• Authors: Adrian Leo Hagstr\"om, Rustam Stanikzai, Josef Bigun, Fernando Alonso-Fernandez
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Block characters are often used when filling paper forms for a variety of purposes. We investigate if there is biometric information contained within individual digits of handwritten text. In particular, 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 contour directional measurements, and another based on deep features from a ResNet50 model. We use a self-captured database of 317 individuals and 4920 written DoBs in total. Results show the presence of identity-related information in a piece of handwritten information as small as six digits with the DoB. We also analyze the impact of the amount of enrolment samples, varying its number between one and ten. Results with such small amount of data are promising. With ten enrolment samples, the Top-1 accuracy with deep features is around 94%, and reaches nearly 100% by Top-10. The verification accuracy is more modest, with EER>20%with any given feature and enrolment set size, showing that there is still room for improvement.

  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 present our attempt to adapt deep neural network-based handwriting recognizers trained on a labeled handwriting dataset into this unlabeled answer set.

  We focus on a novel problem, letter-level online writer-id, which requires only a few trajectories of written letters as identification cues. A main challenge is that a person often writes a letter in different styles from time to time. We refer to this problem as the variance of online writing styles (Var-O-Styles)
