Vintext is a challenging scene text dataset for Vietnamese, where some characters are equivocal in the visual form due to accent symbols.
This dataset contains 2000 fully annotated images with 56,084 text instances. Each text instance is delineated by a quadrilateral bounding box and associated with the ground truth sequence of characters.
The dataset is randomly split into three subsets for training (1,200 images), validation (300 images), and testing (500 images).

## Dataset Usage
### Using `datasets` library
```
from datasets import load_dataset
dset = datasets.load_dataset("SEACrowd/vintext", trust_remote_code=True)
```
### Using `seacrowd` library
```import seacrowd as sc
# Load the dataset using the default config
dset = sc.load_dataset("vintext", schema="seacrowd")
# Check all available subsets (config names) of the dataset
print(sc.available_config_names("vintext"))
# Load the dataset using a specific config
dset = sc.load_dataset_by_config_name(config_name="<config_name>")
```
