On OCR ground truths and OCR post-correction gold standards, tools and formats
Martin Reynaert · 2014
We give an overview of activities undertaken in the sidelines of our automatic OCR post-correction core business over the past few years. We present ongoing projects in the Netherlands in which Text-Induced Corpus Clean-up plays a part. We describe the infrastructure we are building to help improve the overall text quality of large digitized text collections. We provide information on the tools we develop to facilitate the process and discuss the role of FoLiA XML which we adopted as a pivot format. Connecting the dots, we discuss the difference we perceive between OCR ground truths and OCR post-correction gold standards and their respective contributions.
