## 3. Model Training / Evaluation / Prediction
The above EAST model is trained using the ICDAR2015 text detection public dataset. For the download of the dataset, please refer to [ocr_datasets](./dataset/ocr_datasets_en.md).
After the data download is complete, please refer to [Text Detection Training Tutorial](./detection.md) for training. PaddleOCR has modularized the code structure, so that you only need to **replace the configuration file** to train different detection models.

## 4. Inference and Deployment

### 4.1 Python Inference
#### 4.1.2 Inference for Trained Model
After training, inference can be performed directly. Take [the model trained on the ICDAR2015 English dataset](https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/dygraph_v2.0/en/det_r50_vd_east_v2.0_train.tar) based on the Resnet50_vd backbone network as an example.
First, convert the model saved in the EAST text detection training process into an inference model. Taking the model based on the Resnet50_vd backbone network and trained on the ICDAR2015 English dataset as example ([model download link](https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/dygraph_v2.0/en/det_r50_vd_east_v2.0_train.tar)), you can use the following command to convert:
The visualized text detection results are saved to the `./inference_results` folder by default, and the name of the result file is prefixed with 'det_res'.
<aname="4-2"></a>
### 4.2 C++ Inference
Since the post-processing is not written in CPP, the EAST text detection model does not support CPP inference.

[2] On the basis of PP-OCR, PP-OCRv2 is further optimized in five aspects. The detection model adopts CML(Collaborative Mutual Learning) knowledge distillation strategy and CopyPaste data expansion strategy. The recognition model adopts LCNet lightweight backbone network, U-DML knowledge distillation strategy and enhanced CTC loss function improvement (as shown in the red box above), which further improves the inference speed and prediction effect. For more details, please refer to the technical report of PP-OCRv2 (https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.03144).
