TLDR
New methods for the creation of classifier ensembles based on feature selection algorithms are introduced, and are evaluated and compared to existing approaches in the context of handwritten word recognition, using a hidden Markov model recognizer as basic classifier.
Abstract
The study of multiple classifier systems has become an area of intensive research in pattern recognition. Also in handwriting, recognition, systems combining several classifiers have been investigated. In the paper new methods for the creation of classifier ensembles based on feature selection algorithms are introduced. These new methods are evaluated and compared to existing approaches in the context of handwritten word recognition, using a hidden Markov model recognizer as basic classifier.

Towards Bridging the Gap between Statistical and Structural Pattern Recognition: Two New Concepts in Graph Matching

TL;DR: It is argued that with these new concepts various well-established techniques from statistical pattern recognition become applicable in the structural domain, particularly to graph representations, including k-means clustering, vector quantization, and Kohonen maps.

A tutorial on hidden Markov models and selected applications in speech recognition

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the basic theory of hidden Markov models (HMMs) as originated by L.E. Baum and T. Petrie (1966) and give practical details on methods of implementation of the theory along with a description of selected applications of HMMs to distinct problems in speech recognition.
