title = "Transcript mapping for handwritten text lines using conditional random fields",
abstract = "This paper presents a conditional random field (CRF) model for aligning online handwritten Chinese/Japanese text lines (character strings) with the corresponding transcripts. The CRF model is defined on a lattice which contains all possible segmentation hypotheses. The feature functions characterize the shape and context dependences of characters, including the scores of character recognition and the geometric compatibilities between characters. The combining parameters are optimized by energy minimization. Experimental results on two online databases: CASIA-OLHWDB and TUAT Kondate demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.",
