In this paper, the problem of estimating the Intrinsic Dimension of a data set is investigated. A fractal-based approach using the Grassberger-Procaccia algorithm is proposed. Since the Grassberger-Procaccia algorithm performs badly on sets of high dimensi ...
This work presents an Offline Cursive Word Recognition System dealing with single writer samples. The system is a continuous density hiddden Markov model trained using either the raw data, or data transformed using Principal Component Analysis or Independe ...

Although many Offline Cursive Word Recognition systems are based on HMMs, no attention was ever paid, to our knowledge, to the fact that the feature vectors are typically not in the most suitable form for modeling. They are most of the time correlated and ...
Spoken Document Retrieval (SDR) consists in retrieving segments of a speech database that are relevant to a query. The state-of-the-art approach to the SDR problem consists in transcribing the speech data into digital text before applying common Informatio ...
This work presents a system for the categorization of noisy texts. By noisy it is meant any text obtained through an extraction process (affected by errors) from media different than digital texts. We show that, even with an average Word Error Rate of arou ...
This paper presents a system for the offline recognition of large vocabulary unconstrained handwritten texts. The only assumption made about the data is that it is written in English. This allows the application of Statistical Language Models in order to i ...
This report describes the handwriting recognition demo on Linux and Windows. In the demo, we develop a prototype system of office management that provides pen-driven access to IDIAP people information, such as names, telephone numbers and nationalities thr ...
This thesis presents a PhD work on offline cursive handwriting recognition, the automatic transcription of cursive data when only its image is available. Two main approaches were used in the literature to solve the problem. The first one attempts to segmen ...
This paper presents a cursive character recognizer, a crucial module in any Cursive Script Recognition system based on a segmentation and recognition approach. The character classification is achieved by combining the use of Neural Gas (NG) and Learning Ve ...
