Qwen trade-offs for a document intelligence pipeline
Senior trade-off question: quick prompt-plus-regex Qwen2.5-VL extraction versus a refactored document pipeline with structured decoding, LoRA tuning, validation, and human review.
Quick answer
Option A ships in days and handles common layouts, but regex patches pile up, errors are silent, and you cannot measure field-level accuracy well. Option B costs more upfront but gives schema-valid output, per-field confidence, measurable accuracy, and a review loop that produces training data. I would do a thin version of A immediately with JSON-schema constrained output and validation, then build B incrementally over two quarters, prioritizing the document types and fields that cause the most downstream errors.
The interview question
Your document intelligence pipeline extracts fields (vendor, dates, line items, totals) from invoices and contracts using a Qwen model. Option A is a quick fix: send page images to Qwen2.5-VL with a long prompt and patch errors with regex post-processing. Option B is a platform refactor: layout-aware parsing, schema-constrained decoding, a LoRA-tuned Qwen model, validation rules, and a human-review queue. Compare the trade-offs and recommend a plan for the next two quarters.
