Self-adaptive handwriting recognition using self-supervised learning

The aim of this thesis will be to look at self-supervised learning in order to take advantage of unsu-pervised examples for handwriting recognition. In recent years, a great deal of work has focused onself-supervised approaches for network pre-training. Starting with a pretext task that does not requiremanual annotation, the model…
