Handwritten text recognition using incomplete probabilistic lexicon and character language model

In the paper, a novel concept of two-level handwritten word recognizer is presented, which uses language models on word and character levels. Word level unigram language model (called here probabilistic lexicon) contains words most frequently appearing in the domain of texts being recognized with their prior probabilities. The probabilistic lexicon does not have to be complete but the recognizer is expected to recognize also words that do not belong to the lexicon. The proposed recognizer is a combination of two simpler word soft classifiers. The first classifier uses incomplete probabilistic lexicon. In result, it recognizes only words from the lexicon. The second one applies language character model to support recognition, so it is not constrained by the lexicon and in this way lexicon incompleteness is compensated. Character level language model contains conditional probabilities of character succession and precedence. It is used to create two Hidden Markov Models. The first of them analyses the word from left to right; the second one performs word analysis in reversed order. Viterbi procedure finding the set of most probable character sequences in HMM is used as the soft word recognition algorithm. Results of soft recognition provided by all component classifiers are combined, yielding final word recognition. The method was experimentally examined in an application to handwritten medical texts recognition. Experiment results are presented and discussed.
