TLDR
A neural network algorithm that simultaneously performs segmentation and recognition of input patterns that self-organizes to detect input pattern locations and pattern boundaries and simultaneously segments and recognizes touching characters, overlapping characters, broken characters, and noisy images with high accuracy is presented.
Abstract
We present a neural network algorithm that simultaneously performs segmentation and recognition of input patterns that self-organizes to detect input pattern locations and pattern boundaries. We outline the algorithm and demonstrate this neural network architecture and algorithm on character recognition using the NIST database and report results herein. The resulting system simultaneously segments and recognizes touching characters, overlapping characters, broken characters, and noisy images with high accuracy. We also detail some of the characteristics of the algorithm on an artificial database in the appendix.© (1992) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

Neural network lipreading system for improved speech recognition

TL;DR: A modified time-delay neural network (TDNN) has been designed to perform both automatic lipreading (speech reading) in conjunction with acoustic speech recognition in order to improve recognition both in silent environments as well as in the presence of acoustic noise.

Sentiment Analysis of Peer Review Texts for Scholarly Papers

TL;DR: This paper investigates the task of automatically predicting the overall recommendation/decision and further identifying the sentences with positive and negative sentiment polarities from a peer review text written by a reviewer for a paper submission and proposes a multiple instance learning network with a novel abstract-based memory mechanism (MILAM) to address this challenging task.

The recognition of handwritten numeral strings using a two-stage HMM-based method

TL;DR: A two-stage HMM-based recognition method that compensates for the possible loss in terms of recognition performance caused by the necessary trade-off between segmentation and recognition in an implicit segmentation-based strategy.

Integrated Segmentation and Recognition of Hand-Printed Numerals

TL;DR: A neural network algorithm that simultaneously segments and recognizes in an integrated system that uses a supervised learning algorithm (backpropagation), but is able to take position-independent information as targets and self-organize the activities of the units in a competitive fashion to infer the positional information.

Recognizing Hand-Printed Letters and Digits

TL;DR: It is suggested that a large and representative training sample may be the single, most important factor in achieving high recognition accuracy, and doubts about the relevance to backpropagation of learning models that estimate the likelihood of high generalization from estimates of capacity are raised.
