This study introduces Monk, a novel web-based system for handwriting recognition. It uses biologically inspired methods to efficiently label handwritten documents, overcoming limitations of current approaches with limited data.

Area of Science:

Computer Vision
Computational Neuroscience
Digital Humanities

Background:

Current handwriting recognition methods are cumbersome and require extensive training for new datasets.
Lack of labeled data and script/style variations pose significant challenges for automated recognition.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an efficient, biologically inspired whole-word recognition method for handwritten collections.
To minimize human labor in labeling massive amounts of image data using a web-based annotation system.

Main Methods:

Proposed a biologically inspired whole-word recognition approach.
Developed Monk, a live, web-based annotation system for incremental label elicitation.
Applied computational models of neuro-physiology of vision for text-image classification.

Main Results:

The primate cortex-like mechanism effectively classifies low-frequency text-images, often containing critical named entities.
The proposed system demonstrates promising results compared to standard normalized word-image matching.
Successfully addresses challenges posed by limited labeled instances in pattern recognition.

Conclusions:

The biologically inspired whole-word recognition method shows significant promise for efficient handwritten collection access.
Monk system effectively reduces manual labor for large-scale image data annotation.
This approach offers a robust solution for recognizing difficult text-images where traditional methods fail.
