# Hugin-Munin handwritten text recognition
This model performs Handwritten Text Recognition in Norwegian. It was developed during the [HUGIN-MUNIN project](https://hugin-munin-project.github.io/).
## Model description
The model has been trained using the PyLaia library on the [NorHand](https://zenodo.org/record/6542056) document images.
Training images were resized with a fixed height of 128 pixels, keeping the original aspect ratio.
## Evaluation results
The model achieves the following results:
| set | CER (%) | WER (%) |
| ----- | ---------- | --------- |
| train | 2.17 | 7.65 |
| val | 8.78 | 24.93 |
| test | 7.94 | 24.04 |
Results improve on validation and test sets when PyLaia is combined with a 6-gram language model.
The language model is trained on [this text corpus](https://www.nb.no/sprakbanken/en/resource-catalogue/oai-nb-no-sbr-73/) published by the National Library of Norway.
| set | CER (%) | WER (%) |
| ----- | ---------- | --------- |
| train | 2.40 | 8.10 |
| val | 7.45 | 19.75 |
| test | 6.55 | 18.2 |
## How to use
Please refer to the PyLaia [library page](https://pypi.org/project/pylaia/) and [wiki](https://github.com/jpuigcerver/PyLaia/wiki/inference) to use this model.
