Polish Press Pages OCR Dataset 100

A small public image-only OCR dataset containing 100 Polish-language press / magazine-style page images sampled from a multilingual document collection.

This dataset is designed as a lightweight evaluation sample for:

• —OCR models
• —VLM-based document understanding
• —testing OCR robustness on Polish multi-column and press-style layouts

Contents

• —100 JPG images
• —Polish-language page images
• —press / magazine-style layouts, including:
• —article pages
• —multi-column text layouts
• —pages with embedded images
• —pages with side blocks and highlighted sections
• —advertisement-style pages
• —editorial / magazine-like compositions

What is NOT included

• —ground-truth transcriptions
• —OCR outputs
• —benchmark scores
• —dataset splits

Purpose

This is not a full benchmark.

It is a compact dataset sample intended for:

• —testing OCR robustness on Polish press-style pages
• —quick OCR sanity checks
• —evaluating performance on non-trivial reading-order layouts
• —checking how models handle mixed typography and page composition
