Abstract

We propose in this paper a new contextual modelling method for combining syntactic and structural information for the recognition of online handwritten mathematical expressions. Those models are used to find the most likely combination of segmentation/recognition hypotheses proposed by a 2D segment or. Models are based on structural information concerning the layouts of symbols. They are learned from a mathematical expressions dataset to prevent the use of heuristic rules which are fuzzy by nature. The system is tested with a large base of synthetic expressions and also with a set of real complex expressions.
