| # 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. | |
