Extant research has approached writer identification by using writing styles as a discriminative function between writers. In contrast, we model writing styles as a shared component of an individualâs handwriting. We develop a theoretical framework for this conceptualization and model this using a three level hierarchical Bayesian model (Latent Dirichlet Allocation). In this text-independent, unsupervised model each writerâs handwriting is modeled as a distribution over finite writing styles that are shared amongst writers. We test our model on a novel online/offline handwriting dataset IBM UB 1 which is being made available to the public. Our experiments show comparable results to current benchmarks and demonstrate the efficacy of explicitly modeling shared writing styles.","PeriodicalId":291062,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114752624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Choice of the modality to adopt, the classification/matching techniques best suited to the application, the most effective sensors to use, and so on, are all important considerations, and can help to ameliorate factors which might detract from optimal performance. Less well researched, however, is how to optimise performance by means of exploiting broader-based information often available in a specific task and, in particular, the exploitation of so-called \"soft\" biometric data is often overlooked. This paper proposes a novel approach to the integration of soft biometric data into an effective processing structure for an identification task by adopting a fuzzy representation of information which is inherently continuous, using subject age as a typical example. Our results show this to be a promising methodology with possible benefits in a number of potentially difficult practical scenarios.","PeriodicalId":291062,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123307515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The technique is based on a connected-component oriented elastic registration of an already existing imperfect facsimile to the inscription image. Some empirical results, supporting the methodology, are presented. The procedure is also relevant to the creation of facsimiles for other types of inscriptions.","PeriodicalId":291062,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123617506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two state-of-the-art classification methods, namely, Support Vector Machines and Random Forests are used in the verification experiments.

The most common type of language model, the n-gram model, decomposes sentences into short, overlapping chunks. In this paper, we propose a new type of language model which we use in addition to the standard n-gram LM. Our new model uses the likelihood score from a statistical machine translation system as a reranking feature. In general terms, we automatically translate each OCR hypothesis into another language, and then create a feature score based on how \"difficult\" it was to perform the translation. Intuitively, the difficulty of translation correlates with how well-formed the input sentence is. In an Arabic handwriting recognition task, we were able to obtain an 0.4% absolute improvement to word error rate (WER) on top of a powerful 5-gram LM.","PeriodicalId":291062,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129340686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an effective algorithm to deal with bleed-through effects existing in the images of financial documents. Double-sided images scanned simultaneously are used as in-puts, and the bleed-through effect is detected and removed after the registration of the recto and verso side images. There are two major aspects of contribution in our work. First, our algorithm can deal with images with complex background from real-life financial documents while most other algorithms only deal with images with simple background. Second, we combine the fast ICA algorithm with Gatos' local adaptive thresholding algorithm [1] to deal with the bleed-through effects. Experiments show that our proposed algorithm is very promising.","PeriodicalId":291062,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124080173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when the number of classes is much larger than the reduced dimensionality, FDA suffers from the class separation problem in that it will preserve the distances of the already well-separated classes and cause a large overlap of neighboring classes. To cope with this problem, we propose a new model called confused distance maximization (CDM). The objective of CDM is to maximize the distance of the most confusable classes, according to the confusion matrix estimated from the training data with a pre-learned classifier. Compared with FDA that maximizes the sum of the distances of all class pairs, CDM is more relevant to the classification accuracy by weighting the pairwise distance according to the confusion matrix. Furthermore, CDM is computationally inexpensive which makes it indeed efficient and effective for large category problems. Experiments on two large-scale 3,755-class Chinese handwriting databases (offline and online) demonstrate that CDM can achieve the best performance compared with FDA and other competitive weighting based criteria.","PeriodicalId":291062,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130457974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
