In this paper a novel method for writer identification and retrieval is presented. Writer identification is the process of finding the author of a specific document by comparing it to documents in a database where writers are known, whereas retrieval is the task of finding similar handwritings or all documents of a specific writer. The method presented is using Convolutional Neural Networks (CN...

This paper introduces a novel method for online writer identification. Traditional methods make use of the distribution of directions in handwritten traces. The novelty of this paper comes from 1)We propose a text-independent writer identification that uses handwriting stroke’s probability distribution function (SPDF) as writer features; 2)We extract four dynamic features to characterize writer...

This paper presents a detailed comparison of the relative importance of allowing concurrent writers versus the choice of the underlying consistency model. Our comparison is based on singleand multiple-writerversions of a lazy release consistent (LRC) protocol, and a single-writer sequentially consistent protocol, all implemented in the CVM software distributed shared memory system. We find that...
