The Right Information Extraction Pipeline Depends on the Document: Accuracy-Energy Trade-offs for Small, Local Models
Whether an information extraction pipeline should process page images or parsed text depends on the document, and the answer flips across the layout spectrum. We study this trade-off under a constraint that rules out (closed) cloud services: privacy-sensitive documents processed on-premise by small ($\le 8\mathrm{B}$ parameter) text-only and vision--language models, evaluated on both accuracy and…
