Abstract

This paper presents a lexical post-processing optimizationfor handwritten word recognition. The aim of thiswork is to explore the combination of different lexical post-processingapproaches in order to optimize the recognitionrate, the recognition time and memory requirements. Thepresent method focuses on the following tasks: a lexiconorganization with word filtering, based on holistic word featuresto deal with large vocabulary (creation of static sublexiconcompressed in a trie structure); a dedicated stringmatching algorithm for on-line handwriting (to compensatethe recognition and the segmentation errors); and a specificexploration strategy of the results provided by the analyticalword recognition process.Experimental results are reported using several lexiconsizes (about 1,000; 7,000 and 25,000 entries) to evaluate differentoptimization strategies according to the recognitionrate, computational cost and memory requirements.
