UNLV-ISRI document collection for research in OCR and information retrieval

We report on the UNLV-ISRI document collection history, composition, and characteristics. We further provide a short summary of research projects that were conducted using subsets of this collection. These projects were designed to address the retrieval effectiveness from OCR generated collections. Along with this report, ISRI is making this collection available to researchers for further study on the topic of OCR and Information Retrieval.
