How Do Document Parsers Break? Auditing Structural Vulnerability in Document Intelligence

Document Layout Analysis (DLA) pipelines provide structured page representations for retrieval-augmented generation, long-document question answering, and other document intelligence systems, yet their robustness evaluation remains largely area-centric. We identify this Footprint Bias and propose a lightweight output-level auditing framework that decouples probe construction, policy-driven targeting, and structure-aware diagnosis. The framework combines Block-level Structural Loss Rate (B-SLR), granularity-aware exposure descriptors, and pathway attribution to analyze where perturbations interact with layout structure and how failures propagate. Across MinerU and PP-StructureV3 on 1,000 pages, affected area weakly tracks perturbation-induced OCR instability (R^2=0.384/0.110), whereas B-SLR aligns much more closely with it (R^2=0.727/0.916). Exposure descriptors further separate occlusion- and topology-dominant pathways, and small structurally targeted probes cause downstream QA/retrieval degradation comparable to larger-footprint perturbations. These results shift DLA robustness evaluation from footprint-based stress testing toward structure-aware vulnerability auditing.

Multi-Stage Spatio-Temporal Aggregation Transformer for Video Person Re-identification

In recent years, the Transformer architecture has shown its superiority in the video-based person re-identification task. Inspired by video representation learning, these methods mainly focus on designing modules to extract informative spatial and temporal features. However, they are still limited in extracting local attributes and global identity information, which are critical for the person re-identification task. In this paper, we propose a novel Multi-Stage Spatial-Temporal Aggregation Transformer (MSTAT) with two novel designed proxy embedding modules to address the above issue. Specifically, MSTAT consists of three stages to encode the attribute-associated, the identity-associated, and the attribute-identity-associated information from the video clips, respectively, achieving the holistic perception of the input person. We combine the outputs of all the stages for the final identification. In practice, to save the computational cost, the Spatial-Temporal Aggregation (STA) modules are first adopted in each stage to conduct the self-attention operations along the spatial and temporal dimensions separately. We further introduce the Attribute-Aware and Identity-Aware Proxy embedding modules (AAP and IAP) to extract the informative and discriminative feature representations at different stages. All of them are realized by employing newly designed self-attention operations with specific meanings. Moreover, temporal patch shuffling is also introduced to further improve the robustness of the model. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed modules in extracting the informative and discriminative information from the videos, and illustrate the MSTAT can achieve state-of-the-art accuracies on various standard benchmarks.
