Annotation Format Summary
All datasets use a similar annotation structure:
- SER labels: question, answer, header, other (BIO tagging at word or entity level)
- RE annotations:
linkingfield with pairs of (source_id, target_id) mapping questions to answers - Bounding boxes: [x0, y0, x1, y1] pixel coordinates (XFUND uses 0-1000 normalized coords)
