This competition is aimed at classification of writer demographics from offline handwritten documents using the QUWI database. QUWI is a bilingual database comprising writing samples of same individuals in Arabic and English. This allows evaluating the performance of different systems in a more challenging multi-script environment. This paper presents the details of the competition tasks, the datasets...
Prediction of gender and other demographic attributes of individuals from handwriting samples offers an interesting basic, as well as applied research problem. The correlation between gender and the visual appearance of handwriting has been validated by a number of studies and the present study is based on the same idea. We exploit the textural measurements as the discriminating attribute between...
This paper proposes a method for simulating human opinions about graphical artistic expressions like calligraphy using computers. Scanned images of handwriting texts from a large database are labeled as "beautiful writing" or "ugly writing" by two persons based on their own likes. Our objective is to replicate these opinions using machine learning techniques. Shape features are...
This paper proposes a constrained AdaBoost algorithm for utilizing global features in a dynamic time warping (DTW) framework. Global features are defined as a spatial relationship between temporally-distant points of a temporal pattern and are useful to represent global structure of the pattern. An example is the spatial relationship between the first and the last points of a handwritten pattern of...
This paper presents the results of the ICDAR2013 competitions on signature verification and writer identification for on- and offline skilled forgeries jointly organized by PR researchers and Forensic Handwriting Examiners (FHEs). The aim is to bridge the gap between recent technological developments and forensic casework. Two modalities (signatures, and handwritten text) are considered where training...
Computer based training has become an increasingly attractive alternative to traditional training methods for skill acquisition, and the topic of skill modeling has become one of great interest. One of the key problems in computer-based training is automatic skill evaluation, which requires precise and accurate skill modeling. In order to evaluate and model human skills it is necessary to identify...
