BANGLADESH, Dhaka, June 28th 2018 - Apurba is proudly sponsoring the Bengali Digit Recognition Competition, which will run until
30th June 2018 and is organized by Bengali.AI.
Currently, natural language processing (NLP) research is developing rapidly due to the rise of artificial
intelligence (AI). One of the key topics of NLP is optical character recognition (OCR).
To build an OCR in Bengali language, digit classification provides a convenient starting point.
In this competition, the participants will have the opportunity to correctly identify digits from NumtaDB, a large dataset (85,000+) of
Bengali digits.
