Modern deep learning (DL) applications require large amounts of high-quality data. Advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs), enable the creation of new synthetic data. However, semi-structured documents (SSDs) are often overlooked due to data scarcity, high annotation costs, and sensitive information, limiting the training of robust document understanding models.
The proposed framework utilizes open-weight LLMs to create fully-annotated receipts, a type of semi-structured document. It involves defining document structure, generating section dimensions and topics with LLMs, and then generating HTML for the receipts. A crucial step is automatic quality assessment using LLMs to ensure high accuracy, improving correctness from 91% to 98%.
Experiments with the SROIE dataset demonstrate that mixing synthetic data with real data significantly improves information extraction performance. Global accuracy increased by 7.6%, and for specific fields like 'TOTAL', accuracy improved by nearly 30% (32.9% F1-score increase). This highlights the need for diverse training data and the effectiveness of synthetic data augmentation for enhancing LayoutLM performance.
Enterprise Process Flow
| Metric | SROIE Only | SROIE + Synthetic |
|---|---|---|
| Global Accuracy | 77.3% | 85.9% |
| Global F1-score | 76.6% | 84.9% |
| 'TOTAL' F1-score | 28.9% | 61.1% |
| 'COMPANY' F1-score | 92.5% | 92.9% |
Augmenting with synthetic data significantly boosts performance, especially for challenging fields like 'TOTAL', highlighting the critical role of diverse training data. |

Realizing Efficiency: Automated Document Generation
This framework directly addresses data scarcity in document processing by providing a fully automated, high-quality synthetic data generation pipeline. Unlike previous approaches, it uses open-weight LLMs for content generation and includes an automated self-assessment step, raising document correctness to 98%. This enables significant improvements in models like LayoutLM, boosting information extraction accuracy by 7.6% globally and up to 32.9% for complex fields like 'TOTAL'. The approach is flexible and extendable to various semi-structured document types, offering a robust solution for enterprise AI.
Highlight: Automated, high-quality synthetic data generation addresses critical data scarcity issues in AI document processing for enterprise solutions.
