    Multi-input and Multi-variable systems

    Cruise control systems in cars are designed as multi-input systems to maintain a driver's desired speed while compensating for external disturbances such as changes in terrain. The block diagram for a cruise control system typically includes two main inputs: the desired speed set by the driver and any external disturbances, such as the incline of the road. By adjusting the engine throttle, the system maintains the vehicle's speed as close to the desired value as possible.

    This study combines three handwriting recognizers, using Hidden Markov Models (HMM) with contextual information for efficient word recognition. This approach significantly improves accuracy on Latin and Arabic handwritten word databases.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Science
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Pattern Recognition

    Background:

    • Handwriting recognition systems require robust modeling of writing units.
    • Integrating dynamic and contextual information is crucial for improving accuracy.
    • Existing methods may not fully leverage contextual dependencies in handwriting.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an efficient word recognition system by combining multiple handwriting recognizers.
    • To enhance a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based recognizer with contextual information.
    • To reduce model complexity while improving recognition performance.

    Main Methods:

    • A combined system using three handwriting recognizers, with a core HMM-based component.
    • A state-tying process utilizing decision tree clustering for contextual unit modeling.

    Interaction between Phonological and Semantic Processes in Visual Word Recognition using Electrophysiology

    Published on: June 29, 2021

  • Decision trees built using expert-based questions (global and precise) to cluster character models.

    • Main Results:

    • Clustering reduced the number of models and Gaussian densities by a factor of 10.
    • Contextual information, combined with dynamic modeling, significantly boosted recognition accuracy.
    • Successful experiments conducted on diverse Latin and Arabic handwriting databases (Rimes, IAM, OpenHart).

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed HMM-based system effectively integrates dynamic and contextual information for superior handwriting recognition.
    • Decision tree-based state-tying offers an efficient method for modeling contextual units in handwriting.
    • The combined approach demonstrates significant improvements in handwritten word recognition across multiple languages.
