Transkription of old handwriting names and dates

Hello Teklia team, I am studying AI at the University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil. For my thesis, I have chosen to translate handwritten, single-line names (first name and surname) and dates of birth from the period 1900–1950. The handwriting is from many different people and varies considerably. I would like to use the PyLaia framework locally on my PC with GPU for this project. Unfortunately, I cannot find any specific version information for the necessary packages in the documentation. Could you please let me know which versions of Python, PyTorch, PyLaia, Cuda, etc. work in an environment for error-free use of PyLaia for fine-tuning with my labels to achieve low CER and WER values in transcription in testing and validation? Is there any documentation, matching the image in the attachment, where the pipeline for training and prediction is described in detail and possibly illustrated with an example? I would appreciate a reply. Kind regards, Jörg Purkhart

Hi Joerg,

the python and pytorch version are displayed on the gitlab repository

For PyLaia installation, follow the documentation : pip install pylaia

For Cuda, it depends on your machine, follow pytorch documentation.

Best regards,
