English handwritten text recognition

This model performs Handwritten Text Recognition in English.

Model description

The model has been trained using the PyLaia library on the IAM 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	0.32	1.26	6482
val	6.50	19.12	1926
test	7.68	19.82	1965

A similar model was trained on the RWTH split, corresponding to the results published in Key-value information extraction from full handwritten pages.

Results can be improved by combining PyLaia with a n-gram language model.

How to use

Please refer to the documentation.
