Popis: We present a novel deep-learning-based method to cluster words in documents which we apply to detect and recognize tables given the OCR output. We interpret table structure bottom-up as a graph of relations between pairs of words (belonging to the same row, column, header, as well as to the same table) and use a transformer encoder model to predict its adjacency matrix. We demonstrate the performance of our method on the PubTables-1M dataset as well as PubTabNet and FinTabNet datasets. Compared to the current state-of-the-art detection methods such as DETR and Faster R-CNN, our method achieves similar or better accuracy, while requiring a significantly smaller model.
