TLDR
A new interactive, on-line framework which, rather than full automation, aims at assisting the human in the proper recognition- transcription process; that is, facilitate and speed up their transcription task of handwritten texts.Abstract:
To date, automatic handwriting recognition systems are far from being perfect and often they need a post editing where a human intervention is required to check and correct the results of such systems. We propose to have a new interactive, on-line framework which, rather than full automation, aims at assisting the human in the proper recognition- transcription process; that is, facilitate and speed up their transcription task of handwritten texts. This framework combines the efficiency of automatic handwriting recognition systems with the accuracy of the human transcriptor. The best result is a cost-effective perfect transcription of the handwriting text images.read more

Multimodal interactive transcription of text images
TL;DR: A multimodal interactive approach is proposed here where user feedback is provided by means of touchscreen pen strokes and/or more traditional keyboard and mouse operation to improve system accuracy, while multimodality increases system ergonomy and user acceptability.

Multimodal Interactive Pattern Recognition and Applications
TL;DR: This book presents a different approach to pattern recognition (PR) systems, in which users of a system are involved during the recognition process, to help to avoid later errors and reduce the costs associated with post-processing.

Quality control mechanisms for crowdsourcing: peer review, arbitration, & expertise at familysearch indexing
TL;DR: This work shows the relationship between prior experience and native language on transcriber agreement, and presents a field experiment comparing the effectiveness (accuracy) and efficiency (time) of two quality control mechanisms.

Estimation of probabilities from sparse data for the language model component of a speech recognizer
TL;DR: The model offers, via a nonlinear recursive procedure, a computation and space efficient solution to the problem of estimating probabilities from sparse data, and compares favorably to other proposed methods.

Improved backing-off for M-gram language modeling

TL;DR: This paper proposes to use distributions which are especially optimized for the task of back-off, which are quite different from the probability distributions that are usually used for backing-off.
