+ # Dataset Card for JapaneseOCR Dataset
33
+
34
+
35
+ ### Dataset Summary
36
+ The Japanese dataset contains images derived from Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) white papers. This dataset is used for benchmarkingg and evaluating Large Language Models ability on converting unstructured dcuments, such as pdfs and images, into machine readable format, particularly in finance domain, where the conversion task is more complex and valuable.
37
+
38
+ ### Supported Tasks
39
+
40
+ - **Task:** Image-to-Text
41
+ - **Evaluation Metrics:** ROUGE-1
42
+
43
+ ### Languages
44
+
45
+ - Japanese
46
+
47
+ ## Dataset Structure
48
+
49
+ ### Data Instances
50
+ Each instance in the JapaneseOCR dataset comprises 2 fields:
51
+ - **image** : image of regulatory document, each image represent one page in pdf
52
+ - **text**: ground truth of text extracted from regulatory document
53
+
54
+ ### Data Fields
55
+ - **image** : string - Base64-encoded png
56
+ - **text**: extracted text from pdf files
57
+
58
+ ## Dataset Creation
59
+
60
+ ### Curation Rationale
61
+ The JapaneseOCR dataset was curated to support research and development on information extraction techniques and layout retain ability for unstructured documents in Japanese. By providing real-world white papers in unstructured format with ground truth, the dataset seeks to address challenges in extracting informat as well as layouts and convert into machine-readable format.
62
+
63
+ ### Source Data
64
+ #### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
65
+ - The source data are regulatory documents for Securities Market from Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) publically available.
66
+ - The pdf files of those documents are downloaded and split via API, split into page per file, and convert into images.
67
+
68
+ #### Who are the Source Language Producers?
69
+ - The source data are white papers from Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA), and is collected to from its official website: https://www.fsa.go.jp/en/
70
+
71
+ ### Annotations
72
+
73
+ #### Annotation Process
74
+ - The dataset was prepared by collecting, spliting, and converting regulatory documents in Japanese
75
+ - The annotation of ground truth text is done by Python OCR package ```fitz```
76
+
77
+ #### Who are the Annotators?
78
+
79
+ - The dataset stems from publicly available regulatory documents.
80
+ - No external annotation team was involved beyond this.
81
+
82
+ ### Personal and Sensitive Information
83
+
84
+ - The JapaneseOCR dataset does not contain any personally identifiable information (PII) and is strictly focused on Japanese-language regulatory data. No personal or sensitive information is present in the dataset.
85
+
86
+ ## Considerations for Using the Data
87
+
88
+ ### Social Impact of Dataset
89
+ This dataset enables AI models to extract structured information from scanned financial documents in Japanese, supporting downstream applications in finance, regulation, and transparency initiatives across Japanese-speaking regions. By aligning page-level PDF images with accurate ground truth text, it supports the development of fairer, more inclusive models that work across diverse formats and languages.
90
+
91
+ ### Discussion of Biases
92
+ - The source data is limited to regulatory documents for Securities Markets, it may underrepresent other financial document types such as tax records, bank statements, or private company reports, potentially limiting model generalizability.
93
+
94
+ ### Other Known Limitations
95
+ - The ground truth text is extracted using the Python package fitz (PyMuPDF), which may introduce inaccuracies in complex layouts, potentially affecting training quality and evaluation reliability.
96
+ - While the dataset covers regulatory documents, it may lack sufficient variety in layout styles (e.g., handwritten notes, non-standard financial forms, embedded charts), which could limit a model’s ability to generalize to less structured or unconventional financial documents.
