About

This is a TrOCR model for medieval Cursiva. The base model was microsoft/trocr-base-handwritten. The model was then finetuned to Caroline: medieval-data/trocr-medieval-latin-caroline. From a saved checkpoint, the model was further finetuned to Cursiva.

The dataset used for training was CATMuS.

The model has not been formally tested. Preliminary examination indicates that further finetuning is needed.

Finetuning was done with finetune.py found in this repository.

Usage 

from transformers import TrOCRProcessor, VisionEncoderDecoderModel
from PIL import Image
import requests

# load image from the IAM database
https://huggingface.co/medieval-data/trocr-medieval-cursiva/resolve/main/images/cursiva-1.png
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw).convert("RGB")

processor = TrOCRProcessor.from_pretrained('medieval-data/trocr-medieval-cursiva')
model = VisionEncoderDecoderModel.from_pretrained('medieval-data/trocr-medieval-cursiva')
pixel_values = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt").pixel_values

generated_ids = model.generate(pixel_values)
generated_text = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
