The DIDI dataset: Digital Ink Diagram data

Philippe Gervais, Thomas Deselaers, Emre Aksan et al.

We are releasing a dataset of diagram drawings with dynamic drawing information. The dataset aims to foster research in interactive graphical symbolic understanding. The dataset was obtained using a prompted data collection effort.

Fast Multi-language LSTM-based Online Handwriting Recognition

Victor Carbune, Pedro Gonnet, Thomas Deselaers et al.

We describe an online handwriting system that is able to support 102 languages using a deep neural network architecture. This new system has completely replaced our previous Segment-and-Decode-based system and reduced the error rate by 20%-40% relative for most languages. Further, we report new state-of-the-art results on IAM-OnDB for both the open and closed dataset setting. The system combines methods from sequence recognition with a new input encoding using Bézier curves. This leads to up to 10x faster recognition times compared to our previous system. Through a series of experiments we determine the optimal configuration of our models and report the results of our setup on a number of additional public datasets.
