Implicit biases and stereotypes are often pervasive in different forms of creative writing such as novels, screenplays, and children's books. To understand the kind of biases writers are concerned about and how they mitigate those in their…
The forensic attribution of the handwriting in a digitized document to multiple scribes is a challenging problem of high dimensionality. Unique handwriting styles may be dissimilar in a blend of several factors including character size,…
Graph-based methods have shown particular strengths in change-point detection (CPD) tasks for high-dimensional nonparametric settings. However, existing CPD research has rarely addressed data with repeated measurements or local group…
Offline handwriting recognition (HWR) has improved significantly with the advent of deep learning architectures in recent years. Nevertheless, it remains a challenging problem and practical applications often rely on post-processing…
Learning disabilities, which primarily interfere with the basic learning skills such as reading, writing and math, are known to affect around 10% of children in the world. The poor motor skills and motor coordination as part of the…
Interpretation of different writing styles, unconstrained cursiveness and relationship between different primitive parts is an essential and challenging task for recognition of handwritten characters. As feature representation is…
The essential task of verifying person identities at airports and national borders is very time consuming. To accelerate it, optical character recognition for identity documents (IDs) using dictionaries is not appropriate due to high…
Automatic assessment of dysarthria remains a highly challenging task due to high variability in acoustic signals and the limited data. Currently, research on the automatic assessment of dysarthria primarily focuses on two approaches: one…
Biometric authentication by means of handwritten signatures is a challenging pattern recognition task, which aims to infer a writer model from only a handful of genuine signatures. In order to make it more difficult for a forger to attack…
Automated program repair (APR) faces the challenge of test overfitting, where generated patches pass validation tests but fail to generalize. Existing methods for patch assessment involve generating new tests or manual inspection, which can…
Concepts and methods of complex networks can be used to analyse texts at their different complexity levels. Examples of natural language processing (NLP) tasks studied via topological analysis of networks are keyword identification,…
Hierarchical inference in (generalized) regression problems is powerful for finding significant groups or even single covariates, especially in high-dimensional settings where identifiability of the entire regression parameter vector may be…
