چکیده
In this paper we present COACH a Cumulative Online Algorithm for Classi cation of Handwriting de ciencies. A description of our algorithm along with a performance evaluation of COACH on real data is provided. COACH is an innovative algorithm designed for building an online handwriting evaluation tool to be used for classifying and remediating handwriting de ciencies. COACH adapts learning and data mining techniques from AI to handwriting de ciency classi cation in an innovative fashion. Until now handwriting classi cation has been performed manually by trained therapists causing expensive and subjective evaluation. This application lowers the cost of evaluation, increases objectiveness, and enables repeated testing that can accompany therapy. COACH is evaluated on real data obtained from children with poor handwriting using a digitizer tablet. Results show that COACH manages to successfully differentiate between poor to pro cient handwriting. Differentiation is obtained even after using data from only a few words. These results prove that COACH is a promising emerging application for

متن کاملPrototype Learning Methods for Online Handwriting Recognition
In this paper, we study different methods for prototype selection for recognizing handwritten characters of Tamil script. In the first method, cumulative pairwisedistances of the training samples of a given class are used to select prototypes. In the second method, cumulative distance to allographs of different orientation is used as a criterion to decide if the sample is representative of the ...
متن کاملOnline Streaming Feature Selection Using Geometric Series of the Adjacency Matrix of Features
Feature Selection (FS) is an important pre-processing step in machine learning and data mining. All the traditional feature selection methods assume that the entire feature space is available from the beginning. However, online streaming features (OSF) are an integral part of many real-world applications. In OSF, the number of training examples is fixed while the number of features grows with t...
متن کاملA Novel Scheme for Improving Accuracy of KNN Classification Algorithm Based on the New Weighting Technique and Stepwise Feature Selection
K nearest neighbor algorithm is one of the most frequently used techniques in data mining for its integrity and performance. Though the KNN algorithm is highly effective in many cases, it has some essential deficiencies, which affects the classification accuracy of the algorithm. First, the effectiveness of the algorithm is affected by redundant and irrelevant features. Furthermore, this algori...
متن کاملSynthetic Handwritten Gesture Generation Using Sigma-Lognormal Model for Evolving Handwriting Classifiers
We show in this paper the importance of using handwriting generation in the context of online and incremental learning of a handwriting classifier. In order to obtain realistic synthetic gestures, we apply controlled deformations on the extracted sigma-lognormal parameters of the real gesture, and we then generate synthetic gestures using the modified parameters. Results show the impact of inte...
