Description
This poster presents the collaborative creation of a dataset of 100.000+ pages of handwritten police reports as a successful example of large-scale digitisation initiatives by small-scale research projects. It shows efficient solutions for applying Handwritten Text Recognition techniques on challenging historical documents and for bypassing noisy training material.
