, RAG, and LLMs persona design to create a richer, more diverse training set. To address the challenge of large-scale unlabeled, out-of-distribution (OOD) data, the team implemented a two-stage distillation process, ensuring robust adaptability and generalization on real-world data.
Model Architecture
PP-Chart2Table adopts a multimodal fusion architecture that combines a vision tower for chart feature extraction and a language model for table structure generation, enabling end-to-end chart-to-table conversion.
Usage
Single input inference
The example below demonstrates how to classify image with PP-Chart2Table using Pipeline or the AutoModel.
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="PaddlePaddle/PP-Chart2Table_safetensors")
# PPChart2TableProcessor uses hardcoded "Chart to table" instruction internally via chat template
conversation = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{
"type": "image",
"url": "https://paddle-model-ecology.bj.bcebos.com/paddlex/imgs/demo_image/chart_parsing_02.png",
},
],
},
]
result = pipe(text=conversation)
print(result[0]["generated_text"])Batched inference
Here is how you can do it with PP-Chart2Table using Pipeline or the AutoModel:
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="PaddlePaddle/PP-Chart2Table_safetensors")
# PPChart2TableProcessor uses hardcoded "Chart to table" instruction internally via chat template
conversation = [
{

],
},
]
result = pipe(text=[conversation, conversation])

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a Pp Chart2TableModel. It is used to instantiate a Pp Chart2Table 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 PaddlePaddle/PP-Chart2Table_safetensors
Configuration objects inherit from PreTrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PreTrainedConfig for more information.
Example:
>>> from transformers import GotOcr2ForConditionalGeneration, PPChart2TableConfig
>>> # Initializing a PPChart2Table style configuration
>>> configuration = PPChart2TableConfig()
>>> # Initializing a model from the PaddlePaddle/PP-Chart2Table_safetensors style configuration
>>> model = GotOcr2ForConditionalGeneration(configuration) # underlying architecture is Got Ocr 2
>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.configPPChart2TableImageProcessor
