Dataset Structure

The dataset contains all original columns plus:

markdown: The extracted text in markdown format
inference_info: JSON list tracking all OCR models applied to this dataset

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
import json

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("{output_dataset_id}", split="train")

# Access the markdown text
for example in dataset:
    print(example["markdown"])
    break

# View all OCR models applied to this dataset
inference_info = json.loads(dataset[0]["inference_info"])
for info in inference_info:
    print(f"Column: {info['column_name']} - Model: {info['model_id']}")
