## 3. Multi-language config yml file generation
PaddleOCR currently supports 80 (except Chinese) language recognition. A multi-language configuration file template is
provided under the path `configs/rec/multi_languages`: [rec_multi_language_lite_train.yml](../../configs/rec/multi_language/rec_multi_language_lite_train.yml)。
There are two ways to create the required configuration file:：
1. Automatically generated by script
[generate_multi_language_configs.py](../../configs/rec/multi_language/generate_multi_language_configs.py) Can help you generate configuration files for multi-language models
- Take Italian as an example, if your data is prepared in the following format:
```
|-train_data
|- it_train.txt # train_set label
|- it_val.txt # val_set label
|- data
|- word_001.jpg
|- word_002.jpg
|- word_003.jpg
| ...
```
You can use the default parameters to generate a configuration file:
```bash
# The code needs to be run in the specified directory
cd PaddleOCR/configs/rec/multi_language/
# Set the configuration file of the language to be generated through the -l or --language parameter.
# This command will write the default parameters into the configuration file
python3 generate_multi_language_configs.py -l it
```
- If your data is placed in another location, or you want to use your own dictionary, you can generate the configuration file by specifying the relevant parameters:
```bash
# -l or --language field is required
# --train to modify the training set
# --val to modify the validation set
# --data_dir to modify the data set directory
# --dict to modify the dict path
# -o to modify the corresponding default parameters
cd PaddleOCR/configs/rec/multi_language/
python3 generate_multi_language_configs.py -l it \ # language
--train {path/of/train_label.txt} \ # path of train_label
--val {path/of/val_label.txt} \ # path of val_label
--data_dir {train_data/path} \ # root directory of training data
--dict {path/of/dict} \ # path of dict
-o Global.use_gpu=False # whether to use gpu
...
```
Italian is made up of Latin letters, so after executing the command, you will get the rec_latin_lite_train.yml.
2. Manually modify the configuration file
You can also manually modify the following fields in the template:
```
Global:
use_gpu: True
epoch_num: 500
...
character_type: it # language
character_dict_path: {path/of/dict} # path of dict
Train:
dataset:
name: SimpleDataSet
data_dir: train_data/ # root directory of training data

## TRAINING
## 1.2 DOWNLOAD PRETRAINED MODEL
First download the pretrained model. The detection model of PaddleOCR currently supports 3 backbones, namely MobileNetV3, ResNet18_vd and ResNet50_vd. You can use the model in [PaddleClas](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleClas/tree/release/2.0/ppcls/modeling/architectures) to replace backbone according to your needs.
And the responding download link of backbone pretrain weights can be found in (https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleClas/blob/release%2F2.0/README_cn.md#resnet%E5%8F%8A%E5%85%B6vd%E7%B3%BB%E5%88%97).

And the responding download link of backbone pretrain weights can be found in [PaddleClas repo](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleClas#mobile-series).
If you expect to load trained model and continue the training again, you can specify the parameter `Global.checkpoints` as the model path to be loaded.
**Note**: The priority of `Global.checkpoints` is higher than that of `Global.pretrain_weights`, that is, when two parameters are specified at the same time, the model specified by `Global.checkpoints` will be loaded first. If the model path specified by `Global.checkpoints` is wrong, the one specified by `Global.pretrain_weights` will be loaded.
## EVALUATION
## 1.5 TRAINING WITH NEW BACKBONE
The network part completes the construction of the network, and PaddleOCR divides the network into four parts, which are under [ppocr/modeling](../../ppocr/modeling). The data entering the network will pass through these four parts in sequence(transforms->backbones->
necks->heads).
```bash
├── architectures # Code for building network
├── transforms # Image Transformation Module
├── backbones # Feature extraction module
├── necks # Feature enhancement module
└── heads # Output module
```
If the Backbone to be replaced has a corresponding implementation in PaddleOCR, you can directly modify the parameters in the `Backbone` part of the configuration yml file.
However, if you want to use a new Backbone, an example of replacing the backbones is as follows:
1. Create a new file under the [ppocr/modeling/backbones](../../ppocr/modeling/backbones) folder, such as my_backbone.py.
2. Add code in the my_backbone.py file, the sample code is as follows:
```python
importpaddle
importpaddle.nnasnn
importpaddle.nn.functionalasF
classMyBackbone(nn.Layer):
def__init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
super(MyBackbone,self).__init__()
# your init code
self.conv=nn.xxxx
defforward(self,inputs):
# your network forward
y=self.conv(inputs)
returny
```
3. Import the added module in the [ppocr/modeling/backbones/\__init\__.py](../../ppocr/modeling/backbones/__init__.py) file.
After adding the four-part modules of the network, you only need to configure them in the configuration file to use, such as:
```yaml
Backbone:
name:MyBackbone
args1:args1
```
**NOTE**: More details about replace Backbone and other mudule can be found in [doc](add_new_algorithm_en.md).

The inference model (the model saved by `paddle.jit.save`) is generally a solidified model saved after the model training is completed, and is mostly used to give prediction in deployment.
The model saved during the training process is the checkpoints model, which saves the parameters of the model and is mostly used to resume training.
Compared with the checkpoints model, the inference model will additionally save the structural information of the model. Therefore, it is easier to deploy because the model structure and model parameters are already solidified in the inference model file, and is suitable for integration with actual systems.
Firstly, we can convert DB trained model to inference model:
Q1: The prediction results of trained model and inference model are inconsistent?
**A**: Most of the problems are caused by the inconsistency of the pre-processing and post-processing parameters during the prediction of the trained model and the pre-processing and post-processing parameters during the prediction of the inference model. Taking the model trained by the det_mv3_db.yml configuration file as an example, the solution to the problem of inconsistent prediction results between the training model and the inference model is as follows:
- Check whether the [trained model preprocessing](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/c1ed243fb68d5d466258243092e56cbae32e2c14/configs/det/det_mv3_db.yml#L116) is consistent with the prediction [preprocessing function of the inference model](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/c1ed243fb68d5d466258243092e56cbae32e2c14/tools/infer/predict_det.py#L42). When the algorithm is evaluated, the input image size will affect the accuracy. In order to be consistent with the paper, the image is resized to [736, 1280] in the training icdar15 configuration file, but there is only a set of default parameters when the inference model predicts, which will be considered To predict the speed problem, the longest side of the image is limited to 960 for resize by default.

# INTRODUCTION ABOUT OCR
This section briefly introduces the basic concepts of OCR detection model and recognition model, and introduces PaddleOCR's PP-OCR model.
OCR (Optical Character Recognition, Optical Character Recognition) is currently the general term for text recognition. It is not limited to document or book text recognition, but also includes recognizing text in natural scenes. It can also be called STR (Scene Text Recognition).
OCR text recognition generally includes two parts, text detection and text recognition. The text detection module first uses detection algorithms to detect text lines in the image. And then the recognition algorithm to identify the specific text in the text line.
## BASIC CONCEPTS OF OCR DETECTION MODEL
Text detection can locate the text area in the image, and then usually mark the word or text line in the form of a bounding box. Traditional text detection algorithms mostly extract features manually, which are characterized by fast speed and good effect in simple scenes, but the effect will be greatly reduced when faced with natural scenes. Currently, deep learning methods are mostly used.
Text detection algorithms based on deep learning can be roughly divided into the following categories:
1. Method based on target detection. Generally, after the text box is predicted, the final text box is filtered through NMS, which is mostly four-point text box, which is not ideal for curved text scenes. Typical algorithms are methods such as EAST and Text Box.
2. Method based on text segmentation. The text line is regarded as the segmentation target, and then the external text box is constructed through the segmentation result, which can handle curved text, and the effect is not ideal for the text cross scene problem. Typical algorithms are DB, PSENet and other methods.
3. Hybrid target detection and segmentation method.
## Basic concepts of OCR recognition model
The input of the OCR recognition algorithm is generally text lines images which has less background information, and the text information occupies the main part. The recognition algorithm can be divided into two types of algorithms:
1. CTC-based method. The text prediction module of the recognition algorithm is based on CTC, and the commonly used algorithm combination is CNN+RNN+CTC. There are also some algorithms that try to add transformer modules to the network and so on.
2. Attention-based method. The text prediction module of the recognition algorithm is based on Attention, and the commonly used algorithm combination is CNN+RNN+Attention.
## PP-OCR model
PaddleOCR integrates many OCR algorithms, text detection algorithms include DB, EAST, SAST, etc., text recognition algorithms include CRNN, RARE, StarNet, Rosetta, SRN and other algorithms.
Among them, PaddleOCR has released the PP-OCR series model for the general OCR in Chinese and English natural scenes. The PP-OCR model is composed of the DB+CRNN algorithm. It uses massive Chinese data training and model tuning methods to have high text detection and recognition capabilities in Chinese scenes. And PaddleOCR has launched a high-precision and ultra-lightweight PP-OCRv2 model. The detection model is only 3M, and the recognition model is only 8.5M. Using [PaddleSlim](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSlim)'s model quantification method, the detection model can be compressed to 0.8M without reducing the accuracy. The recognition is compressed to 3M, which is more suitable for mobile deployment scenarios.
