Multimodal training set: 417 training examples, 50 test examples (text-region images and transcriptions).

How it was built

  • Images of Lingala text lines taken from the SIL Congo collection (printed documents and manuscripts), annotated as regions then transcribed.
  • 417 training examples (278 lines) and 50 test examples; the tokens ɔ ɛ Ɔ Ɛ were added to the model.
  • 1,323 unique validated transcriptions and 1,282 harmonised lines, kept outside the published training set.
