Description
Arkindex (a document processing platform developed by TEKLIA) represents a promising open-source alternative to Transcribus and e-Scriptorium. Based on modular approach Arkindex implements machine learning algorithms that can be applied for layout analysis, transcription, structuration, named entity recognition, and information extraction of text documents as well as object segmentation, visual description, and metadata extraction of photographs and visual objects. The main aim of the current project is to expand the capabilities of Arkindex by the implementation of suitable open-weight LLMs and VLMs for ATR/HTR tasks managed within local installation of Open WebUI platform. The suggested solution involves the development of specialized “Worker” (a Docker image) able to utilize the compute power of these models via API endpoint provided by the instance of Open WebUI platform.
