• Abstract: Language students can increase their effectiveness in learning written Japanese by mastering the visual structure and written technique of Japanese kanji. Yet, existing kanji handwriting recognition systems do not assess the written technique sufficiently enough to discourage students from developing bad learning habits. In this paper, we describe our work on Hashigo, a kanji sketch interactive system which achieves human instructor-level critique and feedback on both the visual structure and written technique of students' sketched kanji. This type of automated critique and feedback allows students to target and correct specific deficiencies in their sketches that, if left untreated, are detrimental to effective long-term kanji learning.

  Kanji script writing is often introduced to novice Japanese foreign language students for achieving Japanese writing mastery. Instructors often introduce various pedagogical methods -- such as visual structure and written techniques -- to assist students in kanji study. Current educational applications are also limited due to lacking richer instructor-emulated feedback.

  Diffusion-based text-to-image models have demonstrated impressive achievements in diversity and aesthetics but struggle to generate images with visual texts. Existing backbone models have limitations such as misspelling, failing to generate texts, and lack of support for Chinese text. We propose a series of methods, aiming to empower backbone models to generate visual texts in English and Chinese.

  We propose a self-supervised contrastive learning framework to excavate rich context via spatial-temporal consistency. Inspired by the complementary property of motion and joint modalities, we first introduce first-order motion information into sign language modeling. Our method is evaluated with extensive experiments on four public benchmarks, and achieves new state-of-the-art performance with a notable margin.

  We apply this work to teaching two Indian languages, Kannada and Marathi, which do not have well-developed resources for second language learning. We extract descriptions from a natural text corpus that answer questions about morphosyntax (learning of word order, agreement, case marking, or word formation) and semantics (learning of vocabulary). We enlist the help of language educators from schools in North America to perform a manual evaluation, who find the materials have potential to be used for their lesson preparation and learner evaluation.

  In Vietnamese, besides the modern Latin characters, there are accent and letter marks together with characters that draw confusion to state-of-the-art handwriting recognition methods. As a low-resource language, there are not many datasets for researching handwriting recognition in Vietnamese. Recent works evaluated offline handwriting recognition methods in Vietnamese using images from an online handwriting dataset constructed by connecting pen stroke coordinates without further processing. This paper proposes the Transferring method to construct a handwriting image dataset that associates crucial natural attributes required for offline handwriting images.

For the lack of training data, we propose a random text line erasure approach that randomly erases text lines and distorts documents.
