# Swedish OCR Correction

This model is an updated version of https://huggingface.co/viklofg/swedish-ocr-correction

The model has been trained to correct OCR predictions by Abbyy, Tesseract, and a combination of those on newspaper from 1818-2018 (see [A Two-OCR Engine Method for Digitized Swedish Newspapers](https://ecp.ep.liu.se/index.php/clarin/article/view/8) ).

Please check the [original model](https://huggingface.co/viklofg/swedish-ocr-correction) for more information.

This new model has been trained much longer and manages to outperform the previous one using the same train-test split.
