CommonForms: A Large, Diverse Dataset for Form Field Detection
This repository hosts the CommonForms dataset, a web-scale dataset for form field detection, introduced in the paper CommonForms: A Large, Diverse Dataset for Form Field Detection.
CommonForms casts the problem of form field detection as object detection: given an image of a page, predict the location and type (Text Input, Choice Button, Signature) of form fields.
Key Features:
- Scale: Roughly 55,000 documents comprising over 450,000 pages.
- Source: Constructed by filtering Common Crawl to find PDFs with fillable elements.
- Diversity: Contains a diverse mixture of languages (one third non-English) and domains, with no single domain making up more than 25% of the dataset.
- Purpose: The first large-scale dataset released for form field detection, aimed at fostering the development of robust form field detectors.
