46
+ ---
47
+ 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.

49
+ - **Total Documents**: 957
50
+ - **Training Set**: 765
51
+ - **Validation Set**: 95
52
+ - **Test Set**: 97
53
+
54
+ ## Purpose
55
+ 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.
56
+
57
+ ## Structure
58
+ The dataset is organized as follows:

+ - **Content** [#.txt]
79
+ - **1st line**: "[OCR_toInput] " => Raw OCRed text to be denoised.
80
+ - **2nd line**: "[OCR_aligned] " => Aligned OCRed text.
81
+ - **3rd line**: "[GS_aligned] " => Aligned Gold Standard.
82
+
83
+ 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.
84
+ For a better view of the alignment, make sure to disable the "word wrap" option in your text editor.
