Model description
The model has been trained using the PyLaia library on the NewsEye / READ OCR training dataset from Austrian Newspapers (19th C.) dataset. Training images were resized with a fixed height of 128 pixels, keeping the original aspect ratio.
Evaluation results
The model achieves the following results:
| Split | CER (%) | WER (%) | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| train | 1.62 | 5.63 | 38891 |
| val | 1.82 | 7.77 | 3282 |
Results can be improved by combining PyLaia with a n-gram language model.
