Model Architecture:

Architecture Type: YOLOX
Network Architecture: DarkNet53 Backbone + FPN decoupled head (one 1x1 convolution + 2 parallel 3x3 convolutions: one for classification and one for bounding box prediction)
Number of Model Parameters: ~5.4e7
Input Resize: (1024, 1024)

Input:

Input Types: Image
Input Formats: RGB
Input Parameters: Two Dimensional (2D)
Other Input Properties: Image is resized to (1024, 1024).

Output:

Output Types: Structured detections (bounding boxes + labels + confidence)
Output Format: JSON-compatible structure
Output Parameters: One Dimensional (1D)
Other Output Properties: Outputs bounding boxes, confidence scores, and object classes (chart, table, infographic, title, text, header/footer). Thresholds used for non-maximum suppression: conf_thresh = 0.01; iou_thresh = 0.5.

Output Classes:

• Table: Data structured in rows and columns
• Chart: Specifically bar charts, line charts, or pie charts
• Infographic: Visual representations of information more complex than a chart (diagrams, flowcharts); maps are not considered infographics
• Title: Section titles, or table/chart/infographic titles
• Header/footer: Page headers and footers
• Text: Regions of one or more text paragraphs, or standalone text not belonging to any of the classes above

Our AI models are designed and/or optimized to run on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems. By leveraging NVIDIA's hardware (e.g. GPU cores) and software frameworks (e.g., CUDA libraries), the model achieves faster training and inference times compared to CPU-only solutions.

Software Integration:

Runtime Engines: TensorRT
Supported Hardware Microarchitecture Compatibility:
NVIDIA Ampere
NVIDIA Hopper
NVIDIA Lovelace
Operating Systems: Linux

The integration of foundation and fine-tuned models into AI systems requires additional testing using use-case-specific data to ensure safe and effective deployment. Following the V-model methodology, iterative testing and validation at both unit and system levels are essential to mitigate risks, meet technical and functional requirements, and ensure compliance with safety and ethical standards before deployment.
