Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Leveraging GPT-4 for PDF Data Extraction: A Comprehensive Guide

What is the best repo for hand written text recognition?
My default recommendation for OCR is https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR but most of the examples there are not handwritten - so I'm not sure how well it'll handle it this time.
-
Ask HN: Best way to perform complex OCR task in 2023?
Other than EasyOCR and Tesseract, PaddleOCR (https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR) is probably the most well known open-source OCR solution.
What are you planning to do with the text after detecting / recognizing it? How fast does the detection / recognition need to be in order to be useful?

Show HN: BetterOCR combines and corrects multiple OCR engines with an LLM
Yup! But I'm still exploring options. (any recommendations would be welcomed!) Here are some candidates I'm considering:
- https://github.com/mindee/doctr
- https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmocr
- https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR (honestly I don't know Mandarin so I'm a bit stuck)
- https://github.com/clovaai/donut - While it's primarily an "OCR-free document understanding transformer," I think it's worth experimenting with. Think I can sort this out by letting the LLM reason through it multiple times (although this will impact performance)
- yesterday got a suggestion to consider https://github.com/kakaobrain/pororo - I don't think development is still active but the results are pretty great on Korean text

How would you go about driving contextual data from images?
For images with text, if you want to do visual qa, document classification, table/key information extraction, checkout https://huggingface.co/blog/document-ai https://github.com/philschmid/document-ai-transformers https://github.com/google-research/pix2struct https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/release/2.6/ppstructure/README.md

OCR at Edge on Cloudflare Constellation
EasyOCR is a popular project if you are in an environment where you can use run Python and PyTorch (https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR). Other open source projects of note are PaddleOCR (https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR) and docTR (https://github.com/mindee/doctr).

Seeking Advice for Improving OCR Accuracy in a Code Snippet Reader Project
I think you can train tesseract with custom data if you have enough, or you can use deep learning models like https://pyimagesearch.com/2020/08/17/ocr-with-keras-tensorflow-and-deep-learning or https://www.google.com/amp/s/nanonets.com/blog/attention-ocr-for-text-recogntion/amp/ or try other existing tools like paddle-ocr https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR

How do you parse tables in PDF with langchain? Especially, the context which is few lines above and below the table.
https://huggingface.co/blog/document-ai https://github.com/microsoft/table-transformer https://github.com/google-research/pix2struct https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/release/2.6/ppstructure/table/README.md

unable to install paddleocr on m1 mac
when following the installation commands present in the paddleocr repo(https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/release/2.6/doc/doc_en/quickstart_en.md) im still unable to install paddleocr. paddlepaddle is successfully installed on my m1 mac with python3.9.16 but while installing paddleocr im getting this error after long pip backtracking

Donut: OCR-Free Document Understanding Transformer
When I was evaluating options a few months ago I found https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR to be a very strong contender for my use case (reading product labels), but you'll definitely want to put together some representative docs/images and test a bunch of solutions to see what works for you.

Ask HN: Why are all OCR outputs so raw?
maybe this is better? https://github.com/clovaai/donut
I'm not sure

New to ML, looking for some GPU and learning material info
I am also interested in experimenting with something like DONUT (https://github.com/clovaai/donut) but I have never seen anything on what the VRAM expectations are for something like this. Does anyone know also if there are any newer better models than this for document parsing as well? Or what the VRAM requirements for something like this tend to be?

[D] Is there a good ai model for image-to-text where the images are diagrams and screenshots of interfaces?
Here are a few useful resources you could start with: [Pix2Struct by Google Research](https://github.com/google-research/pix2struct) might be a valuable tool, although it will most likely need some fine-tuning to fit your specifics. You can also find some fine-tuned models on HuggingFace by searching 'pix2struct'. Another option worth considering is [DonutI](https://github.com/clovaai/donut). Like Pix2Struct, fine-tuning likely needed to meet your requirements. Tesseract OCR is another alternative, particularly for handling text. It's primarily designed for pages of text, think books, but with some tweaking and specific flags, it can process tables as well as text chunks in regions of a screenshot. Bit too much tweaking for my taste. As I'm also in search of OCR tools for UI and chart screenshots, so share if you find something else.
