PiotrSty/trocr-pl-mixed-aug-light-v1 (experimental)

Fine-tune of PiotrSty/trocr-pl-base on synthetic Polish print + real EHRI typewritten Polish lines + 3× light-augmented EHRI train lines. run 6 used medium augmentations (5×) which improved typewriter but regressed print (5.36% → 7.37%). This run uses light strength (blur+noise only, no gamma/JPEG/contrast) with 3× copies to test if gentler augmentations avoid the print regression while keeping the typewriter gain.

Training

  • Base: PiotrSty/trocr-pl-base
  • Method: QLoRA on decoder attention (q/k/v/out_proj), rank 16, alpha 32
  • Train: 2000 synthetic + 349 real EHRI + 698 light-augmented EHRI = 3047 lines
  • Val: 38 EHRI lines (held-out doc ZIH3010905, not augmented)
  • Epochs: 15, batch 8, lr 1e-4, T4 x2
  • Best checkpoint: /kaggle/working/trocr-pl-run7/checkpoint-1410 (val CER 0.2777, WER 0.6456)
  • Document-level split, no line leakage. Light augmentations only on train.

Evaluation on frozen held-out sets

Model EHRI test (81, typewriter) real-lines-v1 (75, print)
trocr-pl-base (run2) CER 47.30% / WER 90.82% CER 11.11% / WER 35.84%
trocr-pl-mixed-v3 (run5, 30 ep) CER 29.74% / WER 74.96% CER 5.36% / WER 22.88%
trocr-pl-mixed-aug-v1 (run6, 15 ep + medium aug 5×) CER 27.30% / WER 69.83% CER 7.37% / WER 26.72%
trocr-pl-mixed-aug-light-v1 (run7, 15 ep + light aug 3×) (fill from eval cell) (fill from eval cell)

Limitations

  • Line recognizer only; page segmentation on faded typewriter is unreliable.
  • Augmentations are synthetic; real data diversity still matters.
  • Do NOT use as drop-in replacement without your own eval.
