We describe a novel line-level script identification method. Previous work repurposed an OCR model generating per-character script codes, counted to obtain line-level script identification. This has two shortcomings. First, as a sequence-to-sequence model it is more complex than necessary for the sequence-to-label problem of line script identification. This makes it harder to train and inefficient to run. Second, the counting heuristic may be suboptimal compared to a learned model. Therefore we reframe line script identification as a sequence-to-label problem and solve it using two components, trained end-toend: Encoder and Summarizer. The encoder converts a line image into a feature sequence. The summarizer aggregates the sequence to classify the line. We test various summarizers with identical inception-style convolutional networks as encoders. Experiments on scanned books and photos containing 232 languages in 30 scripts show 16% reduction of script identification error rate compared to the baseline. This improved script identification reduces the character error rate attributable to script misidentification by 33%.

Recent advances in OCR have shown that an end-to-end (E2E) training pipeline that includes both detection and recognition leads to the best results. However, many existing methods focus primarily on Latin-alphabet languages, often even only case-inse
nsitive English characters. In this paper, we propose an E2E approach, Multiplexed Multilingual Mask TextSpotter, that performs script identification at the word level and handles different scripts with different recognition heads, all while maintaining a unified loss that simultaneously optimizes script identification and multiple recognition heads. Experiments show that our method outperforms the single-head model with similar number of parameters in end-to-end recognition tasks, and achieves state-of-the-art results on MLT17 and MLT19 joint text detection and script identification benchmarks. We believe that our work is a step towards the end-to-end trainable and scalable multilingual multi-purpose OCR system. Our code and model will be released.
Label smoothing has been shown to be an effective regularization strategy in classification, that prevents overfitting and helps in label de-noising. However, extending such methods directly to seq2seq settings, such as Machine Translation, is challe
nging: the large target output space of such problems makes it intractable to apply label smoothing over all possible outputs. Most existing approaches for seq2seq settings either do token level smoothing, or smooth over sequences generated by randomly substituting tokens in the target sequence. Unlike these works, in this paper, we propose a technique that smooths over emph{well formed} relevant sequences that not only have sufficient n-gram overlap with the target sequence, but are also emph{semantically similar}. Our method shows a consistent and significant improvement over the state-of-the-art techniques on different datasets.
Multi-lingual script identification is a difficult task consisting of different language with complex backgrounds in scene text images. According to the current research scenario, deep neural networks are employed as teacher models to train a smaller
student network by utilizing the teacher models predictions. This process is known as dark knowledge transfer. It has been quite successful in many domains where the final result obtained is unachievable through directly training the student network with a simple architecture. In this paper, we explore dark knowledge transfer approach using long short-term memory(LSTM) and CNN based assistant model and various deep neural networks as the teacher model, with a simple CNN based student network, in this domain of multi-script identification from natural scene text images. We explore the performance of different teacher models and their ability to transfer knowledge to a student network. Although the small student networks limited size, our approach obtains satisfactory results on a well-known script identification dataset CVSI-2015.
The goal of this paper is the automatic identification of characters in TV and feature film material. In contrast to standard approaches to this task, which rely on the weak supervision afforded by transcripts and subtitles, we propose a new method r
equiring only a cast list. This list is used to obtain images of actors from freely available sources on the web, providing a form of partial supervision for this task. In using images of actors to recognize characters, we make the following three contributions: (i) We demonstrate that an automated semi-supervised learning approach is able to adapt from the actors face to the characters face, including the face context of the hair; (ii) By building voice models for every character, we provide a bridge between frontal faces (for which there is plenty of actor-level supervision) and profile (for which there is very little or none); and (iii) by combining face context and speaker identification, we are able to identify characters with partially occluded faces and extreme facial poses. Results are presented on the TV series Sherlock and the feature film Casablanca. We achieve the state-of-the-art on the Casablanca benchmark, surpassing previous methods that have used the stronger supervision available from transcripts.
Label estimation is an important component in an unsupervised person re-identification (re-ID) system. This paper focuses on cross-camera label estimation, which can be subsequently used in feature learning to learn robust re-ID models. Specifically,
we propose to construct a graph for samples in each camera, and then graph matching scheme is introduced for cross-camera labeling association. While labels directly output from existing graph matching methods may be noisy and inaccurate due to significant cross-camera variations, this paper proposes a dynamic graph matching (DGM) method. DGM iteratively updates the image graph and the label estimation process by learning a better feature space with intermediate estimated labels. DGM is advantageous in two aspects: 1) the accuracy of estimated labels is improved significantly with the iterations; 2) DGM is robust to noisy initial training data. Extensive experiments conducted on three benchmarks including the large-scale MARS dataset show that DGM yields competitive performance to fully supervised baselines, and outperforms competing unsupervised learning methods.
