Character-based handwritten text transcription with attention networks

نویسندگان

چکیده

The paper approaches the task of handwritten text recognition (HTR) with attentional encoder–decoder networks trained on sequences characters, rather than words. We experiment lines from popular handwriting datasets and compare different activation functions for attention mechanism used aligning image pixels target characters. find that softmax focuses heavily individual while sigmoid multiple characters at each step decoding. When sequence alignment is one-to-one, able to learn a more precise decoding, whereas generated by much less precise. linear function obtain weights, model predicts character looking entire performs poorly because it lacks between source target. Future research may explore HTR in natural scene images, since capable transcribing without need producing segmentations or bounding boxes images.

Character-Based Handwritten Text Recognition of Multilingual Documents

An effective approach to transcribe handwritten text documents is to follow a sequential interactive approach. During the supervision phase, user corrections are incorporated into the system through an ongoing retraining process. In the case of multilingual documents with a high percentage of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words, two principal issues arise. On the one hand, a minor yet important matte...

Neural based Handwritten Character Recognition

This paper explores the existing ring based [2], the new sector based and the combination of these, termed as Fusion method for the recognition of handwritten English capital letters. The variability associated with the characters is accounted for by way of considering a fixed number of concentric rings in the case of ring based approach and a fixed number of sectors in the case of sector appro...

Multilinguistic handwritten character recognition by Bayesian decision-based neural networks

In this paper, we present a Bayesian decisionbased neural network (BDNN) for multilinguistic handwritten character recognition. The proposed self-growing probabilistic decision-based neural network (SPDNN) adopts a hierarchical network structure with nonlinear basis functions and a competitive credit-assignment scheme. Our prototype system demonstrates a successful utilization of SPDNN to the h...

Handwritten Character Recognition Using Neural Networks

The aim of this work is to assess the possibility of having on-line handwriting recognition abilities on a small portable computer. We studied the recognitions rates dependence on the target character set and the incremental training made possible by new neural network techniques. We worked on cross-cultural data gathered from French and Dutch people containing about 70000 characters from 200 p...

Handwritten Equation Intelligent Character Recognition with Neural Networks

We seek to implement intelligent character recognition of handwritten equations in a manner that allows for a computer program to translate a user’s hand-drawn equation into formatted LTEX. We use a Kohonen neural network fed by downsampled images to accomplish this task. While we were able to achieve single-character recognition with a very low error rate, multiple character recognition and wh...
