# jerryjliu/fly_ocr

> An experimental OCR that recognizes printed letters and digits through a simulated fruit-fly connectome with frozen weights and a small trained decoder. A research project, not a practical tool.

- Magnitude: 0.0 out of 10 — Quiet

## Useful for

- Run the local React viewer with bundled recordings without downloading the connectome
- Recognize letters and digits on a cropped image via the CLI
- Reproduce class scores from saved recordings to verify results

## Why it’s here

- The repository is 16 days old and already has 88 stars.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
