• Title: Leveraging Structure Knowledge and Deep Models for the Detection of Abnormal Handwritten Text
• Authors: Zi-Rui Wang,
• Abstract summary: We propose a two-stage detection algorithm that combines structure knowledge and deep models for handwritten text. A shape regression network trained by a novel semi-supervised contrast training strategy is introduced and the positional relationship between the characters is fully employed. Experiments on two handwritten text datasets show that the proposed method can greatly improve the detection performance.

• Abstract: Currently, the destruction of the sequence structure in handwritten text has become one of the main bottlenecks restricting the recognition task. The typical situations include additional specific markers (the text swapping modification) and the text overlap caused by character modifications like deletion, replacement, and insertion. In this paper, we propose a two-stage detection algorithm that combines structure knowledge and deep models for the above mentioned text. Firstly, different structure prototypes are roughly located from handwritten text images. Based on the detection results of the first stage, in the second stage, we adopt different strategies. Specifically, a shape regression network trained by a novel semi-supervised contrast training strategy is introduced and the positional relationship between the characters is fully employed. Experiments on two handwritten text datasets show that the proposed method can greatly improve the detection performance. The new dataset is available at https://github.com/Wukong90.

  We present Text Grouping Adapter (TGA), a module that can enable the utilization of various pre-trained text detectors to learn layout analysis. Our comprehensive experiments demonstrate that, even with frozen pre-trained models, incorporating our TGA into various pre-trained text detectors and text spotters can achieve superior layout analysis performance.

  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.
