Labs

The LABS (laboratories) are a low-threshold and flexible instrument that facilitates networking between within IMAFO and within the AAS. This initiative offers considerable scope, especially for younger researchers with external funding, to test new formats or methods in smaller pilot studies, to explore topics of common interest from a diachronic or transregional perspective, or to prepare joint project proposals for seed funding.

ScribbleSense and Trends in Handwriting Recognition

Online Digital IMAFO Lecture | by Michal Hradiš

 

This talk introduces ScribbleSense, a text transcription and correction tool developed from PERO OCR. Michal Hradiš will present its basic workflow, the project’s data privacy policy, model fine-tuning and attribution, and selected case studies on various types of historical documents, highlighting the strengths and limitations of the underlying recognition methods. Hradiš will also briefly discuss current trends in handwriting recognition and document understanding, with a focus on end-to-end large visual–language models and their respective strengths and limitations.
