Alibaba Open-Sources ViDoRAG Intelligent Document Analysis Tool

ViDoRAG Workflow

Alibaba’s newly open-sourced ViDoRAG intelligent document analysis system achieves 79.4% accuracy in GPT-4o testing environments, representing over 10% improvement compared to traditional methods. The system can rapidly analyze complex documents containing text, images, and tables, effectively answering practical questions like “What is the maximum operating temperature of this product?”

Three Core Capabilities

  1. Smart Scanning: Locate key information in 100-page documents within 3 minutes
  2. Cross-Media Verification: Automatically check consistency between text descriptions and chart data
  3. Precision Answering: Provide accurate answers with specific page references

Technical Breakthroughs

  • Three-Tier Intelligent Collaboration:
    • Smart Scanner (Seeker): Rapidly identifies relevant pages
    • Professional Inspector: Conducts in-depth content reliability analysis
    • Answer Agent: Synthesizes information to generate final responses
  • Intelligent Hybrid Retrieval: Simultaneously processes text and image content
  • Modular Architecture: Independent upgradeability for retrieval, analysis, and generation modules

Dataset Samples

Professional Test Dataset

The open-source ViDoSeek dataset includes:

  • 2,500+ real-world documents (product manuals/academic papers/financial reports)
  • Four question categories:
    • Text information retrieval
    • Chart data analysis
    • Cross-page content association
    • Comprehensive conclusion derivation

Practical Applications

  • Manufacturing: Quick extraction of technical parameters from equipment manuals
  • Education: Analysis of experimental data charts in research papers
  • Finance: Automated extraction of key annual report metrics with summary generation

Key Information

Alibaba’s technical lead stated: “ViDoRAG functions like an intelligent microscope with professional assistants, enabling rapid extraction of valuable information from massive documents. The system’s modular design allows enterprises to freely combine functional components based on their needs.”
