| Abstract | Multilingual table structure recognition remains a challenging problem in document image analysis due to variations in scripts, layouts, and formatting styles. Although transformer-based approaches such as Table Transformer (TATR) have achieved strong performance on English-centric benchmarks, their effectiveness on multilingual documents is still limited. This paper presents a comprehensive study on multilingual row detection in tables by extending beyond TATR and evaluating object detection–based models, including YOLO and Faster R-CNN. The models are assessed using the structure-aware TEDS-S metric to ensure a fair and meaningful comparison across diverse table layouts and languages. Experiments conducted on large-scale public datasets and multilingual table documents demonstrate that CNN-based detectors offer competitive performance in row localization, while transformer-based methods excel in capturing global structural relationships. The findings highlight key trade-offs between accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency, and establish strong baselines for multilingual table row detection. This work contributes practical insights for designing scalable and language-agnostic table understanding systems. |
