• Abstract summary: In this paper, deep neural networks are utilized through various DensNet architectures, as well as the Xception. We come up with an optical character recognition accounting for the particularities of the Persian language and the corresponding handwritings. On the HODA database, we achieve recognition rates of 99.72% and 89.99% for digits and characters, being 99.72%, 98.32% and 98.82% for digits, characters and words.

• Abstract: Digit, letter and word recognition for a particular script has various applications in todays commercial contexts. Nevertheless, only a limited number of relevant studies have dealt with Persian scripts. In this paper, deep neural networks are utilized through various DensNet architectures, as well as the Xception, are adopted, modified and further boosted through data augmentation and test time augmentation, in order to come up with an optical character recognition accounting for the particularities of the Persian language and the corresponding handwritings. Taking advantage of dividing the databases to training, validation and test sets, as well as k-fold cross validation, the comparison of the proposed method with various state-of-the-art alternatives is performed on the basis of the HODA and Sadri databases, which offer the most comprehensive collection of samples in terms of the various handwriting styles possessed by different human beings, as well as different forms each letter may take, which depend on its position within a word. On the HODA database, we achieve recognition rates of 99.72% and 89.99% for digits and characters, being 99.72%, 98.32% and 98.82% for digits, characters and words from the Sadri database, respectively.

• 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 use personal identity numbers consisting of the six digits of the date of birth, DoB. We evaluate two recognition approaches, one based on handcrafted features that compute directional measurements, and another based on deep features from a ResNet50 model. Results show the presence of identity-related information in a piece of handwritten information as small as six digits with the DoB.
