PiotrSty/trocr-pl-mixed-v1 (experimental)

Fine-tune of PiotrSty/trocr-pl-base on synthetic Polish print + real EHRI typewritten Polish lines (CC-BY 4.0, ehri-pl-lines).

Training

  • Base: PiotrSty/trocr-pl-base
  • Method: QLoRA, decoder attn q/k/v/out_proj, rank 16, alpha 32
  • Train: 2000 synthetic + 349 real EHRI lines (3 docs)
  • Val: 38 EHRI lines (held-out doc ZIH3010905)
  • Epochs: 5, batch 8, lr 2e-4, T4 x2
  • Best checkpoint: checkpoint-735 (val CER 0.3351)
  • Document-level split, no line leakage.

Evaluation on frozen held-out sets

Model EHRI test (81, typewriter) real-lines-v1 (75, print)
trocr-pl-base (run2) CER 47.30% / WER 90.82% CER 11.11% / WER 35.84%
trocr-pl-mixed-v1 (run3) CER 33.95% / WER 85.69% CER 7.09% / WER 29.44%

Mixed fine-tuning improved BOTH domains (typewriter -28% CER, print -36% CER).

Limitations

  • Typewriter WER still ~86%; word-level weak.
  • Only 349 real typewritten lines; more data should help.
  • Page segmentation on faded typewriter is unreliable; this is a line recognizer.
  • Do NOT use as drop-in replacement for trocr-pl-base without your own eval.
