Cost-Aware Human-LLM Collaboration for post-OCR Corrections in Swiss Historical Newspapers

Step 1: Pre-print

OCR transcription errors in historical archives often hinder digital search and retrieval. While Large Language Models (LLMs) can correct many of these errors, applying them indiscriminately is costly and may negatively affect already-clean text. We propose a three-tier collaboration framework that routes each text segment to one of: (1) No Correction, (2) LLM Correction, or (3) Human Correction. We introduce a regression-guided routing approach that prioritizes segments by predicted CER improvement, paired with a safeguard layer that detects harmful LLM corrections and routes uncertain segments to human review. With only <5% of the corpus reviewed by human experts, our safeguard achieves a 14% relative reduction over the All-LLM baseline, and substantially outperforms standard confidence-based approaches. By dynamically routing degraded segments to humans and fixable errors to the LLM, the collaborative framework outperforms either corrector in isolation.
