# PubTables-v2
*PubTables-v2* is a new large-scale dataset for full-page and multi-page table extraction.

## News
```2025 Dec 11```: Our [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10888) is now available on arXiv
```2026 Feb 11```: PubTables-v2 has been officially released on Hugging Face!
## Collections
PubTables-v2 comes in 3 collections.
Each collection contains tables in a specific context: cropped tables (essentially context-free), tables within a full page context, and tables within a full document context.
### Cropped Tables

- **135,578** cropped tables, with each sample containing exactly one table cropped closely to its border
- In contrast with PubTables-1M, all of the cropped tables in this collection are either long (30 or more rows) or wide (12 or more columns)
- The data in this collection supports the traditional table structure recognition (TSR) task
- Note: **5,804** of these tables are currently part of an unreleased, private test set
### Single Pages

- **467,541** individual document pages, with each page containing 1 or more tables
- This collection contains **548,414** tables annotated in their full-page context
- The data in this collection supports the task of TD and the task of end-to-end table extraction (TE), or TSR in a full-page context
- Note: **43,288** of these pages are currently part of an unreleased, private test set
### Full Documents

- **9,172** full documents, with all pages included and all tables annotated
- This collection focuses on multi-page tables specifically—every document contains at least one multi-page table
- In total there are **9,492** multi-page tables, **630** single-page tables split across multiple columns, and **14,740** single-page, single-part tables
- The data in this collection supports the tasks of multi-page TD, multi-page TSR (cell structure and content but not location), and cross-page table continuation prediction
Note: A small percentage of the samples in PubTables-v2 are currently part of a private, unreleased test set.
These samples are held back to evaluate data leakage for the public test set in future models and will be released at some point in the future.
## Download
Currently we support downloading the dataset as a collection of tar.gz files.
Please switch to the "Files and versions" tab to download all of the files or use a command such as wget to download from the command line.
On your machine, make a directory called "PubTables-v2" (or whatever you prefer) to download the files into.
Once downloaded, use the included script "uncompress.sh" to extract and organize all of the data within that folder.
If you only want to uncompress files from a particular collection, such as the Single Pages collection, use the included script with that collection in the name.
