• Abstract: In this work, our objective is to address the problems of generalization and flexibility for text recognition in documents. We introduce a new model that exploits the repetitive nature of characters in languages, and decouples the visual representation learning and linguistic modelling stages. By doing this, we turn text recognition into a shape matching problem, and thereby achieve generalization in appearance and flexibility in classes. We evaluate the new model on both synthetic and real datasets across different alphabets and show that it can handle challenges that traditional architectures are not able to solve without expensive retraining, including: (i) it can generalize to unseen fonts without new exemplars from them; (ii) it can flexibly change the number of classes, simply by changing the exemplars provided; and (iii) it can generalize to new languages and new characters that it has not been trained for by providing a new glyph set. We show significant improvements over state-of-the-art models for all these cases.

  We present a suite of experiments that allow us to understand the underlying challenges of language model adaptation to nonstandard text. We do so by designing interventions that approximate several types of linguistic variation and their interactions with existing biases of language models. Applying our interventions during language model adaptation with varying size and nature of training data, we gain important insights into when knowledge transfer can be successful.
