# Chitrapathak Marathi v7 LoRA

LoRA adapter for [krutrim-ai-labs/Chitrapathak-2](https://huggingface.co/krutrim-ai-labs/Chitrapathak-2), fine-tuned for Marathi line OCR on real Maharashtra government resolutions.

This repository contains the adapter only (about 228 MB). Load it on top of Chitrapathak-2. The base weights are not included.

The adapter is a non-commercial research derivative of Chitrapathak-2 and is distributed under the [Krutrim Community License Agreement Version 1.0](LICENSE.md). Attribution: Krutrim.

## Evaluation

Same frozen 100 Marathi line images for every model (`marathi_ocr_eval_v2`). This set was not used to train this adapter.

**Overall winner: IndicOCR v7 LoRA 🏆**

🏆 marks the best score on that row. Lower is better for CER, WER, and boundary errors. Higher is better for accuracy, F1, and exact match. Tied winners each get a trophy.

## Training

- Base: Chitrapathak-2 (Qwen2.5-VL, vision tower frozen)
- Data: 9,200 real Marathi line crops from official government resolutions, at most 10 words per line. 800 lines from other documents were held out of training.
- LoRA rank 32, alpha 64, dropout 0.05, on language-model attention and MLP projections
- 2 epochs, learning rate 1e-4, effective batch 16, bf16, AdamW, cosine schedule, 3% warmup
- Prompt: system “You are a helpful assistant.” plus “Perform OCR on this image and transcribe all visible text exactly as it appears.”
- Image budget during training: `max_pixels=300000`, `min_pixels=3136`

## Usage

```python
import torch
from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText, AutoProcessor

base = "krutrim-ai-labs/Chitrapathak-2"
adapter = "snxtyle/chitrapathak-marathi-v7-lora"

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(base, max_pixels=300_000, min_pixels=56 * 56)
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(base, dtype=torch.bfloat16)
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, adapter)
model.eval()

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "image": "line.png"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "Perform OCR on this image and transcribe all visible text exactly as it appears."},
        ],
    },
]
