• Abstract: Oracle bone script (OBS), one of the earliest Chinese writing systems, plays an important role in the study of Chinese etymology. Traditional decipherment relies heavily on domain experts who analyze characters through semantic context and structural evolution. To assist this labor-intensive process, we formulate OBS decipherment assistance as a cross-era image translation task and propose FROD (Feature Matching Residual Denoising Oracle Bone Decipher). Although many OBS characters differ substantially from their modern counterparts, they often preserve local topological invariants at the radical level. During training, FROD leverages fast feature matching to provide gated segmentation supervision: paired samples with sufficient matches are processed patch-wise to align fine-grained radicals, whereas low-similarity pairs are trained holistically to avoid mismatched artifacts. In addition, a Residual Denoising Diffusion Model (RDDM) jointly estimates noise and residual signals, thereby reducing the positional drift and stroke disorder commonly observed in standard diffusion models. Finally, a multi-stage font stylization refinement network refines the generated images by eliminating edge noise and stabilizing stroke structures. On our augmented character-disjoint dataset, FROD achieves higher Top-1 recognition accuracy than the evaluated baselines, with a 3.8% absolute gain over OBSD.

  Existing models are trained on clean data, which causes a textitgap between clean data training and real-world inference. We propose a method from the perspective of domain adaptation, by which both high- and low-quality samples are embedding into similar vector space. Experiments on the widely-used dataset, Snips, and large scale in-house dataset (10 million training examples) demonstrate that this method not only outperforms the baseline models on real-world (noisy) corpus but also enhances the robustness, that is, it produces high-quality results under a noisy environment.
