M3DocDep: Multi-modal, Multi-page, Multi-document Dependency Chunking with Large Vision-Language Models

In long, multi-page industrial documents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) depends heavily on whether chunk boundaries follow the document's true structure. Existing text-centric chunkers and generative hierarchy parsers often miss cross-page parent-child relations, figure/table-caption bindings, and boundary cues, which leads to fragmented or redundant chunks and degrades both retrieval and answer quality. We propose M3DocDep, an LVLM-based pipeline that first recovers block-level dependencies and then constructs chunks along the recovered document tree. The pipeline uses SharedDet as a common DP+OCR preprocessing layer, extracts multimodal block embeddings with boundary-aware SoftROI pooling, scores candidate parent-child edges with a biaffine head, decodes a globally valid dependency tree with MST constraints, and builds tree-guided chunks annotated with section paths and page ranges. Under a shared-block evaluation protocol, M3DocDep improves STEDS by +28.5 to +39.6 percent on DHP benchmarks, retrieval nDCG by +1.1 to +15.3 percent, and QA ANLS by +4.5 to +15.3 percent on corpus-level RAG benchmarks. These results show that recovering document dependencies before chunking yields more coherent retrieval units for long, multi-page multimodal documents.
