A cool paper from Facebook AI (not from FAIR!) about detecting and reading text in images, at scale. 

This is very useful for detecting inappropriate content on Facebook.

The system uses R-CNN/Detectron for detecting lines of text.

The OCR uses a ConvNet applied at the level of a whole line trained with CTC.

This concept of applying a ConvNet on a whole line of text, without prior segmentation, has roots in the early days of ConvNets, for example with this NIPS 1992 paper:
"Multi-Digit Recognition Using a Space Displacement Neural Network"
by Ofer Matan, Chris Burges, Yann LeCun and John Denker.

friend: yo dude, wanna drink?

me: nah man, that stuff kills brain cells.

friend: you say its killing brain cells but i say its just real life dropout to prevent overfitting
