Once properly trained, our method can also be adapted to new target data by only accessing unlabeled text-line images to mimic handwritten styles and produce images with any textual content.

Sequential architectures are a perfect fit to model text lines, not only because of the inherent temporal aspect of text, but also to learn probability distributions over sequences of characters and words.

We propose a novel method that is able to produce credible handwritten word images by conditioning the generative process with both calligraphic style features and textual content.

The main challenge faced when training a language model is to deal with the language model corpus which is usually different to the one used for training the handwritten word recognition system.

In this work we propose an end-to-end model that combines a one stage object detection network with branches for the recognition of text and named entities respectively in a way that shared features can be learned simultaneously from the training error of each of the tasks.

Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) is still a challenging problem because it must deal with two important difficulties: the variability among writing styles, and the scarcity of labelled data.

When extracting information from handwritten documents, text transcription and named entity recognition are usually faced as separate subsequent tasks.
