A stochastic model of stroke order variation is proposed and applied to the stroke-order free on-line Kanji character recognition. The proposed model is a hidden Markov model (HMM...
Structural information about a document is essential for structured query processing, indexing, and retrieval. A document page can be partitioned into a hierarchy of homogeneous r...
Using discrete Hidden-Markov-Models (HMMs) for recognition requires the quantization of the continuous feature vectors. In handwritten whiteboard note recognition it turns out tha...
Corpus-based dialogue systems rely on statistical models, whose parameters are inferred from annotated dialogues. The dialogues are usually annotated using Dialogue Acts (DA), and...
