LeRec: a NN/HMM hybrid for on-line handwriting recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a new approach for on-line recognition of handwritten words written in unconstrained mixed style. The preprocessor performs a word-level normalization by fitting a model of the word structure using the EM algorithm. Words are then coded into low resolution "annotated images" where each pixel contains information about trajectory direction and curvature. The recognizer is a convolution network that can be spatially replicated. From the network output, a hidden Markov model produces word scores. The entire system is globally trained to minimize word-level errors.

In this work we propose two hybrid NN/HMM systems for handwriting recognition. The tied posterior model approximates the output probability density function of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) with a neural net (NN). This allows a discriminative training of the model. The second system is the tandem approach: A NN is used as part of the feature extraction, and then a standard HMM apporach is applied...
