FIT researchers succeeded in a historical document analysis competition

FIT researchers won in three tasks within the competition on historical document classification. They received the award at the ICDAR 2021 international conference held in Lausanne, Switzerland, last week. The Graph@FIT group researchers and doctoral students achieved the best results in analysing manuscripts, letters or documents provided to the organisers by various institutions. Using their neural network trained based on available data, they managed to recognise a font group, location and date - this enabled the FIT researchers receive awards for winning in all three classification tasks at the International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition.
