## Papers

1. **[Toward a Period-Specific Optimized Neural Network for OCR Error Correction of Historical Hebrew Texts](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/hbo-2023-suissa-toward-period-specific-optimized-neural/)** *(2023)* The full version of the authors' work on Hebrew OCR post-correction. They align 70% of hand-corrected JPress newspaper articles with their OCR output (Needleman–Wunsch) to learn character-level, period-specific confusions — the commonest being ח→ה (about 8%), ד→ר (5%), ג→נ, ב→כ, ם→ס, ח→ת, ו↔י — and inject them into…
2. **[Optimizing the Neural Network Training for OCR Error Correction of Historical Hebrew Texts](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/hbo-2023-suissa-optimizing-neural-network-training-ocr/)** *(2023)* OCR of historical Hebrew newspapers (the JPress collection) is noisy, and neural post-correctors need large hand-corrected sets.
