# Dataset Card for Industry Documents Library (IDL)
## Dataset Description
- **Point of Contact from curators:** [Kate Tasker, UCSF](mailto:[email protected])
- **Point of Contact Hugging Face:** [Pablo Montalvo](mailto:[email protected])
### Dataset Summary
Industry Documents Library (IDL) is a document dataset filtered from [UCSF documents library](https://www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/) with 19 million pages kept as valid samples.
Each document exists as a collection of a pdf, a tiff image with the same contents rendered, a json file containing extensive Textract OCR annotations from the [idl_data](https://github.com/furkanbiten/idl_data) project, and a .ocr file with the original, older OCR annotation. In each pdf, there may be from 1 to up to 3000 pages.

This instance of IDL is in [webdataset](https://github.com/webdataset/webdataset/commits/main) .tar format.
### Usage with `chug`
Check out [chug](https://github.com/huggingface/chug), our optimized library for sharded dataset loading!
```python
import chug
task_cfg = chug.DataTaskDocReadCfg(page_sampling='all')
data_cfg = chug.DataCfg(
source='pixparse/idl-wds',
split='train',
batch_size=None,
format='hfids',
num_workers=0,
)
data_loader = chug.create_loader(
data_cfg,
task_cfg,
)
sample = next(iter(data_loader))
```
### Usage with datasets
This dataset can also be used with webdataset library or current releases of Hugging Face `datasets`.
Here is an example using the "streaming" parameter. We do recommend downloading the dataset to save bandwidth.
```python
dataset = load_dataset('pixparse/idl-wds', streaming=True)
print(next(iter(dataset['train'])).keys())
>> dict_keys(['__key__', '__url__', 'json', 'ocr', 'pdf', 'tif'])
```
For faster download, you can directly use the `huggingface_hub` library. Make sure `hf_transfer` is installed prior to downloading and mind that you have enough space locally.
```python
import os
os.environ["HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER"] = "1"
from huggingface_hub import HfApi, logging
#logging.set_verbosity_debug()
hf = HfApi()
hf.snapshot_download("pixparse/idl-wds", repo_type="dataset", local_dir_use_symlinks=False)
```
Further, a metadata file `_pdfa-english-train-info-minimal.json` contains the list of samples per shard, with same basename and `.json` or `.pdf` extension,
as well as the count of files per shard.
#### Words and lines document metadata
Initially, we obtained the raw data from the IDL API and combined it with the `idl_data` annotation. This information is then reshaped into lines organized in reading order, under the key lines. We keep non-reshaped word and bounding box information under the word key, should users want to use their own heuristic.
The way we obtain an approximate reading order is simply by looking at the frequency peaks of the leftmost word x-coordinate. A frequency peak means that a high number of lines are starting from the same point. Then, we keep track of the x-coordinate of each such identified column. If no peaks are found, the document is assumed to be readable in plain format.
The code to detect columns can be found here.
```python
def get_columnar_separators(page, min_prominence=0.3, num_bins=10, kernel_width=1):
"""
Identifies the x-coordinates that best separate columns by analyzing the derivative of a histogram
of the 'left' values (xmin) of bounding boxes.
Args:
page (dict): Page data with 'bbox' containing bounding boxes of words.
min_prominence (float): The required prominence of peaks in the histogram.
num_bins (int): Number of bins to use for the histogram.
kernel_width (int): The width of the Gaussian kernel used for smoothing the histogram.
Returns:
separators (list): The x-coordinates that separate the columns, if any.
"""
try:
left_values = [b[0] for b in page['bbox']]
hist, bin_edges = np.histogram(left_values, bins=num_bins)
hist = scipy.ndimage.gaussian_filter1d(hist, kernel_width)
min_val = min(hist)
hist = np.insert(hist, [0, len(hist)], min_val)
bin_width = bin_edges[1] - bin_edges[0]
bin_edges = np.insert(bin_edges, [0, len(bin_edges)], [bin_edges[0] - bin_width, bin_edges[-1] + bin_width])
peaks, _ = scipy.signal.find_peaks(hist, prominence=min_prominence * np.max(hist))
derivatives = np.diff(hist)
separators = []
if len(peaks) > 1:
# This finds the index of the maximum derivative value between peaks
# which indicates peaks after trough --> column
for i in range(len(peaks)-1):
peak_left = peaks[i]
peak_right = peaks[i+1]
max_deriv_index = np.argmax(derivatives[peak_left:peak_right]) + peak_left
separator_x = bin_edges[max_deriv_index + 1]
separators.append(separator_x)
except Exception as e:
separators = []
return separators
```
That way, columnar documents can be better separated. This is a basic heuristic but it should improve overall the readability of the documents.

For each pdf document, we store statistics on number of pages per shard, number of valid samples per shard. A valid sample is a sample that can be encoded then decoded, which we did for each sample.

The metadata for each document has been formatted in this way. Each `pdf` is paired with a `json` file with the following structure. Entries have been shortened for readability.
```json

The top-level key, `pages`, is a list of every page in the document. The above example shows only one page. `text` is a list of lines in the document, with their individual associated bounding box in the next entry. `bbox` contains the bounding box coordinates in `left, top, width, height` format, with coordinates relative to the page size. `poly` is the corresponding polygon.
`score` is the confidence score for each line obtained with Textract.
