Despite decades of research, offline handwriting recognition (HWR) of degraded historical documents remains a challenging problem, which if solved could greatly improve the searchability of online cultural heritage archives.

Language Model Supervision for Handwriting Recognition Model Adaptation
Training state-of-the-art offline handwriting recognition (HWR) models requires large labeled datasets, but unfortunately such datasets are not available in all languages and domains due to the high cost of manual labeling. We address this problem by showing how high resource languages can be leveraged to help train models for low resource languages. We propose a transfer learning methodology where we adapt HWR models trained on a source language to a target language that uses the same writing script. This methodology only requires labeled data in the source language, unlabeled data in the target language, and a language model of the target language.
