• Abstract: Script identification and text recognition are some of the major domains in the application of Artificial Intelligence. In this era of digitalization, the use of digital note-taking has become a common practice. Still, conventional methods of using pen and paper is a prominent way of writing. This leads to the classification of scripts based on the method they are obtained. A survey on the current methodologies and state-of-art methods used for processing and identification would prove beneficial for researchers. The aim of this article is to discuss the advancement in the techniques for script pre-processing and text recognition. In India there are twelve prominent Indic scripts, unlike the English language, these scripts have layers of characteristics. Complex characteristics such as similarity in text shape make them difficult to recognize and analyze, thus this requires advance preprocessing methods for their accurate recognition. A sincere attempt is made in this survey to provide a comparison between all algorithms. We hope that this survey would provide insight to a researcher working not only on Indic scripts but also other languages.

  This paper proposes a method that leverages linguistic knowledge from a large text corpus to replace the traditional one-hot encoding used in auto-regressive scene text spotting and recognition models. We generate text distributions that align well with scene text datasets, removing the need for in-domain fine-tuning. Experimental results show that our method not only improves recognition accuracy but also enables more accurate localization of words.

  We propose a two-stage framework for Chinese Text Recognition (CTR) We pre-train a CLIP-like model through aligning printed character images and Ideographic Description Sequences (IDS) This pre-training stage simulates humans recognizing Chinese characters and obtains the canonical representation of each character. The learned representations are employed to supervise the CTR model, such that traditional single-character recognition can be improved to text-line recognition.

• Separate Scene Text Detector for Unseen Scripts is Not All You Need [12.848024214330234]
  In the last decade, some scripts have gained the attention of the research community and achieved good detection performance. Many scripts are low-resourced for training deep learning-based scene text detectors. It raises a critical question: Is there a need for separate training for new scripts? This paper acknowledges this problem and proposes a solution to detect scripts not present during training.

  We explore the potential of continual self-supervised learning to alleviate the catastrophic forgetting problem in handwritten text recognition. Our method consists in adding intermediate layers called adapters for each task, and efficiently distilling knowledge from the previous model while learning the current task. We attain state-of-the-art performance on English, Italian and Russian scripts, whilst adding only a few parameters per task.

  Writer identification refers to the classification of known writers while writer retrieval seeks to find the writer by means of image similarity in a dataset of images. While automatic writer identification/retrieval methods already provide promising results for many historical document types, papyri data is very challenging due to the fiber structures and severe artifacts. We investigate several methods and show that a good binarization is key to an improved writer identification in papyri writings.

  Both politics and pandemics have recently provided ample motivation for the development of machine learning-enabled disinformation (a.k.a. fake news) detection algorithms. Existing literature has focused primarily on the fully-automated case, but the resulting techniques cannot reliably detect disinformation on the varied topics, sources, and time scales required for military applications. By leveraging an already-available analyst as a human-in-the-loop, canonical machine learning techniques of sentiment analysis, aspect-based sentiment analysis, and stance detection become plausible methods to use for a partially-automated disinformation detection system.
