• Authors: Jasmine Kaur and Vinay Kumar
• Abstract summary: We present a novel technique for automatic transliteration of Devanagari script using character recognition. One of the first tasks performed to isolate the constituent characters is segmentation. Devanagari characters are mapped to corresponding roman alphabets in way that resulting roman alphabets have similar pronunciation to source characters.

• Abstract: Transliteration involves transformation of one script to another based on phonetic similarities between the characters of two distinctive scripts. In this paper, we present a novel technique for automatic transliteration of Devanagari script using character recognition. One of the first tasks performed to isolate the constituent characters is segmentation. Line segmentation methodology in this manuscript discusses the case of overlapping lines. Character segmentation algorithm is designed to segment conjuncts and separate shadow characters. Presented shadow character segmentation scheme employs connected component method to isolate the character, keeping the constituent characters intact. Statistical features namely different order moments like area, variance, skewness and kurtosis along with structural features of characters are employed in two phase recognition process. After recognition, constituent Devanagari characters are mapped to corresponding roman alphabets in way that resulting roman alphabets have similar pronunciation to source characters.

  We propose CHIRON, a new character sheet' based representation that organizes and filters textual information about characters. We validate CHIRON via the downstream task of masked-character prediction, where our experiments show CHIRON is better and more flexible than comparable summary-based baselines. metrics derived from CHIRON can be used to automatically infer character-centricity in stories, and that these metrics align with human judgments.

  Direction properties of online strokes are used to analyze them in terms of homogeneous regions or sub-strokes. These properties along with some geometrics are used to extract sub-units from Hindi online handwritten characters. A method is developed to extract point stroke, clockwise curve stroke, counter-clockwise curve stroke and loop stroke segments as sub-units.

  We focus on the scenario where the transcription is known beforehand, in which case the character segmentation becomes an assignment problem. Inspired by the $k$-means clustering algorithm, we view it from the perspective of cluster assignment and present a Transformer-based architecture. In order to assess the quality of our approach, we create character segmentation ground truths for two popular on-line handwriting datasets.

  Simile recognition involves two subtasks: simile sentence classification that discriminates whether a sentence contains simile, and simile component extraction that locates the corresponding objects. Recent work ignores features other than surface strings. We study two types of features: 1) input-side features that include POS tags, dependency trees and word definitions, and 2) decoding features that capture the interdependence among various decoding decisions.

  We propose a novel module called Multi-Domain Character Distance Perception (MDCDP) to establish a visually and semantically related position embedding. MDCDP uses the position embedding to query both visual and semantic features following the cross-attention mechanism. We develop CDistNet that stacks multiple MDCDPs to guide a gradually precise distance modeling.
