Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While handwriting recognition tasks for Latin script based languages have received considerable attention, far less work has been done on the Arabic script. Arabic poses some unique challenges, such as a larger character set, the presence of dots and diacritics, and intra-word whitespace regions. Machine learning approaches have the potential to significantly improve state of the art Arabic handwriting recognition results. This dissertation presents several such machine learning techniques, such as writer adaptation and segmentation free unconstrained text processing. We integrate these techniques into novel algorithms for general recognition, word spotting, and transcript mapping. Writer adaptation or specialization is the adjustment of handwriting recognition algorithms to a specific writer's style of handwriting. Such adjustment yields significantly improved recognition rates over a generalized recognition counterpart algorithms. Specialization is commonly used in online Latin script handwriting applications, such as for tablet computers or PDAs. Some rudimentary offline Latin script adaptation methods have been proposed recently in the literature as well. Handwriting adaptation for the Arabic script, however, is unexplored. An iterative bootstrapping model is presented which adapts a writer-independent model to a writer-dependent model using a small number of words achieving a large recognition rate increase in the process. Furthermore, a confidence weighting method is described which generates better results by weighting words based on their length. Script features unique to Arabic are discussed, as well as they are incorporated into the adaptation process. Even though Arabic has many more character classes than languages such as English, significant improvement is observed. One issue common to Arabic recognition tasks is generating candidate word regions on a page. Attempting to definitely segment the document into such regions (automatic segmentation) can meet with some success, but the performance of such an algorithm is often a limiting factor in spotting performance. Another approach is to directly scan the image on the page without attempting to generate such a definite segmentation. Such segmentation-free approaches result in better recognition at a performance cost. The algorithms discussed are tested using a database of truthed, page-length, handwritten Arabic documents. Where applicable, the literature standard IFN/ENIT database is used for testing as well. We validate our approaches by exploring the implications on such tasks as word spotting (attempting to find a query word or image and placement in a set of documents), transcript mapping (the automatic alignment of a handwritten document with its machine readable transcript), and general unconstrained recognition. Novel algorithms for these tasks are also presented. Specifically, contributions in this dissertation include novel descriptions of machine learning algorithms applied to Arabic handwriting recognition problems and quantification of the improvement generated by their usage. Examples of such algorithms include writer adaptation, versatile search, and the advantage and trade offs gained by processing such tasks as word spotting in a segmentation-free fashion instead of a segmentation-based manner.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is the process of identifying text in an image or a scanned document and convert it into a digital form. OCR systems have been used widely to convert images that have written content either printed or handwritten. Not only do they make viewing and sharing scanned documents easier, but they also allow searching through documents or images' content in a fast and successful manner. Over the course, a great number of approaches and techniques have been attempted to maximize the performance and reduce the error rate in multi-language OCR systems. However, Arabic language's recognition system still has some challenges and difficulties. The output of an Arabic Optical Character Recognition (AOCR) system is usually vague and unpredictable due to that fact that most Arabic characters are considered multi-object characters. Moreover, many systems and applications do not fully support Arabic language. Therefore, efforts and hard work should be done to implement a system that is able to fully support Arabic language, especially Arabic handwritten characters. Even though research shows good results of machine-printed texts, Arabic handwritten recognition still needs improvements and amendments. To avert the unreliability of handwritten recognition systems, three research studies were conducted. In addition, a unique dataset is built specifically to train and test the efficiency and reliability of the systems. First, a survey research is conducted to understand what the AOCR field has, and what have been done so far. After obtaining the required knowledge, the first Arabic Handwritten Optical Character Recognition (AHOCR) system is developed based on a boundary descriptor algorithm called Freeman chain code. The Freeman chain code is an external representation used to describe an object based on its boundaries. The well-known chain code was chosen because Arabic characters are written in a cursive style and Freeman chain code can provide some crucial information that can be used to measure the curviness of a character, such as perimeter and circularity. Because some Arabic characters have diacritics and dots, a bounding box, which is the smallest box containing a character, is used to capture all the small parts of a character and group them into one small glyph. It should be noted that the bounding box is the smallest possible box containing a character, including holes, dots and symbols. This method is responsible for dividing the entire image into small pieces called "glyphs". The system can recognize most Arabic characters, yet some cursive characters, where multiple cursive lines overlapped, were not identified correctly. Therefore, another AHOCR system is developed, and it is based on Freeman chain code and Tangent Line & Change in Tangent. The main aim of using this method is to measure the rate of change of a cursive line and divide the character into sub-objects. Therefore, the number of sub-objects determines the correct class of the character being checked. By using Tangent Line, the system was able to recognize curvy characters that cannot be recognized using the previous method of encoded Freeman chain code. It has been determined that the method of Tangent Line & Change in Tangent can correct most misclassifications that happened because of using Freeman chain code method. The need for a fast and reliable AHOCR system arose when the previous systems misclassified some characters. Also, calculating the Freeman chain code and measuring the change of rate is time consuming. Therefore, a third AHOCR system that uses machine learning model is developed based on Support Vector Machine (SVM). The system uses Normalized Central Moments (NCM) as well as Local Binary Patterns (LBP) as feature extraction to recognize isolated Arabic handwritten characters. Furthermore, the bounding box is also used in the pre-recognition stage to find the main body of each character along with any auxiliary parts that are associated with it. The proposed algorithm has proved that not only has a higher recognition rate, but also performs better when combining multiple features. Even though there were some difficulties when identifying similar characters, the overall recognition system appeared to be good enough comparing to the difficulties of Arabic language in general. This dissertation represents an extensive survey of Arabic language characters and its difficulties. Further, three AHOCR systems with different algorithms are described in detail to accurately identify isolated Arabic handwritten characters. It also provides a detailed explanation of the experimental results and discusses the limitations and future work

This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Download or read book The Psychology of Reading written by Insup Taylor and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychology of Reading provides a fair and coherent overall picture of how reading is done and how it is best taught. It aims to relate reading to writing systems, analyze the process of reading from several viewpoints using research from diverse disciplines, and develop a model of reading to explain reading processes all the way from letter recognition to reading whole texts. The book describes how children learn to read in different scripts, by different methods, and at different ages. It discusses different components of reading—eye movements, letter and word recognition, sentence and prose reading, and so on, in beginning readers, in skilled or unskilled readers, as well as dyslexic readers. Brain-damaged patients with selective impairment of different components provide a ""natural laboratory"" to compare reading processes within one script as well as across different scripts. The more types of readers, scripts, and components examined, the better the picture of reading processes drawn. This book is a text for college students as well as a reference book for professionals in psychology, education, linguistics, and other related fields.
