What is byt5-base-dutch-ocr-correction?
This is a specialized AI model designed to correct OCR (Optical Character Recognition) errors in Dutch text. Built upon Google's ByT5-base architecture, it has been fine-tuned specifically on the Dutch section of the OSCAR dataset to recognize and fix common OCR mistakes in Dutch text documents.
Implementation Details
The model leverages the T5ForConditionalGeneration architecture and operates at the byte-level, making it particularly effective at handling character-level corrections. It processes input text through a specialized tokenizer and generates corrected output, capable of handling sequences up to 128 tokens in length.
