Using the Web to create dynamic dictionaries in handwritten out-of-vocabulary word recognition

Résumé

Handwriting recognition systems rely on predefined dictionaries obtained from training data. Small and static dictionaries are usually exploited to obtain high in-vocabulary (IV) accuracy at the expense of coverage. Thus the recognition of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words cannot be handled efficiently. To improve OOV recognition while keeping IV dictionaries small, we introduce a multi-step approach that exploits Web resources. After an initial IV-OOV sequence classification, external resources are used to create OOV sequence-adapted dynamic dictionaries. A final Viterbi-based decoding is performed over the dynamic dictionary to determine the most probable word for the OOV sequence. We validate our approach with experiments conducted on RIMES, a publicly available database. Results show that improvements are obtained compared to standard handwriting recognition, performed with a static dictionary. Both domainadapted and generic dynamic dictionaries are studied and we show that domain adaptation is beneficial.
