🧵Our team at @Pulse__AI has been analyzing the table extraction benchmarks the industry is converging on. Most don't reflect how these systems get used in enterprise workflows, and in some cases the ground truth itself has issues that change how you'd interpret the leaderboard.

The full analysis with examples is in the comments. One specific benchmark worth diving into deeper:

We audited all 1,000 RD-TableBench ground truth files against their source images. 43 (4.3%) contain verifiable errors across three categories: scrambled text or wrong structure (28), garbled OCR including watermark bleed and hallucinated characters (13), and buffer artifacts with random digit sequences attached to real numeric values (2).

On top of that, 89 of the 1,000 ground truth files are byte-for-byte identical to a single provider output shipped in the same dataset. In 15 of the 43 error cases, the ground truth and this provider share the exact same specific error while independent providers do not. Column headers in the same wrong word order ('tropical forest Arid scrub' instead of 'Arid tropical scrub forest'). Watermark text like pulled into cell content in both, and identical garbled character sequences on CJK samples.

Benchmarks are becoming the basis for how document intelligence is being measured, and ground truth quality is the foundation they rest on. We think it's worth the community being able to evaluate that alongside the numbers.

The NHL Alumni Association is heartbroken to learn that Mel Bridgman has passed away at the age of 70.

After recording 157 points in just 66 games for the Victoria Cougars of the Western Canada Hockey League (now the WHL) in 1974-75, the Philadelphia Flyers selected Mel first overall in the 1975 NHL amateur draft.

Mel made an immediate impact with the Flyers, scoring his first career goal in his first career game on October, 9, 1975, following it up by scoring his second goal in as many career games.

Mel played his first 462 NHL games in a Flyers sweater, before suiting for the Calgary Flames, New Jersey Devils, Detroit Red Wings, and Vancouver Canucks, respectively. Mel finished his career with 701 points across 977 regular-season games from 1975 to 1989.

Always a trusted and dependable teammate, Mel twice served as team captain on two occasions over the course of his 14 NHL seasons, with the Flyers from 1979 to 1981, and with the New Jersey Devils from 1984 to 87.

In the summer of 1991, two years removed from his final season of play, Mel was named the first general manager of the expansion Ottawa Senators and would serve in that role until 1993.

Mel was honoured with an induction into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame in 2005.

We send our deepest condolences to Mel’s family, friends, and former teammates during this incredibly difficult time.

It was an awful #SJSharks season, but besides the obvious (EK65 100, high pick), there were some underrated positives this year: https://t.co/KAYpeirXpu

[Fadi Ballou @fadi_ballou03]

@jbecher @HenryThrun EK65 first hat trick. Scored the tying goal and no one realized it was a hat trick. That game was great

[Fadi Ballou @fadi_ballou03]

@SanJoseSharks YESSIR good stuff. thanks!!

[Fadi Ballou @fadi_ballou03]

@jbecher @c_marleau This was from when he broke the most NHL games played record. I thought it was truly a classy move by the knights to congratulate him. Gained some respect for our biggest rivals :)

[Fadi Ballou @fadi_ballou03]

@jbecher @Burnzie88 A true classic. how can anyone hate on this masterpiece

[Fadi Ballou @fadi_ballou03]

@Zakman200 how could he sign with the sharks if he’s an RFA with NJ? wouldn’t NJ have his rights
