## 1. Introduction

VI-LayoutXLM is improved based on LayoutXLM. In the process of downstream finetuning, the visual backbone network module is removed, and the model infernce speed is further improved on the basis of almost lossless accuracy.

On XFUND_zh dataset, the algorithm reproduction Hmean is as follows.

Please refer to ["Environment Preparation"](./environment_en.md) to configure the PaddleOCR environment, and refer to ["Project Clone"](./clone_en.md) to clone the project code.


## 3. Model Training / Evaluation / Prediction

Please refer to [KIE tutorial](./kie_en.md)。PaddleOCR has modularized the code structure, so that you only need to **replace the configuration file** to train different models.


## 4. Inference and Deployment

### 4.1 Python Inference

- SER

First, we need to export the trained model into inference model. Take VI-LayoutXLM model trained on XFUND_zh as an example ([trained model download link](https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/ppstructure/models/vi_layoutxlm/ser_vi_layoutxlm_xfund_pretrained.tar)). Use the following command to export.


``` bash
wget https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/ppstructure/models/vi_layoutxlm/ser_vi_layoutxlm_xfund_pretrained.tar
tar -xf ser_vi_layoutxlm_xfund_pretrained.tar
python3 tools/export_model.py -c configs/kie/vi_layoutxlm/ser_vi_layoutxlm_xfund_zh.yml -o Architecture.Backbone.checkpoints=./ser_vi_layoutxlm_xfund_pretrained/best_accuracy Global.save_inference_dir=./inference/ser_vi_layoutxlm_infer
```

Use the following command to infer using VI-LayoutXLM SER model.


```bash
cd ppstructure
python3 kie/predict_kie_token_ser.py \
  --kie_algorithm=LayoutXLM \
  --ser_model_dir=../inference/ser_vi_layoutxlm_infer \
  --image_dir=./docs/kie/input/zh_val_42.jpg \
  --ser_dict_path=../train_data/XFUND/class_list_xfun.txt \
  --vis_font_path=../doc/fonts/simfang.ttf \
  --ocr_order_method="tb-yx"
```

The SER visualization results are saved in the `./output` folder by default. The results are as follows.

```

Use the following command to infer using VI-LayoutXLM RE model.


```bash
cd ppstructure
python3 kie/predict_kie_token_ser_re.py \
  --kie_algorithm=LayoutXLM \
  --re_model_dir=../inference/re_vi_layoutxlm_infer \
  --ser_model_dir=../inference/ser_vi_layoutxlm_infer \
  --use_visual_backbone=False \
  --image_dir=./docs/kie/input/zh_val_42.jpg \
  --ser_dict_path=../train_data/XFUND/class_list_xfun.txt \
  --vis_font_path=../doc/fonts/simfang.ttf \
  --ocr_order_method="tb-yx"
```

The RE visualization results are saved in the `./output` folder by default. The results are as follows.
