Document OCR using DeepSeek-OCR-2

This dataset contains markdown-formatted OCR results from images in davanstrien/nls-highland-news-sample using DeepSeek-OCR-2.

Processing Details

Source Dataset: davanstrien/nls-highland-news-sample
Model: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR-2
Number of Samples: 68
Processing Time: 8.5 min
Processing Date: 2026-02-20 17:03 UTC

Configuration

Image Column: image
Output Column: markdown
Dataset Split: train
Batch Size: 8
Max Model Length: 8,192 tokens
Max Output Tokens: 8,192
GPU Memory Utilization: 80.0%

Model Information

DeepSeek-OCR-2 is a 3B parameter vision-language model featuring Visual Causal Flow architecture for more human-like visual encoding. Building on DeepSeek-OCR v1, it offers enhanced document understanding with dynamic resolution up to (0-6)x768x768 + 1x1024x1024 patches.

Capabilities

LaTeX equations - Mathematical formulas preserved in LaTeX format
Tables - Extracted and formatted as HTML/markdown
Document structure - Headers, lists, and formatting maintained
Image grounding - Spatial layout and bounding box information
Complex layouts - Multi-column and hierarchical structures
Multilingual - Supports multiple languages

Dataset Structure

The dataset contains all original columns plus:

markdown: The extracted text in markdown format with preserved structure
inference_info: JSON list tracking all OCR models applied to this dataset

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
import json

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("{{output_dataset_id}}", split="train")

# Access the markdown text
for example in dataset:
    print(example["markdown"])
    break

# View all OCR models applied to this dataset
inference_info = json.loads(dataset[0]["inference_info"])
for info in inference_info:
    print(f"Column: {{info['column_name']}} - Model: {{info['model_id']}}")

Reproduction

This dataset was generated using the uv-scripts/ocr DeepSeek-OCR-2 vLLM script:

uv run https://huggingface.co/datasets/uv-scripts/ocr/raw/main/deepseek-ocr2-vllm.py \\
    davanstrien/nls-highland-news-sample \\
    <output-dataset> \\
    --image-column image

Performance

Processing Speed: ~0.1 images/second
Processing Method: Batch processing with vLLM (2-3x speedup over sequential)
