Is any one working on a deep neural net implementation?

[Debayan Banerjee]

Hi,

I am contemplating porting the classifier to a deep neural net, probably https://github.com/BVLC/caffe. Anyone already working on this?

This should allow Tesseract to recognise some of the more complicated scripts as well (Indic, Arabic, Chinese).

Hi Debayan,

Tesseract does have a neural net implementation, called 'cube', and
it is used for Arabic and a few other scripts.

That said, it is now easier to add different classifier systems to
Tesseract; see some of the slides and code from Ray's recent talks:

So by all means have a go and see if you can do better than cube!
Also there are no training tools available for cube, which is a
pain, so a neural net implementation that included them would be a
good thing to have.

Nick,

Can you point me to a tif/box pair file for english data so I can start working on this?

Ok I got it https://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/files/boxtiff-2.01.eng.tar.gz

Are you making any progress with this?

[Debayan Banerjee]

Actually, no. I ended up not spending much time on it.
