Entity-Aware Evaluation of OCR Systems for Historical Document Transcription

arXiv:2610.33004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is essential for digitizing historical archives, yet standard evaluation metrics such as Character Error Rate (CER) do not necessarily reflect whether meaningful information, such as names, dates, and identifiers, is preserved. In this work, we investigate entitylevel analysis of OCR errors as a complementary perspective for evaluating OCR quality in historical documents. Using a publicly available benchmark of 175 documents from the Berrutti Archive, augmented with 5,209 manually annotated entity mentions that will be released upon acceptance, we compare sequence-recognition OCR systems, OCR-specialized vision-language models, and general-purpose vision-language models.

Optimizing Streaming Speech Recognition on Arm® Edge Devices with ExecuTorch

When you’re speaking to a device, you expect text to appear as you talk. That makes streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR) a different challenge from batch transcription, where the model...

Extending the Context Length to 1M Tokens!

API Documentation (Chinese) HuggingFace Demo ModelScope Demo Introduction After the release of Qwen2.5, we heard the community’s demand for processing longer contexts. In recent months, we have made many optimizations for the model capabilities and inference performance of extremely long context. Today, we are proud to introduce the new Qwen2.5-Turbo version, which features: Longer Context Support: We have extended the model’s context length from 128k to 1M, which is approximately 1 million English words or 1.

Qwen2-Audio: Chat with Your Voice!

DEMO PAPER GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DISCORD To achieve the objective of building an AGI system, the model should be capable of understanding information from different modalities. Thanks to the rapid development of large language models, LLMs are now capable of understanding language and reasoning. Previously we have taken a step forward to extend our LLM, i.e., Qwen, to more modalities, including vision and audio, and built Qwen-VL and Qwen-Audio. Today, we release Qwen2-Audio, the next version of Qwen-Audio, which is capable of accepting audio and text inputs and generating text outputs.
