It is essential for most organizations and financial institutes to be able to evaluate their decision-making units (DMUs), when there is only a ratio of inputs to outputs (or vice versa) available. In this paper, we will propose our two-stage DEA-R models, which are a combination of data envelopment analysis and ratio data, based on value efficiency. Integrating value efficiency into data envel...

We develop an optical character recognition (OCR) engine for handwritten Sanskrit using a two-stage classifier. Inside the standard OCR pipeline, we focus on the classification problem assuming characters have been preprocessed decently. One challenge we face is that the language of Sanskrit has about a hundred core characters where model driven methods, like Support Vector Machine (SVM), have ...
