A collection of rich historical Arabic text, spanning different geographies across centuries, is present in this dataset. Experts have meticulously transcribed forty historical pages, each five from a distinct book, providing the textual ground truth for each image.
No data as such has been made available publicly previously, up to our knowledge. This intends to contribute to deep learning OCR modeling and testing by practitioners and researchers interested in Arabic OCR and… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/sherif1313/Historical-Arabic-Handwritten-OCR.arabic-ocrarocrbench_arabicocrPlease see paper & code for more information:
