OFF-LINE HANDWRITING RECOGNITION BY RECURRENT ERROR PROPAGATION NETWORKS
A. W. Senior and F. Fallside
Recent years have seen an upsurge of interest in computer handwriting recognition as a means of making computers accessible to a wider range of people. A complete system for off-line, automatic recognition of handwriting is described, which takes word images scanned from a handwritten page and produces word-level output. Normalisation and preprocessing methods are described and details of the recurrent error propagation network and Viterbi decoder used for recognition are given. Results are reported and compared with those presented by researchers using other methods.

We have attempted to provide automatically generated PDF copies of documents for which only PostScript versions have previously been available. These are clearly marked in the database - due to the nature of the automatic conversion process, they are likely to be badly aliased when viewed at default resolution on screen by acroread.
