Fast Identification of Stop Words for Font Learning and Keyword Spotting
نویسنده
چکیده
A recently proposed adaptive strategy for text recognition uses a linguistic fact that over half of the words on a typical English page are among 150 common stop words. The small lexicon permits word-shape based recognition that yields word identities from which character prototypes can be extracted. This paper describes a fast procedure for locating the best candidates for those stop words. The procedure uses width statistics of individual words and their immediate neighbors. In an experiment using 400 page images, the method removed 63% of the words from consideration. The stop/non-stop word discrimination also assists keyword spotting for information retrieval.

Lexical Access-based Confidence Measure for a Spanish Keyword Spotting System
Keyword spotting deals with the search of a reduced set of keywords in audio content. Phone Lattice-based approaches are very fast but achieve poor results. HMM-based keyword spotting systems deal with filler models to absorb the Out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words and achieve best results although they are slower. We propose a technique which combines them in order to perform a confidence measure to...

متن کاملKeyword spotting in multi-player voice driven games for children
Word spotting, or keyword identification, is a highly challenging task when there are multiple speakers speaking simultaneously. In the case of a game being controlled by children solely through voice, the task becomes extremely difficult. Children, unlike adults, typically do not await their turn to speak in an orderly fashion. They interrupt and shout at arbitrary times, speak or say things t...

متن کاملRecognition and Rejection Performance in Wordspotting Systems Using Support Vector Machines
Support Vector Machines (SVM) is one such machine learning technique that learns the decision surface through a process of discrimination and has a good generalization capacity [6]. SVMs have been proven to be successful classifiers on several classical pattern recogntion problems [9, 11]. In this paper, one of the first applications of Support Vector Machines (SVM) technique for the problem of...
