In this paper, we explore the impact of OCR errors on the identification of topics from a corpus comprising text from historical OCRed documents. ...
Based on experiments performed on OCR text corpora, we observe that OCR noise negatively impacts the stability and coherence of topics generated by topic modeling algorithms and we quantify the strength ...
In the latter, documents may be strongly associated with a given topic in one run, but may be more closely associated with an alternative topic in another run [14] . ...

Blur detection on every word before segmentation is also substituted with a new word by our OCR algorithm to avoid false positive results and are instead substituted with suitable words. ...
Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) can become progressively abysmal when the documents are damaged with smudges, blemishes and blurs. Recognition of such documents is a challenging task. ...
Table I . compares the mean text similarity for these documents with text recognized by HTR, the recognized text then corrected with word substitutions and the text recognized using state-of-the-art Google ...

We propose a novel approach to OCR post-correction that exploits repeated texts in large corpora both as a source of noisy target outputs for unsupervised training and as a source of evidence when decoding ...
A sequence-to-sequence model with attention is applied for single-input correction, and a new decoder with multi-input attention averaging is developed to search for consensus among multiple sequences. ...
