Character Queries: A Transformer-based Approach to On-Line Handwritten Character Segmentation

1 code implementation6 Sep 2023 Michael Jungo, Beat Wolf, Andrii Maksai, Claudiu Musat, Andreas Fischer

On-line handwritten character segmentation is often associated with handwriting recognition and even though recognition models include mechanisms to locate relevant positions during the recognition process, it is typically insufficient to produce a precise segmentation.

no code implementations6 Jul 2020 Mohammad Saeed Rad, Thomas Yu, Claudiu Musat, Hazim Kemal Ekenel, Behzad Bozorgtabar, Jean-Philippe Thiran

First, we train a network to transform real LR images to the space of bicubically downsampled images in a supervised manner, by using both real LR/HR pairs and synthetic pairs.

Fast Cross-domain Data Augmentation through Neural Sentence Editing

no code implementations23 Mar 2020 Guillaume Raille, Sandra Djambazovska, Claudiu Musat

We thus aim to learn this in a source domain where data is abundant and apply it in a different, target domain, where data is scarce - cross-domain augmentation.

Multi-Dimensional Explanation of Reviews

no code implementations25 Sep 2019 Diego Antognini, Claudiu Musat, Boi Faltings

Neural models achieved considerable improvement for many natural language processing tasks, but they offer little transparency, and interpretability comes at a cost.

Alleviating Sequence Information Loss with Data Overlapping and Prime Batch Sizes

1 code implementation CONLL 2019 Noémien Kocher, Christian Scuito, Lorenzo Tarantino, Alexandros Lazaridis, Andreas Fischer, Claudiu Musat

We denote this a token order imbalance (TOI) and we link the partial sequence information loss to a diminished performance of the system as a whole, both in text and speech processing tasks.

We identify a phenomenon, which we refer to as multi-model forgetting, that occurs when sequentially training multiple deep networks with partially-shared parameters; the performance of previously-trained models degrades as one optimizes a subsequent one, due to the overwriting of shared parameters.
