Handling out-of-vocabulary words and recognition errors based on word linguistic context for handwritten sentence recognition

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the use of linguistic information given by language models to deal with word recognition errors on handwritten sentences. We focus especially on errors due to out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words. First, word posterior probabilities are computed and used to detect error hypotheses on output sentences. An SVM classifier allows these errors to be categorized according to defined types. Then, a post-processing step is performed using a language model based on Part-of-Speech (POS) tags which is combined to the n-gram model previously used. Thus, error hypotheses can be further recognized and POS tags can be assigned to the OOV words. Experiments on on-line handwritten sentences show that the proposed approach allows a significant reduction of the word error rate.
