# ICDAR2013 Table Competition Corrected

This dataset is originally from the ICDAR 2013 Table Competition, but with manual corrections made to the annotations in 2023.

## About the original dataset

The original dataset was released as part of the ICDAR 2013 Table Competition.

It can be downloaded [here](https://roundtrippdf.com/en/downloads/) but as of August 2023 accessing the files returns a 403 Forbidden error.

### Original license

There is no known license for the original dataset, but the data is commonly referred to as "public", and so we interpret this to mean there are no license restrictions on the original data.

According to [this website](https://roundtrippdf.com/en/data-extraction/pdf-table-recognition-dataset/) from Tamir Hassan (as of August 2023): "These documents have been collected systematically from the European Union and US Government websites, and we therefore expect them to have public domain status."

Associated [code](https://github.com/tamirhassan/dataset-tools) for the data for the 2013 competition carries an Apache-2.0 license.

## About the corrected dataset
