Abstract

This paper describes a framework for the automatic web-based evaluation and deployment of pattern recognizers. Several usage modes are identified and the issues and tradeoffs involved in designing web-based evaluation systems are discussed. The system operates by exchanging XML messages between a recognition client and an evaluation server. HTTP POST is used for message exchange, which works through most firewalls.To use the system a researcher downloads a simple evaluation client, and then uses this client to invoke their recognizer. The recognizer must implement a simple problem-specificinterface. The system is illustrated with the aid of a sequence recognition example.
