Title
Generalized Contextual Recognition of Hand-Printed Documents Using Semantic Trees with Lazy Evaluation
Abstract
This paper describes a new general-purpose contextual architecture which provides a unified framework for efficiently combining all types and levels of context in hand-print recognition applications. The architecture has been designed and built as a C++ class library, and utilised within an initial demonstrator which implements full contextual constraints for a combination of postcode and corresponding postal address. Preliminary evaluation of the demonstrator suggests the system has the potential to achieve genuinely remarkable performance compared with previous context systems: its memory requirements are an order of magnitude less than an equivalent trie-based dictionary; its search speed is at least an order of magnitude faster than the trie, and actually get faster as the dictionary size increases; and its error rate is virtually zero if suitable contextual constraints can be applied. Using this architecture, it appears to be possible to build real-time solutions to large-scale heterogeneous contextual problems.
