Recognition of Mathematical Notation
نویسنده
چکیده
Recognition of mathematical notation involves two main components: symbol recognition and symbol-arrangement analysis. Symbol-arrangement analysis is particularly difficult for mathematics, due to the subtle use of space in this notation. We begin with a general discussion of the mathematics-recognition problem. This is followed by a review of existing approaches to mathematics recognition, including syntactic methods, projection-profile cutting, graph rewriting, and procedurallycoded math syntax. A central problem in all recognition approaches is to find a convenient, expressive, and effective method for representing the notational conventions of mathematics.

متن کاملNotation Selection in Mathematical Computing Environments
We examine the problem of notation selection in mathematical computing environments. Users of mathematical software may require different notations for the same expression in a variety of settings. How this can be managed in a general way is the subject of this paper. We describe a software tool that can be configured to allow mathematical packages to provide output according to specified notat...

متن کاملLexical Error Compensation in Handwritten-Based Mathematical Information Retrieval
Entering mathematical queries, in general, can be a demanding task. Mathematical notation is twodimensional and cannot be easily typed with a standard QWERTY keyboard. Handwriting appears to be the most intuitive and promising method to express mathematical queries. Recognition technology for handwritten mathematical notation has never been applied in math search. Existing recognition technique...
متن کاملUser Interfaces for On-Line Diagram Recognition
The user interface is critical to the success of a diagram recognition system. It is difficult to define precise goals for a user interface, and even more difficult to quantify performance of a user interface. In this paper, we discuss some of the many research questions related to user interfaces in diagram recognition systems. We relate experiences we have gathered during the construction of ...
