# PyLaia - POPP

This model performs Handwritten Text Recognition in French on French census documents.

## Model description

The model was trained using the PyLaia library on the [POPP generic](https://github.com/Shulk97/POPP-datasets/) dataset.

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

| set   | lines   | 
| :-----| ------: | 
| train |  3,835  |
| val   |    480  |
| test  |    479  |

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

## Evaluation results

The model achieves the following results:

| set   | Language model | CER (%)    | WER (%) | lines   |
|:------|:---------------| ----------:| -------:|--------:|
| test  | no             | 16.49      |   36.26 |   479   |
| test  | yes            | 16.09      |   34.52 |   479   |

## How to use?

Please refer to the [PyLaia documentation](https://atr.pages.teklia.com/pylaia/usage/prediction/) to use this model.
