An Open Source Testing Tool for Evaluating Handwriting Input Methods
This paper presents an open source tool for testing the recognition accuracy
of Chinese handwriting input methods. The tool consists of two modules, namely
the PC and Android mobile client. The PC client reads handwritten samples in
the computer, and transfers them individually to the Android client in
accordance with the socket communication protocol. After the Android client
receives the data, it simulates the handwriting on screen of client device, and
triggers the corresponding handwriting recognition method. The recognition
accuracy is recorded by the Android client. We present the design principles
and describe the implementation of the test platform. We construct several test
datasets for evaluating different handwriting recognition systems, and conduct
an objective and comprehensive test using six Chinese handwriting input methods
with five datasets. The test results for the recognition accuracy are then
compared and analyzed.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 11 tables. Accepted to appear at ICDAR 201
Character-level Convolutional Networks for Text Classification
This article offers an empirical exploration on the use of character-level
convolutional networks (ConvNets) for text classification. We constructed
several large-scale datasets to show that character-level convolutional
networks could achieve state-of-the-art or competitive results. Comparisons are
offered against traditional models such as bag of words, n-grams and their
TFIDF variants, and deep learning models such as word-based ConvNets and
recurrent neural networks.Comment: An early version of this work entitled "Text Understanding from
Scratch" was posted in Feb 2015 as arXiv:1502.01710. The present paper has
considerably more experimental results and a rewritten introduction, Advances
