Document OCR using dots.ocr

This dataset contains OCR results from images in NationalLibraryOfScotland/Britain-and-UK-Handbooks-Dataset using DoTS.ocr, a compact 1.7B multilingual model.

Processing Details

Configuration

  • Image Column: image
  • Output Column: markdown
  • Dataset Split: train
  • Batch Size: 256
  • Prompt Mode: ocr
  • Max Model Length: 8,192 tokens
  • Max Output Tokens: 8,192
  • GPU Memory Utilization: 80.0%

Model Information

DoTS.ocr is a compact multilingual document parsing model that excels at:

  • 🌍 100+ Languages - Multilingual document support
  • 📊 Table extraction - Structured data recognition
  • 📐 Formulas - Mathematical notation preservation
  • 📝 Layout-aware - Reading order and structure preservation
  • 🎯 Compact - Only 1.7B parameters

Dataset Structure

The dataset contains all original columns plus:

  • markdown: The extracted text in markdown format
  • inference_info: JSON list tracking all OCR models applied to this dataset

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
import json

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("{output_dataset_id}", split="train")

# Access the markdown text
for example in dataset:
    print(example["markdown"])
    break

# View all OCR models applied to this dataset
inference_info = json.loads(dataset[0]["inference_info"])
for info in inference_info:
    print(f"Column: {info['column_name']} - Model: {info['model_id']}")
