# LayoutLM [LayoutLM](https://huggingface.co/papers/1912.13318) jointly learns text and the document layout rather than focusing only on text. It incorporates positional layout information and visual features of words from the document images. You can find all the original LayoutLM checkpoints under the [LayoutLM](https://huggingface.co/collections/microsoft/layoutlm-6564539601de72cb631d0902) collection. > [!TIP] > Click on the LayoutLM models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply LayoutLM to different vision and language tasks. The example below demonstrates question answering with the [AutoModel](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModel) class. ```python import torch from datasets import load_dataset from transformers import AutoTokenizer, LayoutLMForQuestionAnswering tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("impira/layoutlm-document-qa", add_prefix_space=True) model = LayoutLMForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained("impira/layoutlm-document-qa", device_map="auto") dataset = load_dataset("nielsr/funsd", split="train") example = dataset[0] question = "what's his name?" words = example["words"] boxes = example["bboxes"] encoding = tokenizer( question.split(), words, is_split_into_words=True, return_token_type_ids=True, return_tensors="pt" ) bbox = [] for i, s, w in zip(encoding.input_ids[0], encoding.sequence_ids(0), encoding.word_ids(0)): if s == 1: bbox.append(boxes[w]) elif i == tokenizer.sep_token_id: bbox.append([1000] * 4) else: bbox.append([0] * 4) encoding["bbox"] = torch.tensor([bbox]) word_ids = encoding.word_ids(0) outputs = model(**encoding) loss = outputs.loss start_scores = outputs.start_logits end_scores = outputs.end_logits start, end = word_ids[start_scores.argmax(-1)], word_ids[end_scores.argmax(-1)] print(" ".join(words[start : end + 1])) ``` ## Notes - The original LayoutLM was not designed with a unified processing workflow. Instead, it expects preprocessed text (`words`) and bounding boxes (`boxes`) from an external OCR engine (like [Pytesseract](https://pypi.org/project/pytesseract/)) and provide them as additional inputs to the tokenizer. - The [forward()](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/layoutlm#transformers.LayoutLMModel.forward) method expects the input `bbox` (bounding boxes of the input tokens). Each bounding box should be in the format `(x0, y0, x1, y1)`. `(x0, y0)` corresponds to the upper left corner of the bounding box and `{x1, y1)` corresponds to the lower right corner. The bounding boxes need to be normalized on a 0-1000 scale as shown below. ```python def normalize_bbox(bbox, width, height): return [ int(1000 * (bbox[0] / width)), int(1000 * (bbox[1] / height)), int(1000 * (bbox[2] / width)), int(1000 * (bbox[3] / height)), ] ``` - `width` and `height` correspond to the width and height of the original document in which the token occurs. These values can be obtained as shown below. ```python from PIL import Image # Document can be a png, jpg, etc. PDFs must be converted to images. image = Image.open(name_of_your_document).convert("RGB") width, height = image.size ``` ## Resources A list of official Hugging Face and community (indicated by 🌎) resources to help you get started with LayoutLM.

These will be merged with the explicit parameters and other kwargs, with explicit parameters taking precedence. - **add_special_tokens** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) -- Whether or not to add special tokens when encoding the sequences. This will use the underlying `PretrainedTokenizerBase.build_inputs_with_special_tokens` function, which defines which tokens are automatically added to the input ids.
