OpenBMB releases 1.3B OCR model and 2B quality checker

OpenBMB has released two new models focused on Optical Character Recognition (OCR). MiniCPM-OCR 1.0 is a 1.3 billion parameter model designed for parsing both Chinese and English documents. Accompanying this is MiniCPM-OCR Jev, a 2 billion parameter model that evaluates the quality of OCR output by providing a score from 0 to 1. Jev can assess text, formulas, and tables, and is compatible with OCR results from other parsers, making it a useful tool for improving the accuracy of information extracted from documents. AI

IMPACT Provides tools to improve the accuracy of document parsing and OCR output quality, potentially aiding RAG pipelines.
