# PyLaia - RIMES |
|
|
|
This model performs Handwritten Text Recognition in French. |
|
|
|
## Model description |
|
|
|
The model has been trained using the PyLaia library on the [RIMES](https://teklia.com/research/rimes-database/) dataset. |
|
|
|
Training images were resized with a fixed height of 128 pixels, keeping the original aspect ratio. |

|
| test | 778 | |
|
|
|
An external 6-gram character language model can be used to improve recognition. The language model is trained on the text from the RIMES training set. |
|
|
