Question about use custom text as input Parse-Then-Place

[ruick]

Thank you very much for your work!
May I ask if it is possible to use custom text as input for LayoutPromoter and Parse-Then-Place? It seems that the input must contain ir and elements, and I can only call inputs from the existing test.json file. Is there a way to input custom text directly?

Hi @ruick,

We are pleased to share with you that it's possible to use custom text for Parse-Then-Place. Specifically, there are totally 4 steps that you can follow to accomplish this.

1. Adapt the eval_split name in the script, maybe something like mydata.
2. Create a new json file in the folder Parse-Then-Place/data/$dataset/stage2/finetune/mydata.json according to the split name you specified in step 1.
3. Construct the sample based on your custom text in mydata.json. Below is an example:

[
    {
      "text": "a page for end user license agreement. on the top, there is a toolbar with a text button for the back on the left and a text in the middle. below is a text button for the end user license agreement. in the middle, there is a text occupying most of the page.",
      "region_id": "",
      "region_type": "",
      "ir": "[region:SingleInfo]",
      "execution": "",
      "layout_seq_with_completion": "",
      "layout_seq_without_completion": "",
      "plain_layout_seq": "",
      "canvas_width": 1440,
      "canvas_height": 2560
    }
]

4. Test on your custom text using the same command in README! And please check your result in the folder tmp/output/$dataset/stage1/mydata_predictions.json.
