# PyLaia - NorHand v1 (post-processed)
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 v1](https://zenodo.org/record/6542056) dataset.
Line bounding boxes were improved using a post-processing step.
Training images were resized with a fixed height of 128 pixels, keeping the original aspect ratio.
An external 6-gram character language model can be used to improve recognition. 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.
## Evaluation results
The model achieves the following results:
| set | Language model | CER (%) | WER (%) |
|:----- |:-------------- | -------:| -------:|
| train | no | 2.33 | 5.62 |
| train | yes | 2.62 | 6.13 |
| val | no | 8.20 | 24.75 |
| val | yes | 7.01 | 19.75 |
| test | no | 7.81 | 23.30 |
| test | yes | 6.75 | 18.22 |
## How to use?
Please refer to the [PyLaia documentation](https://atr.pages.teklia.com/pylaia/usage/prediction/) to use this model.
