Discriminative feature extraction (DFE) is an effective linear dimensionality reduction method for pattern recognition. It improves the recognition performance via optimizing subspace projection axes and classifier parameters simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear extension of DFE, called discriminative quadratic feature extraction (DQFE), for which feature vectors are firstly mapped...
Adapting a writer-independent classifier toward the unique handwriting style of a particular writer has the potential to significantly increase accuracy for personalized handwriting recognition. This paper proposes a novel framework of style transfer mapping (STM) for writer adaptation. The STM is a writer-specific class-independent feature transformation which has a closed-form solution. After style...
This paper presents a text query-based method for keyword spotting from online Chinese handwritten documents. The similarity between a text word and handwriting is obtained by combining the character similiarity scores given by a character classifier. To overcome the ambiguity of character segmentation, multiple candidates of character patterns are generated by over-segmentation, and sequences of...
Chinese handwriting recognition remains a challenge. Research works have reported very high accuracies on neatly handwritten characters yet the performance on unconstrained handwriting remains quite low. To promote the recognition technology, new databases of unconstrained handwriting have been constructed for academic research and benchmarking. This paper reports the contest results of online and...
Prototype classifiers trained with multi-class classification objective are inferior in pattern retrieval and outlier rejection. To improve the binary classification (detection, verification, retrieval, outlier rejection) performance of prototype classifiers, we propose a one-vs-all training method, which enriches each prototype as a binary discriminant function with a local threshold, and optimizes...
The classification performance of nearest prototype classifiers largely relies on the prototype learning algorithms, such as the learning vector quantization (LVQ) and the minimum classification error (MCE). This paper proposes a new prototype learning algorithm based on the minimization of a conditional log-likelihood loss (CLL), called log-likelihood of margin (LOGM). A regularization term is added...
