Notes on OCR Freeform

Repository summary

This is an exploratory note for OCR Freeform. It records the intended comparison, likely confounders, and reproducibility requirements before any benchmark result is reported.

What is covered

• the scope of the research question and likely confounders
• a proposed comparison with matched baselines
• concrete evaluation context such as FUNSD, SROIE, and CORD
• reproducibility checks, failure modes, and open questions
• topic-relevant references

How to read this repository

Start with reading.md for the full note. Sections labeled as plans or hypotheses should not be interpreted as experimental results. If results are added later, they should include dataset versions, commands, seeds, hardware, and raw logs.

Scope and limitations

The note is intentionally exploratory. It does not claim benchmark improvements, completed ablations, released code, or a trained checkpoint. References and proposed datasets provide a starting point for verification rather than evidence that the study has already been run.
