Image2latex usually means converts mathematical formulas in images into latex markup. It is a very challenging job due to the complex two-dimensional structure, variant scales of input, and very long representation sequence. Many researchers use encoder-decoder based model to solve this task and achieved good results. However, these methods don't make full use of the structure and position information of the formula. %In this paper, we improve the encoder by employing Global Context block and Transformer. To solve this problem, we propose a global context-based network with transformer that can (1) learn a more powerful and robust intermediate representation via aggregating global features and (2) encode position information explicitly and (3) learn latent dependencies between symbols by using self-attention mechanism. The experimental results on the dataset IM2LATEX-100K demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
