摘要
This paper investigates the application of the probabilistic discriminative based Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) and its extension the hidden-states CRFs (HCRFs) to the problem of off-line Arabic handwriting recognition. A CRFs- and A HCRFs- based classifiers are built on top of an explicit word segmentation module using two different set of shape description features. A simple yet effective taxonomization technique is used to reduce the number of the class labels, and 3000 letter samples from IESK-arDB database are used for the training and 300 words are used for the evaluation. Experiments compare the performance of the CRFs to the HCRFs as well as to that of a generative based HMMs. Results indicate superiority of discriminative based approaches, where HCRFs achieved the best performance followed by CRFs.
