Verification of Graphemes Using Neural Networks in an Hmm-based On-line Korean Handwriting Recognition System

چکیده
This paper presents a neural network based verification method in an HMM-based on-line Korean handwriting recognition system. It penalizes unreasonable grapheme hypotheses and complements global and structural information to the HMM-based recognition system, which is intrinsically based on local information. In the proposed system, each grapheme has one neural network verifier as well as one HMM recognizer. The verifier takes as an input the grapheme hypothesis generated by the HMM and outputs a posteriori probability as its validity. This probability is then incorporated into the search process by Viterbi algorithm during recognition. The global and structural information to the verifier is obtained from the relationship between primitive strokes in each grapheme by analyzing their correspondence with the HMM states. The experimental result shows that the recognition error of the baseline HMM network can be reduced by 39.2% with the proposed verification scheme.

In this study, an improved HMM based recognition model is proposed for online English and Korean handwritten characters. The pattern elements of the handwriting model are sub character strokes and ligatures. To deal with the problem of handwriting style variations, a modified Hierarchical Clustering approach is introduced to partition different writing styles into several classes. For each of t...

This paper addresses a very challenging topic in on-line handwriting recognition. It deals with the problem how to further improve a baseline very large vocabulary HMM-based handwriting recognition system with a vocabulary size of 200.000 German words. The use of sophisticated HMM-technology allows the construction of such a baseline system. It is however an extremely difficult task to further ...
