Tibetan cursive (Drutsa)

Free Public AI Model for Handwritten Text Recognition with Transkribus

Tibetan cursive (Drutsa)

This model is tailored towards transcribing the handwritten Tibetan cursive script known
as Drutsa (’bru tsha). It was created in the framework of the ERC project The Dawn of Tibetan Buddhist Scholasticism (11th-13th c.) (TibSchol) and was released by Rachael Griffiths (rachaelgriffiths1@gmail.com).

For best results, apply this model after running the “Tibetan pecha” layout recognition
model (id: 54306).

Ground truth data consists of 466 folios from a selection of 19 Tibetan treatises being explored in the TibSchol project. 422 folios were used in the training set and 44 in the validation set. Transcripts use the extended Wylie transliteration system in Roman alphabet. Abbreviations were transcribed as they appear in the manuscripts, for a list of abbreviations see https://github.com/ERC-TibSchol/abbreviations.

If this model is used as base model for your own model, you are kindly requested to mention the model.

The TibSchol project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 101001002).
