A total of 78 submissions from 46 unique teams/individuals were received for this competition. The top performing score of each challenge is as follows: i) T1 – 82.65%, ii) T2.1 – 74.3%, iii) T2.2 – 85.32%, iv) T3.1 – 53.86%, and v) T3.2 – 54.91%. Apart from the results, this paper also details the ArT dataset, tasks description, evaluation metrics and participants' methods. The dataset, the evaluation kit as well as the results are publicly available at the challenge website. %U https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8978157 %U http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/CLS2019.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICDAR.2019.00252 %P 1571-1576
