• Abstract: Interpretation of different writing styles, unconstrained cursiveness and relationship between different primitive parts is an essential and challenging task for recognition of handwritten characters. As feature representation is inadequate, appropriate interpretation/description of handwritten characters seems to be a challenging task. Although existing research in handwritten characters is extensive, it still remains a challenge to get the effective representation of characters in feature space. In this paper, we make an attempt to circumvent these problems by proposing an approach that exploits the robust graph representation and spectral graph embedding concept to characterise and effectively represent handwritten characters, taking into account writing styles, cursiveness and relationships. For corroboration of the efficacy of the proposed method, extensive experiments were carried out on the standard handwritten numeral Computer Vision Pattern Recognition, Unit of Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata dataset. The experimental results demonstrate promising findings, which can be used in future studies.

  Existing scene text recognition (STR) methods struggle to recognize challenging texts, especially for artistic and severely distorted characters. We propose a contrastive learning-based STR framework by leveraging synthetic and real unlabeled data without any human cost. Our method achieves SOTA performance (94.7% and 70.9% average accuracy on common benchmarks and Union14M-Benchmark.

  We show that representations learned for a surrogate authorship prediction task are indeed sensitive to writing style. As a consequence, authorship representations may be expected to be robust to certain kinds of data shift, such as topic drift over time. Our findings may open the door to downstream applications that require stylistic representations, such as style transfer.

• UIT-HWDB: Using Transferring Method to Construct A Novel Benchmark for Evaluating Unconstrained Handwriting Image Recognition in Vietnamese [2.8360662552057323]
  In Vietnamese, besides the modern Latin characters, there are accent and letter marks together with characters that draw confusion to state-of-the-art handwriting recognition methods. As a low-resource language, there are not many datasets for researching handwriting recognition in Vietnamese. Recent works evaluated offline handwriting recognition methods in Vietnamese using images from an online handwriting dataset constructed by connecting pen stroke coordinates without further processing. This paper proposes the Transferring method to construct a handwriting image dataset that associates crucial natural attributes required for offline handwriting images.

• PART: Pre-trained Authorship Representation Transformer [64.78260098263489]
  Authors writing documents imprint identifying information within their texts: vocabulary, registry, punctuation, misspellings, or even emoji usage. Previous works use hand-crafted features or classification tasks to train their authorship models, leading to poor performance on out-of-domain authors. We propose a contrastively trained model fit to learn textbfauthorship embeddings instead of semantics.

  We propose to recognize artistic text at three levels. corner points are applied to guide the extraction of local features inside characters, considering the robustness of corner structures to appearance and shape. Secondly, we design a character contrastive loss to model the character-level feature, improving the feature representation for character classification. Thirdly, we utilize Transformer to learn the global feature on image-level and model the global relationship of the corner points.
