During the last decades, OCR engines have been constantly improving and are today able to return exploitable results on mainstream documents. But in practice, digital libraries have on shelves many transcriptions with a quality below expectation. In fact, ancient documents with challenging layouts and various levels of conservation such as historical newspapers still resist to modern OCRs. Moreover, formerly digitized resources processed with out-dated OCRs are rarely re-sent through the latest state-of-the-art digitization pipeline, as priority is often given to the ever-growing masses of new arriving documents. In this context, OCR post-correction approaches, either used on former digitized documents or on fresh challenging documents, could strongly benefit digital libraries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Important dates :<br \/>\nTraining dataset is available: End-February, 2017 \/ early March<br \/>\nRegistration deadline: March 30, 2017<br \/>\nEvaluation dataset is available: Early June<br \/>\nResult submission: June 15, 2017<br \/>\nConference: November 10-15, 2017<\/p>\n<p>For further information, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/icdar2017-postcorrectionocr\/home\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=es&amp;q=https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/icdar2017-postcorrectionocr\/home&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1488369121347000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGNzGVqtQ9diXE6eupCea_pBmhQZA\"><span style=\"font-family: sans-serif; font-size: small;\">https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/<wbr \/>icdar2017-postcorrectionocr\/<wbr \/>home<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 The IMPACT Centre Board member Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France and L3i research lab (University of La Rochelle) are proud to announce that their competition on Post-OCR Text Correction has been accepted by ICDAR 2017 conference\u00a0(Kyoto, November 10-15).
