Abstract

Documents of the last few decades typically include more than one kind of language, so linguistic classification of each word is essential, especially in terms of English and Korean in handwritten documents. Traditional methods mostly use conventional features of structural or stroke features, but sometimes they fail to identify many characteristics of words because of complexity introduced by handwriting. Therefore, traditional methods lead to a considerably more-complicated task and naturally lead to possibly poor results. In this study, convolutional neural network (CNN) is used for classification of English and Korean handwritten words in text documents. Experimental results reveal that the proposed method works effectively compared to previous methods.
