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…
State-of-the-art methods for handwriting recognition are based on Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks (RNN), which now provides very impressive character recognition performance. The character recognition is generally…
Handwriting recognition technology allows recognizing a written text from a given data. The recognition task can target letters, symbols, or words, and the input data can be a digital image or recorded by various sensors. A wide range of…
Handwritten text recognition in low resource scenarios, such as manuscripts with rare alphabets, is a challenging problem. The main difficulty comes from the very few annotated data and the limited linguistic information (e.g. dictionaries…
Translating a morphology-rich, low-resource language like Latin poses significant challenges. This paper introduces a reproducible draft-based refinement pipeline that elevates open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) to a performance level…
We introduce a general detection-based approach to text line recognition, be it printed (OCR) or handwritten (HTR), with Latin, Chinese, or ciphered characters. Detection-based approaches have until now been largely discarded for HTR…
We introduce a new dataset for offline Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) from images of Bangla scripts comprising words, lines, and document-level annotations. The BN-HTRd dataset is based on the BBC Bangla News corpus, meant to act as…
Researchers often rely on humans to code (label, annotate, etc.) large sets of texts. This kind of human coding forms an important part of social science research, yet the coding process is both resource intensive and highly variable from…
One of the factors limiting the performance of handwritten text recognition (HTR) for stenography is the small amount of annotated training data. To alleviate the problem of data scarcity, modern HTR methods often employ data augmentation.…
