ICDAR2017

Special Workshop Speaker

Title

Mutual Analysis of Documents and their Readers/Writers


Name

Koichi Kise

Abstract

Document analysis traditionally deals with documents as objects to be analyzed. As I mentioned in the keynote talk at ICDAR2015, I would like to open up a new field in which readers and writers of documents are also to be analyzed. This allows us to enrich the analysis of documents based on the behavior and internal states of readers/writers, as well as to analyze the behavior and internal states of readers/writers using read/written documents.
