**TAT-DQA** is a large-scale Document VQA dataset, which is constructed by extending the TAT-QA. It aims to stimulate the progress of QA research over more complex and realistic **visually-rich documents** with rich tabular and textual content, especially those requiring numerical reasoning.

The unique features of TAT-DQA include:

- The documents in TAT-DQA dataset are sampled from real-world high-quality financial reports and each document contains both tabular and textual data;
- The average number of words of each document in TAT-DQA is around 550, which is significantly larger than all existing Document VQA datasets.
- Around 85% of the documents in the dataset have only one page while 15% has multiple pages.
- Similar to TAT-QA, the answer forms are diverse, including single span, multiple spans and free-form and various numerical reasoning capabilities are usually required, including addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (x), division (/), counting, comparison, sorting, and their compositions;


In total, TAT-DQA contains 16,558 questions associated with 2,758 documents ( 3,067 document pages ) sampled from real-world financial reports.
