# PyLaia - CASIA-HWDB2

This model performs Handwritten Text Recognition in Chinese.

## Model description

The model was trained using the PyLaia library on the [CASIA-HWDB2](http://www.nlpr.ia.ac.cn/databases/handwriting/Offline_database.html) document images.

Training images were resized with a fixed height of 128 pixels, keeping the original aspect ratio.

| split | N lines | 
| ----- | ------: | 
| train | 33,425  |
| val   |  8,325  |
| test  | 10,449  |

An external 6-gram character language model can be used to improve recognition. The language model is trained on the text from the CASIA-HWDB2 training set.

## Evaluation results

The model achieves the following results:

| set   | Language model | CER (%)    | N lines   |
|:------|:---------------| ----------:|----------:|
| test  | no             | 4.61       | 10,449    |
| test  | yes            | 1.53       | 10,449    |
