This dataset is a filtered version of the ICDAR2017 Competition on Handwritten Text Recognition, focusing on monograph texts written between 1800 and 1900. It consists of a total of 957 documents, divided into training, validation, and testing sets, and is designed for post-correction of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) text.
- Total Documents: 957
- Training Set: 765
- Validation Set: 95
- Test Set: 97
Purpose
The dataset aims to improve the accuracy of digitized texts by providing a reliable Gold Standard (GS) for comparison and correction, specifically addressing the challenges of older texts.
Structure
The dataset is organized as follows:
dataset/
├── train/
│ ├── file1.txt
│ ├── file2.txt
│ └── ...
├── dev/
│ ├── file1.txt
│ ├── file2.txt
│ └── ...

└── metadata.csv # This file contains metadata for each txt file
- Content [#.txt]
- 1st line: "[OCR_toInput] " => Raw OCRed text to be denoised.
- 2nd line: "[OCR_aligned] " => Aligned OCRed text.
- 3rd line: "[GS_aligned] " => Aligned Gold Standard.
The alignment was made at the character level using "@" symbols. "#" symbols correspond to the absence of GS either related to alignment uncertainities or related to unreadable characters in the source document. For a better view of the alignment, make sure to disable the "word wrap" option in your text editor.
