Chinese named entity recognition (CNER) is an important task in Chinese natural language processing field. However, CNER is very challenging since Chinese entity names are highly context-dependent. In addition, Chinese texts lack delimiters…
We develop a Deep-Text Recurrent Network (DTRN) that regards scene text reading as a sequence labelling problem. We leverage recent advances of deep convolutional neural networks to generate an ordered high-level sequence from a whole word…
When comparing human with artificial intelligence, one major difference is apparent: Humans can generalize very broadly from sparse data sets because they are able to recombine and reintegrate data components in compositional manners. To…
There are ubiquitous distribution shifts in the real world. However, deep neural networks (DNNs) are easily biased towards the training set, which causes severe performance degradation when they receive out-of-distribution data. Many…
Oracle Bone Inscription (OBI) is the earliest mature writing system in China, which represents a crucial stage in the development of hieroglyphs. Nevertheless, the substantial quantity of undeciphered OBI characters remains a significant…
The character vocabulary can be very large in non-alphabetic languages such as Chinese and Japanese, which makes neural network models huge to process such languages. We explored a model for sentiment classification that takes the…
Scene Text Image Super-resolution (STISR) aims to recover high-resolution (HR) scene text images with visually pleasant and readable text content from the given low-resolution (LR) input. Most existing works focus on recovering English…
Neural Machine Translation (NMT) on logographic source languages struggles when translating `unseen' characters, which never appear in the training data. One possible approach to this problem uses sub-character decomposition for training…
Few-shot learning (FSL) aims to learn a classifier that can be easily adapted to recognize novel classes with only a few labeled examples. Some recent work about FSL has yielded promising classification performance, where the image-level…
Lexical analysis is believed to be a crucial step towards natural language understanding and has been widely studied. Recent years, end-to-end lexical analysis models with recurrent neural networks have gained increasing attention. In this…
We develop an approach for unsupervised learning of associations between co-occurring perceptual events using a large graph. We applied this approach to successfully solve the image captcha of China's railroad system. The approach is based…
Ancient Chinese character recognition is a core capability for cultural heritage digitization, yet real-world workflows are inherently non-stationary: newly excavated materials are continuously onboarded, bringing new classes in different…
Recent years have witnessed the improving performance of Chinese Named Entity Recognition (NER) from proposing new frameworks or incorporating word lexicons. However, the inner composition of entity mentions in character-level Chinese NER…
Heterogeneous face recognition (HFR) aims to match facial images acquired from different sensing modalities with mission-critical applications in forensics, security and commercial sectors. However, HFR is a much more challenging problem…
Chinese Spelling Check (CSC) is a task to detect and correct spelling errors in Chinese natural language. Existing methods have made attempts to incorporate the similarity knowledge between Chinese characters. However, they take the…
Handwritten text recognition is an open problem of great interest in the area of automatic document image analysis. The transcription of handwritten content present in digitized documents is significant in analyzing historical archives or…
The human brain processes information showing learning and prediction abilities but the underlying neuronal mechanisms still remain unknown. Recently, many studies prove that neuronal networks are able of both generalizations and…
We present a novel approach to OCR(Optical Character Recognition) of Korean character, Hangul. As a phonogram, Hangul can represent 11,172 different characters with only 52 graphemes, by describing each character with a combination of the…
Dictionary learning is a cornerstone of image classification. We set out to address a longstanding challenge in using dictionary learning for classification; that is to simultaneously maximise the discriminability and…
Signal recognition is one of significant and challenging tasks in the signal processing and communications field. It is often a common situation that there's no training data accessible for some signal classes to perform a recognition task.…
