Implementing word retrieval in handwritten documents using a small dataset
A novel approach to the problem of keyword retrieval in cursive handwritten documents is introduced in this work. Two issues are addressed: small dataset size and uneven sample distribution across the character set. The proposed strategies utilise graphemes (fragments of a handwritten word) to implement a recognition model which is subsequently used to form the feature model for the query word.

Abstract

A novel approach to the problem of keyword retrieval in cursive handwritten documents is introduced in this work. Two issues are addressed: small dataset size and uneven sample distribution across the character set. The proposed strategies utilise graphemes (fragments of a handwritten word) to implement a recognition model which is subsequently used to form the feature model for the query word.
