Topic of the Workshop

This workshop will address the challenges and opportunities in developing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems for Indian languages, encompassing printed documents, handwritten manuscripts, and scene text. The diversity of scripts, writing styles, and document formats in India presents unique research problems that require innovative approaches. The workshop will present recent advances, datasets, tools, and applications, while also identifying open challenges and future research directions. Robust multilingual OCR is central to ongoing digitization efforts in governance, education, and industry, and is a critical enabler for the broader success of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) in the Indian context. - you can add this in the home page.
