LongHisDoc: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Chinese Long Historical Document Understanding

To bridge this gap, we introduce LongHisDoc, the first benchmark tailored for long historical document understanding.

Key points

  • Chinese historical documents are invaluable cultural treasures, but their complexity poses significant comprehension challenges for non-specialists.
  • Despite the success of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) in modern document tasks, their capabilities in Long (full-book) Historical Document understanding remain largely unexplored.
  • LongHisDoc comprises 1,012 expert-annotated QA pairs derived from 101 PDF documents, with an average of 85.1 pages and 42,776.4 tokens per document.
  • Furthermore, we assess various modal retrievers and the end-to-end RAG performance to provide references for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems.
