- Text Lite - Minimal text hints
- Vision Intensive - Diagram crucial
- Vision Dominant - Diagram is key
- Vision Only - Only diagram
- Text Only - No diagram (ablation)
What We Can Use
Comprehensive Evaluation
- Test across 6 difficulty levels
- Measure true visual understanding
- Chain-of-Thought scoring
Benchmark Comparison
- Compare against SoTA models
- Vision vs text performance analysis
- CoT evaluation with GPT-4
Dataset Access
from datasets import load_dataset dataset = load_dataset("AI4Math/MathVerse", "testmini") # 788 problems ร 5 versions = 3,940 samples
Integration Plan
# Use MathVerse for multimodal evaluation
test_results = evaluate_on_mathverse(
ocr_service=our_ocr,
verifier=our_orchestrator
)
# Report scores on 6 versions
๐๏ธ 4. Handwritten Math Transcription (johnkimdw) - INTEGRATED
Source: https://github.com/johnkimdw/handwritten-math-transcription.git
Status: โ
Fully Integrated into OCR Service
What It Is
- Seq2Seq model with attention for handwritten math recognition
- Trained on 230K human-written + 400K synthetic math expressions
- Outputs LaTeX format directly
- 92% exact-match accuracy on validation set
Integration Details
- Location:
services/handwritten_math_ocr.py(Wrapper) - Integration Point:
services/ocr_service.py(Enhanced) - Model: PyTorch seq2seq with bidirectional LSTM encoder
- Pretrained Weights:
model_v3_0.pth(21MB)
Capabilities Added
- โ Handwritten math equation recognition
- โ LaTeX output generation
- โ Automatic backend selection (handwritten vs printed)
- โ Graceful fallback to Tesseract
- โ Confidence estimation
How It Works
# In ocr_service.py
from services.handwritten_math_ocr import HandwrittenMathOCR
# Automatically detects handwriting and uses specialized model
result = ocr_service.extract_text(image, backend='handwritten_math')
# Returns: {'latex': 'x^{2} + 2x + 1 = 0', 'confidence': 0.85}
Performance
- Exact Match: 92% on validation
- Character Error Rate: 3.2%
- Token Accuracy: 95.8%
- Processing Time: ~1.2s per image (CPU)
