ADE DPT-2: A Major Step Forward in Document Intelligence

Last week, we introduced Document Pre-trained Transformer 2 (DPT-2) — the latest upgrade powering Agentic Document Extraction (ADE).

Here’s a quick look at what’s new, and why it matters for real-world document processing.

ADE DPT-2 combines structured deep learning models with agentic workflows to handle some of the toughest document challenges with higher accuracy and trust. Complex tables, skewed scans, and embedded visual elements like signatures, stamps, and QR codes are now parsed with unprecedented fidelity and grounding.

Andrew Ng walks through real-world examples of ADE DPT-2 in action — from parsing 1,000+ cell tables to extracting patient results from lab reports — so you can see exactly how this upgrade changes what’s possible.

Core Features of ADE DPT-2

• Agentic Table Captioning Parse large, no-gridline, and merged-cell tables with full cell-level grounding. Every row and value is preserved and traceable back to source.
• Refined Figure Captioning Figures, seals, and logos are identified concisely and precisely, eliminating verbose or noisy outputs.
• Smarter Layout Detection Messy scans no longer break parsing. Stamps and marks inside tables are detected and processed separately — critical for compliance workflows.
• Expanded Ontology Beyond text and tables, ADE DPT-2 recognizes signatures, ID cards, barcodes, QR codes, and more, classifying every element consistently.

Availability

ADE DPT-2 is now in preview. You can try it directly in the ADE Playground or access it via the ADE APIs.

In addition, ADE’s Parse and Extract APIs have been decoupled, making it easier to parse documents once and then run multiple field extraction passes without reprocessing. Together with recent speed gains, ADE can now process hundreds to thousands of pages per minute while maintaining layout awareness and visual grounding.

For teams in finance, healthcare, insurance, and compliance, these updates reduce costly manual review while maintaining accuracy, traceability, and auditability.
