Abstract
Current methods for document key information extraction (DKIE) rely heavily on labeled data with high annotation costs. To mitigate this issue, the semi-supervised learning (SSL) paradigm, which utilizes unlabeled document samples, has gained broad attention in DKIE. However, existing SSL methods require labeled and unlabeled data to share an identical label space, which is impractical in many DKIE tasks (i.e., some unlabeled samples do not belong to any known classes in the labeled set). In this paper, we formulate this problem as Class-Missing Semi-supervised (CMSS) DKIE. In DKIE, unknown classes usually belong to minority and fine-grained categories, intensifying the misconnections between known and unknown classes and making CMSS more challenging. To address this issue, we propose Synergistic Refinement Estimation (SRE), a progressive prototype estimation scheme that alleviates the unknown classes bias to the majority known classes on long-tailed unlabeled data. Furthermore, dynamic threshold hash rectification and structural calibration mechanisms are proposed to correct connections between fine-grained classes. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that SRE surpasses existing state-of-the-art methods on several DKIE benchmarks. Code is available at https://github.com/anonymoulink/SRE_DKIE .

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
