Dr. DocBench - Reading Order Edit Distance: leaderboard
Dr. DocBench (2026) parses 4,514 difficult pages sampled by parser failure from long books in 52 subject domains, with expert annotations of text, formulas, tables and reading order. This board is the normalized edit distance between the predicted and the expert block reading order, times 100; lower is better.
Metric: Normalized edit distance of the predicted block reading order against the expert order, times 100 (0-100), 4,514 expert-annotated difficult pages sampled by parser failure from long books in 52 subject domains; each page parsed with the model's own document-to-markdown prompt (specialized parsers through their official APIs); lower is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 12 models tracked.
