Mixture of Experts for Persian handwritten word recognition
Authors
Abstract:
This paper presents the results of Persian handwritten word recognition based on Mixture of Experts technique. In the basic form of ME the problem space is automatically divided into several subspaces for the experts, and the outputs of experts are combined by a gating network. In our proposed model, we used Mixture of Experts Multi Layered Perceptrons with Momentum term, in the classification Phase. We produce three different Mixture of Experts structure. Experimental result for proposed method show an error rate reduction of 6.42 % compare to the mixture of MLPs experts. Comparison with some of the most related methods indicates that the proposed model yields excellent recognition rate in handwritten word recognition.

Recognition of Persian handwritten digits using Characterization Loci and Mixture of Experts
A method for recognition of Persian handwritten digits based on characterization loci and mixture of experts is proposed. This method utilizes the characterization loci, as the main feature. In the classification stage of our proposed method the mixture of experts are applied. This recognition method is applied to Farsi hand-written digits in the HODA database. The experimental results support ...

In pursuit of Persian handwritten digit recognition, many machine learning techniques have been utilized. Mixture of experts (MOE) is one of the most popular and interesting combining methods which has great potential to improve performance in machine learning. In MOE, during a competitive learning process, the gating networks supervise dividing input space between experts and experts obtain sp...
full textHolistic Farsi handwritten word recognition using gradient features
In this paper we address the issue of recognizing Farsi handwritten words. Two types of gradient features are extracted from a sliding vertical stripe which sweeps across a word image. These are directional and intensity gradient features. The feature vector extracted from each stripe is then coded using the Self Organizing Map (SOM). In this method each word is modeled using the discrete Hidde...

This thesis presents new approaches in off-line Arabic Handwriting Recognition based on conventional Bernoulli Hidden Markov models. Until now, the off-line handwriting recognition, in particular, the Arabic handwriting recognition is still far away form being perfect. Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are now widely used for off-line handwriting recognition in many languages and, in particular, in A...

An active word recognition paradigm using recursive recognition processing is proposed. To achieve successful recognition result with minimum required processing e ort, recursive system architecture which has active combination of a recognition engine and a decision making module is introduced. In the proposed model, a closed loop connection between recognizer and decision maker operates recurs...
full textConnected Component Based Word Spotting on Persian Handwritten image documents
Word spotting is to make searchable unindexed image documents by locating word/words in a doc-ument image, given a query word. This problem is challenging, mainly due to the large numberof word classes with very small inter-class and substantial intra-class distances. In this paper, asegmentation-based word spotting method is presented for multi-writer Persian handwritten doc-...
