Docling

📚 Fast and accurate tool to parse technical PDF documents

Parsing documents written for humans - such as scientific papers, policy documents and patents - is a well established use case of AI aiming to make the information inside those documents structured and usable. Up until now yοu could use either a specialised model that worked only in some cases or an LLM that was more general but failed often depending on the document format.

It seems that we may have the best of both worlds with Docling 🦆: a new tool, based on a layout- and table-aware architecture, but scaled to a large enough dataset to be more accurate and fast 🔥 It is also open source and easy to use with a few lines of code. Definitely worth trying it as a component of your RAG system or information extraction pipeline.
