LPR-MNIST dataset

Description We introduce LPR-MNIST, a synthetic dataset replicating the key aspects of syntax evolution on vehicle license plates. LPR-MNIST is a collection of 100,000 synthetic image-text pairs, generated by concatenating 5 black-and-white digits from MNIST, each padded to 32 x 32. 32 pixels of zero-padding are then randomly shared between…

Ph-D of Killian Barrere

Defended on Decembre 20th 2023 Architectures de Transformer légères pour la reconnaissance de textes manuscrits anciens Transformer architectures deliver low error rates but are challenging to train due to limited annotated data in handwritten text recognition. We propose lightweight Transformer architectures to adapt to the limited amounts of annotated handwritten…

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…
