• Abstract: A considerable amount of success has been achieved in developing monolingual OCR systems for Indic scripts. But in a country like India, where multi-script scenario is prevalent, identifying scripts beforehand becomes obligatory. In this paper, we present the significance of Gabor wavelets filters in extracting directional energy and entropy distributions for 11 official handwritten scripts namely, Bangla, Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurumukhi, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu and Roman. The experimentation is conducted at block level based on a quad-tree decomposition approach and evaluated using six different well-known classifiers. Finally, the best identification accuracy of 96.86% has been achieved by Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) classifier for 3-fold cross validation at level-2 decomposition. The results serve to establish the efficacy of the present approach to the classification of handwritten Indic scripts

  This study focuses on the Chu bamboo slip (CBS) script used during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period (771-256 BCE) in Ancient China. Our tokenizer first adopts character detection to locate character boundaries, and then conducts character recognition at both the character and sub-character levels. To support the academic community, we have also assembled the first large-scale dataset of CBSs with over 100K annotated character image scans.

  Authorship Attribution is the task of creating an appropriate characterization of text to identify the original author of a given piece of text. Despite significant advancements in other languages such as English, Spanish, and Chinese, Bangla lacks comprehensive research in this field. Existing systems are not scalable when the number of author increases, and the performance drops for small number of samples per author.

  We represent each Chinese character as a stroke tree, which is organized according to its radical structures. We propose a two-stage decomposition framework, where a Feature-to-Radical Decoder perceives radical structures and radical regions. A Radical-to-Stroke Decoder further predicts the stroke sequences according to the features of radical regions.

  This paper focuses on the coarse-grained technical domain identification of short text documents in Marathi, a Devanagari script-based Indian language. A hybrid CNN-BiLSTM attention ensemble model is proposed that competently combines the intermediate sentence representations generated by the convolutional neural network and the bidirectional long short-term memory, leading to efficient text classification. Experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms various baseline machine learning and deep learning models in the given task, giving the best validation accuracy of 89.57% and f1-score of 0.8875.
