POPP handwritten text recognition

This model performs Handwritten Text Recognition on French census documents.

Model description

The model was trained using the PyLaia library on the POPP generic.

For training, text-lines were resized with a fixed height of 128 pixels, keeping the original aspect ratio.

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.

The model achieves the following results:

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