Model Details
Model Description
This model utilizes Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) via LoRA and 4-bit quantization to adapt the base Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct model for highly accurate text recognition from images. It achieves significant improvements in Character Error Rate (CER) and Exact Match accuracy compared to the base model.
- Developed by: phucdu
- Model type: Vision-Language Model (VLM) / LoRA Adapter
- Language(s) (NLP): English
- License: Apache 2.0 (inheriting from Qwen)
- Finetuned from model: Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct
Uses
Direct Use
Extracting and reading text from images (Optical Character Recognition - OCR). It is particularly tuned on single-word crops but generalizes well to standard text reading tasks.

Evaluation
Testing Data, Factors & Metrics
- Testing Data: 800 held-out samples from the MJSynth dataset.
- Metrics: Character Error Rate (CER), Word Error Rate (WER), Exact Match Accuracy.
Results
Comparing Base Model vs. Fine-tuned Model on the test set:
- CER: 1.3056 ➔ 0.0842 (93.5% relative improvement)
- WER: 2.3462 ➔ 0.1437 (93.8% relative improvement)
- Exact Match Accuracy: 62.37% ➔ 85.62% (37.2% relative improvement)
- Avg Inference Latency: ~0.768 sec/image
Summary
The LoRA fine-tuning process significantly enhanced the model's OCR capabilities on the target dataset, bringing the exact match accuracy up to over 85% while massively dropping both CER and WER.
