WigtnOCR-2B: Pseudo-Label Distillation for Structure-Preserving Document Parsing

Built by WIGTN Crew

A 2B VLM distilled from 30B teacher that matches its document parsing quality — and achieves #1 retrieval among 6 parsers on Korean government documents.

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

Quick Start

Transformers (Direct Inference)

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)

vllm serve Wigtn/Qwen3-VL-2B-WigtnOCR \
    --max-model-len 16384 \
    --trust-remote-code

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)

KoGovDoc Retrieval Results

Semantic chunking (BGE-M3) → FAISS retrieval on 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)
