Title
Comparing Machine Learning Approaches for Table Recognition in Historical Register Books
Abstract
We present in this paper experiments on Table Recognition in hand-written register books. We first explain how the problem of row and column detection is modelled, and then compare two Machine Learning approaches (Conditional Random Field and Graph Convolutional Network) for detecting these table elements. Evaluation was conducted on death records provided by the Archives of the Diocese of Passau. With an F-1 score of 89, both methods provide a quality which allows for Information Extraction. Software and dataset are open source/data.
