On the Use of Attention Mechanism in a Seq2Seq Based Approach for Off-Line Handwritten Digit String Recognition

Abstract: In this work, we investigate the use of the attention mechanism in deep learning for a better reading of handwritten digit strings in digitized images. The proposed recognition system built upon a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and two RNNs (Recurrent Neural Networks), acting as Encoder and Decoder and using the attention mechanism. We used a 1D mechanism for attention location with a "soft" alignment attention which has the peculiarity of having an easily calculable gradient and thus to integrate well wit… Show more

“…More recently, Lupinski et al [36] built a new approach using Attention Mechanism in a Seq2Seq based model for HDSR, through one CNN and two RNNs (Encoder-Decoder). Beyond that, Ma et al [37] developed an end-toend system as a simplified target detector (character level) for recognition of digits in low resolution images through bounding boxes.…”

“…This work achieved breakthrough results on the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) dataset [6]. Meanwhile, the application of attention mechanisms in sequence-to-sequence based deep learning models is introduced by T. Lupinski et al to enhance the performance of offline handwritten digit string recognition [7]. S. Ahlawat et al introduces the application of CNNs and attention mechanisms to improve handwritten digit recognition.…”
