P Introducing the Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) Leaderboard – A Unified Benchmark for OCR, KIE, VQA, Table Extraction, and More

The most comprehensive benchmark to date for evaluating document understanding capabilities of Vision-Language Models (VLMs).

What is it?
A unified evaluation suite covering 6 core IDP tasks across 16 datasets and 9,229 documents:

Key Information Extraction (KIE)
Visual Question Answering (VQA)
Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
Document Classification
Table Extraction
Long Document Processing (LongDocBench)
(Coming soon: Confidence Score Calibration)

Each task uses multiple datasets, including real-world, synthetic, and newly annotated ones.

Highlights from the Benchmark

Gemini 2.5 Flash leads overall, but surprisingly underperforms its predecessor on OCR and classification.
All models struggled with long document understanding – top score was just 69.08%.
Table extraction remains a bottleneck — especially for long, sparse, or unstructured tables.
Surprisingly, GPT-4o's performance decreased in the latest version (gpt-4o-2024-11-20) compared to its earlier release (gpt-4o-2024-08-06).
Token usage (and thus cost) varies dramatically across models — GPT-4o-mini was the most expensive per request due to high token usage.

Why does this matter?
There’s currently no unified benchmark that evaluates all IDP tasks together — most leaderboards (e.g., OpenVLM, Chatbot Arena) don’t deeply assess document understanding.

Document Variety
We evaluated models on a wide range of documents: Invoices, forms, receipts,

I actually used Python practically the first time today!

I had to copy and paste a long sentence that was in all caps into a google doc, but didn't feel manually retyping the whole thing to be lower case, so I just wrote:

sentence = "Blah blah blah"

print(sentence.lower())

and voila, I have the long ass sentence in full lower case. Just wanted to share my milestone with some fellow python enthusiasts.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone here ever used flask as the backend to a mobile app?

Started learning flask and the ease of certain things such as getting a development server up and running has me hooked. I eventually will like to build a mobile app for the saas web application I will begin working on soon as I get more experience.

simplesi - a units-aware package for engineers

GitHub Link: [https://github.com/jkbgbr/simplesi](https://github.com/jkbgbr/simplesi)

**What my project does**

simplesi is a package for units-aware engineering calculations with the primary scope to be used in applications / calculation documentation rather than interactive environments.

simplesi provides:

* A means of defining SI and non-SI unit environments, possibly at a package-external location.
* Arithmetics, comparisons etc. with units-aware quantities - use them as regular numbers.
* Options to set printing and error handling behaviour.
* Substantial speedup when compared to [forallpeople](https://github.com/connorferster/forallpeople) or [pint](https://github.com/hgrecco/pint).

The project is used in production environment, but should be considered beta as only the structural environment is actively used. Testers, contributors etc. are welcome, the project will be actively maintained in the forseeable future.

Though the current scope is as stated above, I'm not against enhancements towards jupyter, numpy etc. usage; these are likely possible already now but not tested.

**Target audience**

* Whoever needs to use units in their calculations - probably engineers, engineering students.

**Why I made this**

I work as design engineer and got frustrated over issues with both forallpeople and pint in my use cases.

TIL that a function with 'yield' will return a generator, even if the 'yield' is conditional

This function (inefficient as it is) behaves as expected:

def greet(as_list: bool):
    message = 'hello!'
    if as_list:
        message_list = []
        for char in message:
            message_list += char
        return message_list
    else:
        return message

>>> greet(as_list=True)
['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '!']
>>> greet(as_list=False)
'hello!'

But what happens if we replace the list with a generator and return with yield?

def greet(as_generator: bool):
    message = 'hello!'
    if as_generator:
        for char in message:
            yield char
    else:
        return message

>>> greet(as_generator=True)
<generator object greet at 0x0000023F0A066F60>
>>> greet(as_generator=False)
<generator object greet at 0x0000023F0A066F60>

Even though the function is called with as_generator=False, it still returns a generator object!

Several years of Python experience and I did not know that until today :O

all routes with rendertemplate() stopped working after deleting and recreating database.

I deleted my posts.db and suddenly after creating a new one all of the routes that end with return render\template() don't work anymore, they all return 404. I deleted it after changing around the User, BlogPost and Comment db models. It worked perfectly fine before. I'm following a course on Udemy to learn Python btw

Could anyone help us with this program problem?

my wife and I have been going to couples therapy and we've been assigned to work on something we both like. We've both enjoyed robotics back in school so we bought the maqueen plus. We've hit a wall with our program. It's supposed to be going around the black edge and stopping at the top opening (as you could see if you try it). The problem is if he even stays on track long enough, he doesnt stop at the white opening. If anyone knows how to fix our bug, we'd be so grateful.

Every script can become a web app with no effort.

When implementing a functionality, you spend most of time developing the UI. Should it run in the terminal only or as a desktop application? These problems are no longer something you need to worry about; the library Mininterface provides several dialog methods that display accordingly to the current environment – as a clickable window or a text on screen. And it works out of the box, requiring no previous knowledge.

What My Project Does

The current version includes a feature that allows every script to be broadcast over HTTP. This means that whatever you do or have already done can be accessed through the web browser. The following snippet will bring up a dialog window.

from mininterface import run

m = run()
m.form({"Name": "John Doe", "Age": 18})

Now, use the bundled mininterface program to expose it on a port:

$ mininterface web program.py --port 1234

Besides, a lot of new functions have been added. Multiple selection dialog, file picker both for GUI and TUI, minimal installation dropped to 1 MB, or added argparse support. The library excels in generating command-line flags, but before, it only served as an

I feel stuck, books recommendations?

I’ve been programming in python for almost 2 years. I love python and I’m focusing in data analytics using python.

I’m tired of watching YouTube videos and tutorials, do you guys have some books to recommend?

I’m looking to improve my programming skills in general, to understand in a deeper level how python works or useful things to know about it idk.

I haven’t read any programming books in my life so idk what they talk about haha

Preferably, intermediate level books.

Thank you!

Looking for Full Stack Django Engineer (Django/Angular)

I work for a large public sector software company and I am looking to hire a full-time Django full stack engineer (US citizens only due to security compliance for some of the data we deal with). We are deciding between Django or .NET for the backend, and it will largely be dependent on the best resource we find and their skill set. On the frontend, we are are planning to use Angular (to be consistent with our other applications).

I have hired two other Django developers that I found through this subreddit in the past, and they both have been awesome, so hoping for a similar experience again.

The job is located in College Station, TX. In a perfect world, the candidate we choose would be close to this location, but I am open to hiring a remote resource if we can't find the right person close (some travel will be required, especially at the beginning if this is the case). The primary reason we would like the resource to be close is that they will need to work with the existing product team to understand the existing product in order to build automation and tooling to simplify the configuration and deployment

I made a Vim Game in Python

I made a vim game in python using pygame. I would describe it as if Letter Invaders from Typing Tutor 7 had vim motions. It is in the early stages of development, so please go easy in the comments.

\#What My Project Does

It is a vim game in pygame designed to help the user build up speed and familiarity with the vim motions

\#Target Audience

People who use vim and want to become fast with the motions

\#Comparison

Alternative games include VimBeGood and Golf.Vim. This is closer to VimBeGood, in that it focuses on building up speed, rather than giving the user a single puzzle to study.
