Datasets:
Improve dataset card: Add task categories, tags, paper link, and GitHub link
Browse filesThis PR enhances the dataset card by:
- Adding `task_categories: ['object-detection']` to the metadata, as form field detection is an object detection task.
- Adding relevant `tags` such as `document-intelligence`, `form-field-detection`, `pdf`, and `multilingual` for better discoverability and context.
- Providing a link to the paper ([CommonForms: A Large, Diverse Dataset for Form Field Detection](https://huggingface.co/papers/2509.16506)) for easy access to the research.
- Including a link to the GitHub repository ([https://github.com/jbarrow/commonforms](https://github.com/jbarrow/commonforms)) for the associated code.
- Adding a comprehensive description of the dataset based on the paper abstract.

# CommonForms: A Large, Diverse Dataset for Form Field Detection
|
| 13 |
+
|
| 14 |
+
This repository hosts the **CommonForms** dataset, a web-scale dataset for form field detection, introduced in the paper [CommonForms: A Large, Diverse Dataset for Form Field Detection](https://huggingface.co/papers/2509.16506).
|
| 15 |
+
|
| 16 |
+
CommonForms casts the problem of form field detection as object detection: given an image of a page, predict the location and type (Text Input, Choice Button, Signature) of form fields.
|
| 17 |
+
|
| 18 |
+
**Key Features:**
|
| 19 |
+
* **Scale:** Roughly 55,000 documents comprising over 450,000 pages.
|
| 20 |
+
* **Source:** Constructed by filtering Common Crawl to find PDFs with fillable elements.
|
| 21 |
+
* **Diversity:** Contains a diverse mixture of languages (one third non-English) and domains, with no single domain making up more than 25% of the dataset.
|
| 22 |
+
* **Purpose:** The first large-scale dataset released for form field detection, aimed at fostering the development of robust form field detectors.
