Keyword retrieval in handwritten document images (word spotting) is very challenging given that OCR accuracy is not yet adequate for handwritten scripts, specially with large lexicons.

In this paper, we impr...

Characterization of subsets of data is a recurring problem in data mining.

Several methods that cluster data sets or form projections of data provide an order or distance measure of the clusters. If such an ordering of the clus...
