=Important Notice=<br />
[[Image:ThisWayToTheDatasets.png|250px|right|link=https://tc11.cvc.uab.es/datasets/| Datasets List]]<br />
<br />
The datasets are maintained at http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org The old dataset repository will remain accessible during [[Datasets List | here]]<br />
<br />
=Overview – Message from TC-11=<br />
[[Image:ThisWayToTheDatasets_OldRepo.png|200px|right|link=http://www.iapr-tc11.org/mediawiki/index.php/Datasets_List| Datasets List]]<br />
<br />
It is extremely important for the Document Image Analysis and Recognition community to be able to cross check and reproduce results described in published papers in the field. In order to achieve this, any datasets used as the basis for publications should be publicly available, as is the norm in many other disciplines.<br />
<br />
Authors are actively encouraged to submit the datasets they used to train and / or evaluate their algorithms to the TC-11 in order for them to be published on the TC-11 Web site.<br />
<br />
This initiative is not restricted to datasets. At TC-11 we are interested in archiving online any piece of data (ground-truth data, software, etc) which would allow to easily reproduce results, set new targets, foster healthy competition, encourage collaboration and generally advance the DIAR field as a whole.<br />
<br />
A wealth of datasets and corresponding ground truth data are already available through the TC-11 [http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org Web portal].<br />
<br />
If you wish to contribute, please read below about the procedure to submit material to the TC-11 web-portal. The dataset curators will be notified as soon as the dataset is uploaded.<br />
For any comments or suggestions, please contact Joseph Chazalon, the dataset curator at joseph(dot)chazalon+tc11(at)lrde.epita.fr<br />
<br />
=Submission Protocol=<br />
In order to submit a protocol please create an account on the TC11 datasets portal (http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org) and follow the online submission instructions. For any problems, please contact the dataset curators.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Copyright Note=<br />
TC-11 provides dataset hosting services as a benefit to the international research community. If it is determined that copyrighted material is improperly included in a dataset submitted to inclusion on the TC-11 website, we will immediately remove the offending material upon notification of the copyright holder.<br />
<br />
By submitting a dataset for inclusion to the TC-11 Web site, the author certifies that he/she has the right to publish the dataset and any associated data in the public domain and the act of doing so does not violate intellectual property rights or copyrights of some third party.<br />
<br />
The TC-11 will provide a service through which the submitted dataset and any associated data will be made public to the Document Analysis community worldwide. In case any legal dispute arises in the future in relation to the publishing of this dataset and associated data in the public domain, the author will hold TC-11 free from any wrongdoing and accept responsibility for the publication of these data.<br />
<br />
By submitting a dataset and associated data to the TC-11, you explicitly accept that any third party can independently submit additional information that relates to the original dataset (e.g. additional ground-truth data, software, etc).<br />
<br />
We strongly encourage the authors, where they own the copyrights of the submitted information, to consider offering it to the community under a [http://creativecommons.org/choose/ creative commons license]. See [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Before_Licensing/ this link] for guidelines about how to choose a proper Creative Commons license.<br />
<br />
=Useful Definitions=<br />
'''Dataset''': A collection of data along with metadata information, as required to use these data.<br />
<br />
'''Metadata''': Metadata is information specific to a particular dataset. Metadata are usually tightly structured within the dataset itself (e.g. information encoded within the filenames of submitted images). Metadata can only be submitted at the time of submission of the dataset.<br />
<br />
'''Ground Truth Specification''': The definition of the required information that accurately describes a particular aspect of the data at a high level where agreement between different human observers can be established, as well as the definition of an appropriate structure (format) for storing this information.<br />
<br />
'''Ground Truth Data''': A set of data conforming to a particular ground truth specification and relating to a specific dataset. Ground Truth Data can be submitted at any time, while different Ground Truth Data (corresponding to different aspects of the data) can be associated with the same dataset.<br />
<br />
'''Task''': A well defined process to evaluate algorithms in the context of a specific scientific problem. A task would typically provide a specific evaluation protocol, and link to specific resources as required (a dataset, and usually related ground truth data). Tasks should correspond to open challenges in the field. If you undertake any of the tasks defined and you have published results or code available, we would really like to know!<br />
<br />
'''Resources''': Any other type of related resources that are not specifically covered by the above definitions. Examples would include software to browse and visualise a dataset, software to create ground truth data, algorithms to do performance evaluation, codecs, reports, publications, etc.<br />

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="About TC11"><br />
'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11. <br />
<br />
These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.<br />
<br />
'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.<br />
<br />
'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.<br />

<br />
Part of the mission of TC11 is to promote high quality educational activities related to Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition. The "TC10/TC11 Summer School" is intended to become the prime educational activity of IAPR TC11 (Reading Systems) and TC10 (Graphics Recognition). The Summer School is meant to be a training activity where participants are exposed to the latest trends and techniques of Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition.<br />
<br />
TC10/TC11 Summer Schools will be organised in a bi-annual basis on even years, interleaved with ICDAR conferences which are organised on odd years. A call for bids to host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School is distributed by TC10 and TC11 about six months before the ICDAR conference of the year before the School should takes place.<br />
<br />
Any consortium interested in making a proposal to host the TC10/TC11 Summer School must proceed according to the [[Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School|Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School]].<br />

<br />
Part of the mission of TC11 is to promote high quality educational activities related to Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition. The "TC10/TC11 Summer School" is intended to become the prime educational activity of IAPR TC11 (Reading Systems) and TC10 (Graphics Recognition). The Summer School is meant to be a training activity where participants are exposed to the latest trends and techniques of Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition.<br />
<br />
TC10/TC11 Summer Schools will be organised in a bi-annual basis on even years, interleaved with ICDAR conferences which are organised on odd years. A call for bids to host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School is distributed by TC10 and TC11 about six months before the ICDAR conference of the year before the School should takes place.<br />
<br />
Any consortium interested in making a proposal to host the TC10/TC11 Summer School must proceed according to the [[Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School|Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School]].<br />

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="About TC11"><br />
'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11. <br />
<br />
These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.<br />
<br />
'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.<br />
<br />
'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.<br />

== Activities ==<br />
<br />
<p style="font-size:120%"><br />
The TC11 of the IAPR has spawned a number of lively activities in the area of pattern recognition: a journal, three conference series, maintaining collections of data sets and software, numerous workshops, and a project for benchmarking on-line handwriting recognizers.</p><br />

<br />
Part of the mission of TC11 is to promote high quality educational activities related to Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition. The "TC10/TC11 Summer School" is intended to become the prime educational activity of IAPR TC11 (Reading Systems) and TC10 (Graphics Recognition). The Summer School is meant to be a training activity where participants are exposed to the latest trends and techniques of Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition.<br />
<br />
TC10/TC11 Summer Schools will be organised in a bi-annual basis on even years, interleaved with ICDAR conferences which are organised on odd years. A call for bids to host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School is distributed by TC10 and TC11 about six months before the ICDAR conference of the year before the School should takes place.<br />
<br />
Any consortium interested in making a proposal to host the TC10/TC11 Summer School must proceed according to the [[Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School|Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School]].<br />

<accordion parent="accordion" heading="About TC11"><br />
'''Research Areas.''' IAPR's Technical Committee No. 11 (TC11) is concerned with work in document image processing, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), handwriting recognition, and more generally the analysis and recognition of information in documents. For a list of research areas of interest to TC11, please click [ [[Research Areas|here]] ]. These topics cover both recognition of printed texts as well as recognition of handwritten material, both off-line (from images) and on-line (from pen-and touch-based computing devices). Analysis of electronic documents such as web pages and PDF files is also of interest to TC11. <br />
<br />
These topics cover all levels of document processing, starting with image or planar coordinates obtained from sensors, through image and signal-processing stages, feature extraction and selection, and algorithms used to segment, classify and parse document contents. Commonly, these algorithms involve some form of statistical and/or syntactic pattern recognition, as well as machine learning techniques.<br />
<br />
'''Reading System Applications.''' Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.<br />
<br />
'''Logo.''' The [[Logo|current IAPR TC11 Logo]] was designed by Eloisa Alquati.<br />

<br />
Part of the mission of TC11 is to promote high quality educational activities related to Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition. The "TC10/TC11 Summer School" is intended to become the prime educational activity of IAPR TC11 (Reading Systems) and TC10 (Graphics Recognition). The Summer School is meant to be a training activity where participants are exposed to the latest trends and techniques of Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition.<br />
<br />
TC10/TC11 Summer Schools will be organised in a bi-annual basis on even years, interleaved with ICDAR conferences which are organised on odd years. A call for bids to host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School is distributed by TC10 and TC11 about six months before the ICDAR conference of the year before the School should takes place.<br />
<br />
Any consortium interested in making a proposal to host the TC10/TC11 Summer School must proceed according to the [[Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School|Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School]].<br />

=== Message from the Editor ===<br />
<br />
Things continue to be busy in the TC-11 community! Probably the most pressing announcement concerns the ICDAR 2017 paper submission deadline, which has been extended to April 1st (abstracts) and April 7th (full papers). <br />
<br />
As ICDAR is now fast approaching, various other ICDAR-related items are included in this issue. These include announcements for competitions, workshops, tutorials, the ICDAR Awards and the ICDAR Doctoral Consortium.<br />
<br />
This month's newsletter also includes the first announcement for DAS 2018, which will be held in Vienna, Austria. Additional details will be provided in upcoming newsletters. Other meeting announcements include the 1st Workshop on Human-Document Interaction, and the Conference of the Institute of the Americas.<br />
<br />
In this issue you will also find information about Special Issues in IJDAR and IEEE THMS pertinent to our community. These Special Issues concern deep learning (submissions are open) and handwriting/drawing in interactive systems (now available). Also, good news for those interested in subscribing to IJDAR: the Editors have negotiated a substantially reduced subscription fee for IAPR members. <br />
<br />
Best of luck with preparing your ICDAR submissions!<br />

== ICDAR 2017 Paper Deadline Extension ==<br />
<br />
Dear Researchers,<br />
<br />
As we experienced certain technical problems with the server at the time of the abstract submission deadline, plus the announcement of the abstract deadline extension did not reach everyone as intended, we would like to extend the abstract deadline until April 1st which was the current date for full paper submission. Due to this extension, the deadline of full paper submission is postponed to April 7th. The following are the updated deadlines and '''no further extension will be granted.'''<br />
<br />
'''Abstract submission:''' April 1st (UTC-8, Pacific Time Zone)<br /><br />
'''Full paper submission:''' April 7th (UTC-8, Pacific Time Zone)<br />
<br />
Looking forward to having your submissions!<br />

=== Call for Papers: 1st International Workshop on Human-Document Interaction ===<br />
<br />
'''Workshop Dates:''' November 10 or 11th, 2017<br /><br />
'''Location:''' Kyoto Japan (in conjunction with ICDAR 2017)<br /><br />
'''Web Page:''' [http://www.cvc.uab.es/HDI2017 www.cvc.uab.es/HDI2017]<br />
<br />
HDI 2017 will focus on how humans interact with written information around them, and the interfaces between users and documents. The term document is meant in the wider possible sense, to refer to any physical object that carries written information.<br />
<br />
The workshop aims to create a space for debate between the Document Image Analysis and Recognition and the Human-Computer Interaction communities, and it is motivated by a number of recent developments that point to a coming change of paradigm in the way we interact with written information around us.<br />
<br />
Fresh paper submissions as well as re-submissions of improved versions of rejected ICDAR papers (submitted along with the original reviews) are welcome. The topics of interest include among others:<br />
<br />
* Augmented documents<br />
* Linking physical and digital content<br />
* Reading behaviour analysis<br />
* Human factors<br />

=== ICDAR 2017 Doctoral Consortium (repost) ===<br />
<br />
In 2011, the first Doctoral Consortium in the Document Analysis community was organized in conjunction with the International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR). This has led to successful successor events at ICDAR 2013 and ICDAR 2015. The tradition of having a Doctoral Consortium as a satellite event to the ICDAR main conference will be continued at ICDAR 2017 in Kyoto, Japan.<br />
<br />
The goal of the ICDAR 2017 Doctoral Consortium is to create an opportunity for Ph.D. students to test their research ideas, present their current progress and future plans, and receive constructive criticism and insights related to their future work and career perspectives. A mentor (a senior researcher who is active in the field) will be assigned to each student to provide individual feedback. In addition, students will have the opportunity to present an overview of their research plan during a special poster session.<br />
<br />
Participation in the ICDAR 2017 Doctoral Consortium will be limited to 25 students. Prospective participants are encouraged to submit their application by July 15 (submission procedure to be announced). The Doctoral Consortium Chairs will then review all applications received. Preference will be given to students who are at a stage in their studies most likely to benefit (i.e., they have identified a research direction and published some initial results, but the thesis is not yet set in stone).<br />
<br />
Participation to the Doctoral Consortium will be free for all accepted students, i.e., there will be no extra registration fees!<br />
<br />
The ICDAR 2017 Doctoral Consortium will take place the day before the main conference, i.e., on Sunday, November 12.<br />
<br />
'''IMPORTANT DATES'''<br /><br />
* '''Submission deadline:''' July 15<br /><br />
* '''Doctoral Consortium:''' November 12<br />

=Important Notice=<br />
[[Image:ThisWayToTheDatasets.png|250px|right|link=http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org| Datasets List]]<br />
<br />
The datasets are maintained at http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org The old dataset repository will remain accessible during [[Datasets List | here]]<br />
<br />
=Overview – Message from TC-11=<br />
[[Image:ThisWayToTheDatasets_OldRepo.png|200px|right|link=http://www.iapr-tc11.org/mediawiki/index.php/Datasets_List| Datasets List]]<br />
<br />
It is extremely important for the Document Image Analysis and Recognition community to be able to cross check and reproduce results described in published papers in the field. In order to achieve this, any datasets used as the basis for publications should be publicly available, as is the norm in many other disciplines.<br />
<br />
Authors are actively encouraged to submit the datasets they used to train and / or evaluate their algorithms to the TC-11 in order for them to be published on the TC-11 Web site.<br />
<br />
This initiative is not restricted to datasets. At TC-11 we are interested in archiving online any piece of data (ground-truth data, software, etc) which would allow to easily reproduce results, set new targets, foster healthy competition, encourage collaboration and generally advance the DIAR field as a whole.<br />
<br />
A wealth of datasets and corresponding ground truth data are already available through the TC-11 [http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org Web portal].<br />
<br />
If you wish to contribute, please read below about the procedure to submit material to the TC-11 web-portal. The dataset curators will be notified as soon as the dataset is uploaded.<br />
For any comments or suggestions, please contact Andreas Fischer, the dataset curator at andreas(dot)fischer(at)unifr.ch<br />
<br />
=Submission Protocol=<br />
In order to submit a protocol please create an account on the TC11 datasets portal (http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org) and follow the online submission instructions. For any problems, please contact the dataset curators.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Copyright Note=<br />
TC-11 provides dataset hosting services as a benefit to the international research community. If it is determined that copyrighted material is improperly included in a dataset submitted to inclusion on the TC-11 website, we will immediately remove the offending material upon notification of the copyright holder.<br />
<br />
By submitting a dataset for inclusion to the TC-11 Web site, the author certifies that he/she has the right to publish the dataset and any associated data in the public domain and the act of doing so does not violate intellectual property rights or copyrights of some third party.<br />
<br />
The TC-11 will provide a service through which the submitted dataset and any associated data will be made public to the Document Analysis community worldwide. In case any legal dispute arises in the future in relation to the publishing of this dataset and associated data in the public domain, the author will hold TC-11 free from any wrongdoing and accept responsibility for the publication of these data.<br />
<br />
By submitting a dataset and associated data to the TC-11, you explicitly accept that any third party can independently submit additional information that relates to the original dataset (e.g. additional ground-truth data, software, etc).<br />
<br />
We strongly encourage the authors, where they own the copyrights of the submitted information, to consider offering it to the community under a [http://creativecommons.org/choose/ creative commons license]. See [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Before_Licensing/ this link] for guidelines about how to choose a proper Creative Commons license.<br />
<br />
=Useful Definitions=<br />
'''Dataset''': A collection of data along with metadata information, as required to use these data.<br />
<br />
'''Metadata''': Metadata is information specific to a particular dataset. Metadata are usually tightly structured within the dataset itself (e.g. information encoded within the filenames of submitted images). Metadata can only be submitted at the time of submission of the dataset.<br />
<br />
'''Ground Truth Specification''': The definition of the required information that accurately describes a particular aspect of the data at a high level where agreement between different human observers can be established, as well as the definition of an appropriate structure (format) for storing this information.<br />
<br />
'''Ground Truth Data''': A set of data conforming to a particular ground truth specification and relating to a specific dataset. Ground Truth Data can be submitted at any time, while different Ground Truth Data (corresponding to different aspects of the data) can be associated with the same dataset.<br />
<br />
'''Task''': A well defined process to evaluate algorithms in the context of a specific scientific problem. A task would typically provide a specific evaluation protocol, and link to specific resources as required (a dataset, and usually related ground truth data). Tasks should correspond to open challenges in the field. If you undertake any of the tasks defined and you have published results or code available, we would really like to know!<br />
<br />
'''Resources''': Any other type of related resources that are not specifically covered by the above definitions. Examples would include software to browse and visualise a dataset, software to create ground truth data, algorithms to do performance evaluation, codecs, reports, publications, etc.<br />

Within the International Association for Pattern Recognition, Technical Committee 11 is concerned with theory and application of Reading Systems. The goal is to understand and develop systems which are able to analyze media containing character symbols and will return an encoded representation of the text content and structure.<br />
<br />
This area covers research in the off-line recognition of printed texts and handwritten material, research on the automatic on-line recognition of handwriting as in pen-computing applications, as well as research in the analysis of electronic documents such as web pages. Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.<br />
<br />
The research topics cover all levels of processing, starting with the image or planar coordinates delivered by sensory technology, the necessary image and signal-processing stages, the subsequent segmentation and normalization stages, to feature extraction and selection, classification methods, statistical and syntactical pattern recognition and machine learning techniques.<br />

<br />
Part of the mission of TC11 is to promote high quality educational activities related to Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition. The "TC10/TC11 Summer School" is intended to become the prime educational activity of IAPR TC11 (Reading Systems) and TC10 (Graphics Recognition). The Summer School is meant to be a training activity where participants are exposed to the latest trends and techniques of Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition.<br />
<br />
TC10/TC11 Summer Schools will be organised in a bi-annual basis on even years, interleaved with ICDAR conferences which are organised on odd years. A call for bids to host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School is distributed by TC10 and TC11 about six months before the ICDAR conference of the year before the School should takes place.<br />
<br />
Any consortium interested in making a proposal to host the TC10/TC11 Summer School must proceed according to the [[Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School|Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School]].<br />

<br />
Part of the mission of TC11 is to promote high quality educational activities related to Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition. The "TC10/TC11 Summer School" is intended to become the prime educational activity of IAPR TC11 (Reading Systems) and TC10 (Graphics Recognition). The Summer School is meant to be a training activity where participants are exposed to the latest trends and techniques of Reading Systems and Graphics Recognition.<br />
<br />
TC10/TC11 Summer Schools will be organised in a bi-annual basis on even years, interleaved with ICDAR conferences which are organised on odd years. A call for bids to host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School is distributed by TC10 and TC11 about six months before the ICDAR conference of the year before the School should takes place.<br />
<br />
Any consortium interested in making a proposal to host the TC10/TC11 Summer School must proceed according to the [[Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School|Guidelines for Organising and Bidding to Host the TC10 / TC11 Summer School]].<br />

Within the International Association for Pattern Recognition, Technical Committee 11 is concerned with theory and application of Reading Systems. The goal is to understand and develop systems which are able to analyze media containing character symbols and will return an encoded representation of the text content and structure.<br />
<br />
This area covers research in the off-line recognition of printed texts and handwritten material, research on the automatic on-line recognition of handwriting as in pen-computing applications, as well as research in the analysis of electronic documents such as web pages. Applications include digital libraries, pen-based computing, check and mail reading, signature verification, web mining and content repurposing, web security using human interactive proofs, textual content analysis in videos, and historical document preservation and archiving.<br />
<br />
The research topics cover all levels of processing, starting with the image or planar coordinates delivered by sensory technology, the necessary image and signal-processing stages, the subsequent segmentation and normalization stages, to feature extraction and selection, classification methods, statistical and syntactical pattern recognition and machine learning techniques.<br />

[[Image:ThisWayToTheDatasets_OldRepo.png|200px|right|link=http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org| Datasets List]]<br />
<br />
TC11 is currently moving the datasets to a new Web portal, that supports among others online submission of new datasets. Please check it out at http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org The old dataset repository will remain accessible during this transition [[Datasets List | here]]<br />
<br />
=Overview – Message from TC-11=<br />
[[Image:ThisWayToTheDatasets.png|250px|right|link=http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org| Datasets List]]<br />
<br />
It is extremely important for the Document Image Analysis and Recognition community to be able to cross check and reproduce results described in published papers in the field. In order to achieve this, any datasets used as the basis for publications should be publicly available, as is the norm in many other disciplines.<br />
<br />
Authors are actively encouraged to submit the datasets they used to train and / or evaluate their algorithms to the TC-11 in order for them to be published on the TC-11 Web site.<br />
<br />
This initiative is not restricted to datasets. At TC-11 we are interested in archiving online any piece of data (ground-truth data, software, etc) which would allow to easily reproduce results, set new targets, foster healthy competition, encourage collaboration and generally advance the DIAR field as a whole.<br />
<br />
A wealth of datasets and corresponding ground truth data are already available through the TC-11 [http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org Web portal] (old dataset listing available [[Datasets List| here]]).<br />
<br />
If you wish to contribute, please read below about the procedure to submit material to the TC-11. For any comments or suggestions, please contact Marcus Liwicki, the dataset curator at liwicki (at) dfki.uni-kl.de.<br />
<br />
=Submission Protocol=<br />
In order to submit a protocol please create an account on the TC11 datasets portal (http://datasets.iapr-tc11.org) and follow the online submission instructions. For any problems, please contact Marcus Liwicki (liwicki at dfki.uni-kl.de)<br />
<br />
<!-- The process of submitting a dataset / ground truth to the TC-11 is the following:<br />
<br />
# Please fill in the form below, and send it by email to Marcus Liwicki (liwicki at dfki.uni-kl.de), the TC-11 dataset curator.<br />
# The TC-11 dataset curator will review the submission request, and ensure that all information is clear and complete, and any copyright issues are properly addressed.<br />
# As soon as all information is in place, the TC-11 dataset curator will ask you to sign and return by fax the final submission form.<br />
# The TC-11 dataset curator will work with you to upload the dataset to the TC-11 Web site. Depending on the nature of the dataset this might be as easy as sending a CD or uploading the required files.<br />
<br />
The TC-11 is actively working towards a more comprehensive way of dealing with datasets and associated information.<br />
--><br />
<br />
=Copyright Note=<br />
TC-11 provides dataset hosting services as a benefit to the international research community. If it is determined that copyrighted material is improperly included in a dataset submitted to inclusion on the TC-11 website, we will immediately remove the offending material upon notification of the copyright holder.<br />
<br />
By submitting a dataset for inclusion to the TC-11 Web site, the author certifies that he/she has the right to publish the dataset and any associated data in the public domain and the act of doing so does not violate intellectual property rights or copyrights of some third party.<br />
<br />
The TC-11 will provide a service through which the submitted dataset and any associated data will be made public to the Document Analysis community worldwide. In case any legal dispute arises in the future in relation to the publishing of this dataset and associated data in the public domain, the author will hold TC-11 free from any wrongdoing and accept responsibility for the publication of these data.<br />
<br />
By submitting a dataset and associated data to the TC-11, you explicitly accept that any third party can independently submit additional information that relates to the original dataset (e.g. additional ground-truth data, software, etc).<br />
<br />
We strongly encourage the authors, where they own the copyrights of the submitted information, to consider offering it to the community under a [http://creativecommons.org/choose/ creative commons license].

<br />
=Useful Definitions=<br />
'''Dataset''': A collection of data along with metadata information, as required to use these data.<br />
<br />
'''Metadata''': Metadata is information specific to a particular dataset. Metadata are usually tightly structured within the dataset itself (e.g. information encoded within the filenames of submitted images). Metadata can only be submitted at the time of submission of the dataset.<br />
<br />
'''Ground Truth Specification''': The definition of the required information that accurately describes a particular aspect of the data at a high level where agreement between different human observers can be established, as well as the definition of an appropriate structure (format) for storing this information.<br />
<br />
'''Ground Truth Data''': A set of data conforming to a particular ground truth specification and relating to a specific dataset. Ground Truth Data can be submitted at any time, while different Ground Truth Data (corresponding to different aspects of the data) can be associated with the same dataset.<br />
<br />
'''Task''': A well defined process to evaluate algorithms in the context of a specific scientific problem. A task would typically provide a specific evaluation protocol, and link to specific resources as required (a dataset, and usually related ground truth data). Tasks should correspond to open challenges in the field. If you undertake any of the tasks defined and you have published results or code available, we would really like to know!<br />
<br />
'''Resources''': Any other type of related resources that are not specifically covered by the above definitions. Examples would include software to browse and visualise a dataset, software to create ground truth data, algorithms to do performance evaluation, codecs, reports, publications, etc.<br />
<br />

=Submission Form=<br />
You can download the submission form from here: [[media:TC11_Dataset_Submission_Form_v09.pdf| PDF]] or [[Media:TC11_Dataset_Submission_Form_v09.docx| Word 2007]]<br />
<br />
The submission form has six sections. Please fill in the sections applicable to your situation. Not all sections need to be filled in. It would be helpful to have a look at already published datasets to get an idea of the information that is needed. Feel free to use as much space as you need, but generally a couple of paragraphs are more than enough to describe every aspect of the submitted material.<br />

* [http://labs.europeana.eu/api/ Europeana API] The Europeana network represents more than 2,500 cultural heritage organisations and is the principal point of reference for digitised European culture. Europeana offers open access to over 32 million records, a large percentage of which are document images originating from various memory institutions including national libraries and archives. In many cases it offers links to high resolution scans of such documents. The Europeana APIs allow you to search and retrieve the contents of their database for use in your own applications. Two APIs are offered. The first is a REST-API that is suited for dynamic search and retrieval of our data. The second API is more experimental and supports download of complete datasets and advanced semantic search and retrieval of our data via the SPARQL query language.<br />
* [http://www.digitisation.eu/tools/ Tools from the IMPACT Centre of Competence] The tools offered by the Impact Centre of Competence are software components which have been developed by the different technical IMPACT partners during the IMPACT project (2008-2012). Generally, a "tool" is a piece of software which operates on image or text data modifying the data or extracting information from it. Every IMPACT tool has a specific functionality related to OCR, to the the pre- and post-processing stages. They include new approaches in areas such as image enhancement, segmentation, and document structuring, alongside existing and experimental OCR engines. <br />

=Important Notice=<br />
TC11 is currently moving the datasets to a new Web portal, that supports among others online submission of new datasets. Please check it out at http://tc11.cvc.uab.es The old dataset repository will remain accessible during this transition [[Datasets List | here]]<br />

=Overview – Message from TC-11=<br />
[[Image:ThisWayToTheDatasets.png|250px|right|link=http://tc11.cvc.uab.es| Datasets List]]<br />
<br />
It is extremely important for the Document Image Analysis and Recognition community to be able to cross check and reproduce results described in published papers in the field. In order to achieve this, any datasets used as the basis for publications should be publicly available, as is the norm in many other disciplines.<br />
<br />
Authors are actively encouraged to submit the datasets they used to train and / or evaluate their algorithms to the TC-11 in order for them to be published on the TC-11 Web site.<br />
<br />
This initiative is not restricted to datasets. At TC-11 we are interested in archiving online any piece of data (ground-truth data, software, etc) which would allow to easily reproduce results, set new targets, foster healthy competition, encourage collaboration and generally advance the DIAR field as a whole.<br />
<br />
A wealth of datasets and corresponding ground truth data are already available through the TC-11 [http://tc11.cvc.uab.es Web portal] (old site available [[Datasets List| here]]).<br />
<br />
If you wish to contribute, please read below about the procedure to submit material to the TC-11. For any comments or suggestions, please contact Marcus Liwicki, the dataset curator at liwicki (at) dfki.uni-kl.de.<br />
<br />
=Submission Protocol=<br />
In order to submit a protocol please create an account on the TC11 datasets portal (http://tc11.cvc.uab.es) and follow the online submission process. For any problems, please contact Marcus Liwicki (liwicki at dfki.uni-kl.de)<br />
<br />
<!-- The process of submitting a dataset / ground truth to the TC-11 is the following:<br />
<br />
# Please fill in the form below, and send it by email to Marcus Liwicki (liwicki at dfki.uni-kl.de), the TC-11 dataset curator.<br />
# The TC-11 dataset curator will review the submission request, and ensure that all information is clear and complete, and any copyright issues are properly addressed.<br />
# As soon as all information is in place, the TC-11 dataset curator will ask you to sign and return by fax the final submission form.<br />
# The TC-11 dataset curator will work with you to upload the dataset to the TC-11 Web site. Depending on the nature of the dataset this might be as easy as sending a CD or uploading the required files.<br />
<br />
The TC-11 is actively working towards a more comprehensive way of dealing with datasets and associated information.<br />

<br />
=Useful Definitions=<br />
'''Dataset''': A collection of data along with metadata information, as required to use these data.<br />
<br />
'''Metadata''': Metadata is information specific to a particular dataset. Metadata are usually tightly structured within the dataset itself (e.g. information encoded within the filenames of submitted images). Metadata can only be submitted at the time of submission of the dataset.<br />
<br />
'''Ground Truth Specification''': The definition of the required information that accurately describes a particular aspect of the data at a high level where agreement between different human observers can be established, as well as the definition of an appropriate structure (format) for storing this information.<br />
<br />
'''Ground Truth Data''': A set of data conforming to a particular ground truth specification and relating to a specific dataset. Ground Truth Data can be submitted at any time, while different Ground Truth Data (corresponding to different aspects of the data) can be associated with the same dataset.<br />
<br />
'''Task''': A well defined process to evaluate algorithms in the context of a specific scientific problem. A task would typically provide a specific evaluation protocol, and link to specific resources as required (a dataset, and usually related ground truth data). Tasks should correspond to open challenges in the field. If you undertake any of the tasks defined and you have published results or code available, we would really like to know!<br />
<br />
'''Resources''': Any other type of related resources that are not specifically covered by the above definitions. Examples would include software to browse and visualise a dataset, software to create ground truth data, algorithms to do performance evaluation, codecs, reports, publications, etc.<br />

You can download the submission form from here: [[media:TC11_Dataset_Submission_Form_v09.pdf| PDF]] or [[Media:TC11_Dataset_Submission_Form_v09.docx| Word 2007]]<br />
<br />
The submission form has six sections. Please fill in the sections applicable to your situation. Not all sections need to be filled in. It would be helpful to have a look at already published datasets to get an idea of the information that is needed. Feel free to use as much space as you need, but generally a couple of paragraphs are more than enough to describe every aspect of the submitted material.<br />

'''Ground Truth Specification''': The definition of the required information that accurately describes a particular aspect of the data at a high level where agreement between different human observers can be established, as well as the definition of an appropriate structure (format) for storing this information.<br />
<br />
'''Ground Truth Data''': A set of data conforming to a particular ground truth specification and relating to a specific dataset. Ground Truth Data can be submitted at any time, while different Ground Truth Data (corresponding to different aspects of the data) can be associated with the same dataset.<br />
<br />
'''Task''': A well defined process to evaluate algorithms in the context of a specific scientific problem. A task would typically provide a specific evaluation protocol, and link to specific resources as required (a dataset, and usually related ground truth data). Tasks should correspond to open challenges in the field. If you undertake any of the tasks defined and you have published results or code available, we would really like to know!<br />
<br />
'''Resources''': Any other type of related resources that are not specifically covered by the above definitions. Examples would include software to browse and visualise a dataset, software to create ground truth data, algorithms to do performance evaluation, codecs, reports, publications, etc.<br />

You can download the submission form from here: [[media:TC11_Dataset_Submission_Form_v09.pdf| PDF]] or [[Media:TC11_Dataset_Submission_Form_v09.docx| Word 2007]]<br />
<br />
The submission form has six sections. Please fill in the sections applicable to your situation. Not all sections need to be filled in. It would be helpful to have a look at already published datasets to get an idea of the information that is needed. Feel free to use as much space as you need, but generally a couple of paragraphs are more than enough to describe every aspect of the submitted material.<br />

=Important Notice=<br />
TC11 is currently moving the datasets to a new Web portal, that supports among others online submission of new datasets. Please check it out at http://tc11.cvc.uab.es The old dataset repository will remain accessible during this transition [[Datasets List | here]]<br />
<br />
=Overview – Message from TC-11=<br />
[[Image:ThisWayToTheDatasets.png|250px|right|link=Datasets List| Datasets List]]<br />
<br />
It is extremely important for the Document Image Analysis and Recognition community to be able to cross check and reproduce results described in published papers in the field. In order to achieve this, any datasets used as the basis for publications should be publicly available, as is the norm in many other disciplines.<br />
<br />
Authors are actively encouraged to submit the datasets they used to train and / or evaluate their algorithms to the TC-11 in order for them to be published on the TC-11 Web site.<br />
<br />
This initiative is not restricted to datasets. At TC-11 we are interested in archiving online any piece of data (ground-truth data, software, etc) which would allow to easily reproduce results, set new targets, foster healthy competition, encourage collaboration and generally advance the DIAR field as a whole.<br />
<br />
A wealth of datasets and corresponding ground truth data are already available through the TC-11 [[Datasets List]].<br />
<br />
If you wish to contribute, please read below about the procedure to submit material to the TC-11. For any comments or suggestions, please contact Marcus Liwicki, the dataset curator at liwicki (at) liwicki@dfki.uni-kl.de.<br />
<br />
=Submission Protocol=<br />
In order to submit a protocol please create an account on the TC11 datasets portal (http://tc11.cvc.uab.es) and follow the online submission process. For any problems, please contact Marcus Liwicki (liwicki at dfki.uni-kl.de)<br />
<br />
<!-- The process of submitting a dataset / ground truth to the TC-11 is the following:<br />
<br />
# Please fill in the form below, and send it by email to Marcus Liwicki (liwicki at dfki.uni-kl.de), the TC-11 dataset curator.<br />
# The TC-11 dataset curator will review the submission request, and ensure that all information is clear and complete, and any copyright issues are properly addressed.<br />
# As soon as all information is in place, the TC-11 dataset curator will ask you to sign and return by fax the final submission form.<br />
# The TC-11 dataset curator will work with you to upload the dataset to the TC-11 Web site. Depending on the nature of the dataset this might be as easy as sending a CD or uploading the required files.<br />
<br />
The TC-11 is actively working towards a more comprehensive way of dealing with datasets and associated information.<br />

=Description=<br />
[[Image:CROHME_sample.jpg|400px|thumb|right| Sample image from the CROHME dataset.]]<br />
<br />
The dataset provides more than 10,000 expressions handwritten by hundreds of writers from different countries, merging the data sets from 3 CROHME competitions. Writers were asked to copy printed expressions from a corpus of expressions. The corpus has been designed to cover the diversity proposed by the different tasks and choosen from existing Math corpora and from expressions embedded in wikipedia pages. Different devices have been used (different digital pen technologies, white-board input device, tablet with sensible screen) so different scales and resolutions are used. The dataset provides only the on-line signal.<br />
<br />
In the last competition CROHME 2013 the test part is completely original and the train part is using 5 existing data sets: <br />
<br />
* MathBrush (University of Waterloo), <br />
* HAMEX (University of Nantes), <br />
* MfrDB (Czech Technical University), <br />
* ExpressMatch (University of Sao Paulo),<br />
* the KAIST data set.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, 6 participants of the 2012 competition provide their recognized expressions for the 2012 test part. This data allows research on decision fusion or evaluation metrics.<br />
<br />
=Metadata and Ground Truth Data=<br />
The CROHME dataset includes the segmentation, the label and the layout of each mathematical expresion using INKML and MATHML standarts.<br />
<br />
The ink corresponding to each expression is stored in an InkML file. An InkML file mainly contains three kinds of information:<br />
<br />
# the ink: a set of traces made of points;<br />
# the symbol level ground truth: the segmentation and label information of each symbol of the expression;<br />
# the expression level ground truth: the MathML structure of the expression.<br />
<br />
The two levels of ground truth information (at the symbol as well as at the expression level) are entered manually. Furthermore, some general information is added in the file:<br />
<br />
* the channels (here, X and Y);<br />
* the writer information (identification, handedness (left/right), age, gender, etc.), if available; <br />
* the LaTeX ground truth (without any reference to the ink and hence, easy to render); <br />
* the unique identification code of the ink (UI), etc.<br />
<br />
The InkML format makes references between the digital ink of the expression, its segmentation into symbols and its MathML representation. Thus, the stroke segmentation of a symbol can be linked to its MathML representation.<br />
<br />
The recognized expressions are the outputs of the recognition competitors' systems. It uses the same InkML format, but without the ink information (only segmentation, label and MathML structure).<br />
<br />
The total size of the dataset is ~130Mb.<br />
----<br />
<br />
=Related Tasks=<br />
==Math Expression Recognition==<br />
''Purpose:'' The difficulty to recognize math expression depends of the number of different symbols, number of allowed layouts and the used grammar. The competition defines 4 levels (tasks) from 41 symbols to 101 symbols, with increasing difficulties in the grammar of allowed expressions.<br />
<br />
''Evaluation Protocol:'' The competition defines the following evaluation protocol:<br />
* participants can use available training dataset (and more)<br />
* the candidate systems take as input an inkml file (without ground-truth) and have to write as output a inkml file with the symbol segmentation, recognition and the expression interpretation with MathML format. This is exactly the same format as the provided training dataset. In 2013, the system can also generate label graph (LG) files.<br />
* the evaluation first converts the inkml files in LG files and then compare the resulting inkml and LG files with the ground-truth with a provided script.<br />
<br />
Several aspects are measured. These are: <br />
<br />
# ST_Rec: the stroke classification rate, representing the percentage of strokes with the correct symbol, <br />
# SYM_Seg: the symbol segmentation rate, defining the percentage of symbols correctly segmented,<br />
# SYM_Rec; the symbol recognition rate, computing the performance of the symbol classifier when considering only the correct segmented symbols,<br />
# STRUCT: the MathML structure recognition rate, computing the percentage of expressions (MEs) having the correct MathML tree as output irrespective of the symbols attached to its leaves.<br />
# EXP_Rec: the expression recognition rate, which informs the percentage of MEs totally correctly recognized.<br />
# EXP-Rec_1, _2, _3, giving the percentage of MEs recognized with at most 1 error, 2 errors and 3 errors (in terminal symbols or in MathML node tags) given that the tree structure is correct.<br />
# Recall and Precision for segments and recognized segments (symbols)<br />
# Recall and Precision for spatial relations between the symbols<br />
<br />
As the MathML struture is not unique for the same expressions, the evaluation tool provides a normalization step to use canonical structures.<br />

=Description=<br />
[[Image:CROHME_sample.jpg|400px|thumb|right| Sample image from the CROHME dataset.]]<br />
<br />
The dataset provides more than 10,000 expressions handwritten by hundreds of writers from different countries, merging the data sets from 3 CROHME competitions. Writers were asked to copy printed expressions from a corpus of expressions. The corpus has been designed to cover the diversity proposed by the different tasks and choosen from existing Math corpora and from expressions embedded in wikipedia pages. Different devices have been used (different digital pen technologies, white-board input device, tablet with sensible screen) so different scales and resolutions are used. The dataset provides only the on-line signal.<br />
<br />
In the last competition CROHME 2013 the test part is completely original and the train part is using 5 existing data sets: <br />
<br />
* MathBrush (University of Waterloo), <br />
* HAMEX (University of Nantes), <br />
* MfrDB (Czech Technical University), <br />
* ExpressMatch (University of Sao Paulo),<br />
* the KAIST data set.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, 6 participants of the 2012 competition provide their recognized expressions for the 2012 test part. This data allows research on decision fusion or evaluation metrics.<br />
<br />
=Metadata and Ground Truth Data=<br />
The CROHME dataset includes the segmentation, the label and the layout of each mathematical expresion using INKML and MATHML standarts.<br />
<br />
The ink corresponding to each expression is stored in an InkML file. An InkML file mainly contains three kinds of information:<br />
<br />
# the ink: a set of traces made of points;<br />
# the symbol level ground truth: the segmentation and label information of each symbol of the expression;<br />
# the expression level ground truth: the MathML structure of the expression.<br />
<br />
The two levels of ground truth information (at the symbol as well as at the expression level) are entered manually. Furthermore, some general information is added in the file:<br />
<br />
* the channels (here, X and Y);<br />
* the writer information (identification, handedness (left/right), age, gender, etc.), if available; <br />
* the LaTeX ground truth (without any reference to the ink and hence, easy to render); <br />
* the unique identification code of the ink (UI), etc.<br />
<br />
The InkML format makes references between the digital ink of the expression, its segmentation into symbols and its MathML representation. Thus, the stroke segmentation of a symbol can be linked to its MathML representation.<br />
<br />
The recognized expressions are the outputs of the recognition competitors' systems. It uses the same InkML format, but without the ink information (only segmentation, label and MathML structure).<br />
<br />
The total size of the dataset is ~130Mb.<br />
----<br />
<br />
=Related Tasks=<br />
==Math Expression Recognition==<br />
''Purpose:'' The difficulty to recognize math expression depends of the number of different symbols, number of allowed layouts and the used grammar. The competition defines 4 levels (tasks) from 41 symbols to 101 symbols, with increasing difficulties in the grammar of allowed expressions.<br />
<br />
''Evaluation Protocol:'' The competition defines the following evaluation protocol:<br />
* participants can use available training dataset (and more)<br />
* the candidate systems take as input an inkml file (without ground-truth) and have to write as output a inkml file with the symbol segmentation, recognition and the expression interpretation with MathML format. This is exactly the same format as the provided training dataset. In 2013, the system can also generate label graph (LG) files.<br />
* the evaluation first converts the inkml files in LG files and then compare the resulting inkml and LG files with the ground-truth with a provided script.<br />
<br />
Several aspects are measured. These are: <br />
<br />
# ST_Rec: the stroke classification rate, representing the percentage of strokes with the correct symbol, <br />
# SYM_Seg: the symbol segmentation rate, defining the percentage of symbols correctly segmented,<br />
# SYM_Rec; the symbol recognition rate, computing the performance of the symbol classifier when considering only the correct segmented symbols,<br />
# STRUCT: the MathML structure recognition rate, computing the percentage of expressions (MEs) having the correct MathML tree as output irrespective of the symbols attached to its leaves.<br />
# EXP_Rec: the expression recognition rate, which informs the percentage of MEs totally correctly recognized.<br />
# EXP-Rec_1, _2, _3, giving the percentage of MEs recognized with at most 1 error, 2 errors and 3 errors (in terminal symbols or in MathML node tags) given that the tree structure is correct.<br />
# Recall and Precision for segments and recognized segments (symbols)<br />
# Recall and Precision for spatial relations between the symbols<br />
<br />
As the MathML struture is not unique for the same expressions, the evaluation tool provides a normalization step to use canonical structures.<br />

* the LaTeX ground truth (without any reference to the ink and hence, easy to render); <br />
* the unique identification code of the ink (UI), etc.<br />
<br />
The InkML format makes references between the digital ink of the expression, its segmentation into symbols and its MathML representation. Thus, the stroke segmentation of a symbol can be linked to its MathML representation.<br />
<br />
The recognized expressions are the outputs of the recognition competitors' systems. It uses the same InkML format, but without the ink information (only segmentation, label and MathML structure).<br />
<br />
The total size of the dataset is ~130Mb.<br />
----<br />
<br />
=Related Tasks=<br />
==Math Expression Recognition==<br />
''Purpose:'' The difficulty to recognize math expression depends of the number of different symbols, number of allowed layouts and the used grammar. The competition defines 4 levels (tasks) from 41 symbols to 101 symbols, with increasing difficulties in the grammar of allowed expressions.<br />
<br />
''Evaluation Protocol:'' The competition defines the following evaluation protocol:<br />
* participants can use available training dataset (and more)<br />
* the candidate systems take as input an inkml file (without ground-truth) and have to write as output a inkml file with the symbol segmentation, recognition and the expression interpretation with MathML format. This is exactly the same format as the provided training dataset. In 2013, the system can also generate label graph (LG) files.<br />
* the evaluation first converts the inkml files in LG files and then compare the resulting inkml and LG files with the ground-truth with a provided script.<br />
<br />
Several aspects are measured. These are: <br />
<br />
# ST_Rec: the stroke classification rate, representing the percentage of strokes with the correct symbol, <br />
# SYM_Seg: the symbol segmentation rate, defining the percentage of symbols correctly segmented,<br />
# SYM_Rec; the symbol recognition rate, computing the performance of the symbol classifier when considering only the correct segmented symbols,<br />
# STRUCT: the MathML structure recognition rate, computing the percentage of expressions (MEs) having the correct MathML tree as output irrespective of the symbols attached to its leaves.<br />
# EXP_Rec: the expression recognition rate, which informs the percentage of MEs totally correctly recognized.<br />
# EXP-Rec_1, _2, _3, giving the percentage of MEs recognized with at most 1 error, 2 errors and 3 errors (in terminal symbols or in MathML node tags) given that the tree structure is correct.<br />
# Recall and Precision for segments and recognized segments (symbols)<br />
# Recall and Precision for spatial relations between the symbols<br />
<br />
As the MathML struture is not unique for the same expressions, the evaluation tool provides a normalization step to use canonical structures.<br />

[[Image:CROHME_sample.jpg|400px|thumb|right| Sample image from the CROHME dataset.]]<br />
<br />
The dataset provides more than 10,000 expressions handwritten by hundreds of writers from different countries, merging the data sets from 3 CROHME competitions. Writers were asked to copy printed expressions from a corpus of expressions. The corpus has been designed to cover the diversity proposed by the different tasks and choosen from existing Math corpora and from expressions embedded in wikipedia pages. Different devices have been used (different digital pen technologies, white-board input device, tablet with sensible screen) so different scales and resolutions are used. The dataset provides only the on-line signal.<br />
<br />
In the last competition CROHME 2013 the test part is completely original and the train part is using 5 existing data sets: <br />
<br />
* MathBrush (University of Waterloo), <br />
* HAMEX (University of Nantes), <br />
* MfrDB (Czech Technical University), <br />
* ExpressMatch (University of Sao Paulo),<br />
* the KAIST data set.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, 6 participants of the 2012 competition provide their recognized expressions for the 2012 test part. This data allows research on decision fusion or evaluation metrics.<br />
<br />
=Metadata and Ground Truth Data=<br />
The CROHME dataset includes the segmentation, the label and the layout of each mathematical expresion using INKML and MATHML standarts.<br />
<br />
The ink corresponding to each expression is stored in an InkML file. An InkML file mainly contains three kinds of information:<br />
<br />
# the ink: a set of traces made of points;<br />
# the symbol level ground truth: the segmentation and label information of each symbol of the expression;<br />
# the expression level ground truth: the MathML structure of the expression.<br />
<br />
The two levels of ground truth information (at the symbol as well as at the expression level) are entered manually. Furthermore, some general information is added in the file:<br />
<br />
* the channels (here, X and Y);<br />
* the writer information (identification, handedness (left/right), age, gender, etc.), if available; <br />
* the LaTeX ground truth (without any reference to the ink and hence, easy to render); <br />
* the unique identification code of the ink (UI), etc.<br />
<br />
The InkML format makes references between the digital ink of the expression, its segmentation into symbols and its MathML representation. Thus, the stroke segmentation of a symbol can be linked to its MathML representation.<br />
<br />
The recognized expressions are the outputs of the recognition competitors' systems. It uses the same InkML format, but without the ink information (only segmentation, label and MathML structure).<br />
<br />

<br />

* ST_Rec: the stroke classification rate, representing the percentage of strokes with the correct symbol<br />
* SYM_Seg: the symbol segmentation rate, defining the percentage of symbols correctly segmented<br />
* SYM_Rec: the symbol recognition rate, computing the performance of the symbol classifier when considering only the correct segmented symbols<br />

* EXP-Rec_1, _2, _3: giving the percentage of MEs recognized with with at most 1 error, 2 errors and 3 errors (in terminal symbols or in MathML node tags) given that the tree structure is correct<br />
<br />
As the MathML structure is not unique for the same expressions, the evaluation tool provides a normalization step to use canonical structures. The evaluation tool is provided (see the Downloads section). The evaluation script uses the Perl language which is available for most operating systems.<br />
<br />
A grammar parser is also available. It allows to check if a latex expression is include in one of the three defined tasks. The grammar validator uses Java.<br />

[[Image:CROHME_sample.jpg|400px|thumb|right| Sample image from the CROHME dataset.]]<br />
<br />
The dataset provides more than 10,000 expressions handwritten by hundreds of writers from different countries, merging the data sets from 3 CROHME competitions. Writers were asked to copy printed expressions from a corpus of expressions. The corpus has been designed to cover the diversity proposed by the different tasks and choosen from existing Math corpora and from expressions embedded in wikipedia pages. Different devices have been used (different digital pen technologies, white-board input device, tablet with sensible screen) so different scales and resolutions are used. The dataset provides only the on-line signal.<br />
<br />
In the last competition CROHME 2013 the test part is completely original and the train part is using 5 existing data sets: <br />
<br />
* MathBrush (University of Waterloo), <br />
* HAMEX (University of Nantes), <br />
* MfrDB (Czech Technical University), <br />
* ExpressMatch (University of Sao Paulo),<br />
* the KAIST data set.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, 6 participants of the 2012 competition provide their recognized expressions for the 2012 test part. This data allows research on decision fusion or evaluation metrics.<br />
<br />
=Metadata and Ground Truth Data=<br />
The ink corresponding to each expression is stored in an InkML file. An InkML file mainly contains three kinds of information:<br />
<br />
# the ink: a set of traces made of points;<br />
# the symbol level ground truth: the segmentation and label information of each symbol of the expression;<br />
# the expression level ground truth: the MathML structure of the expression.<br />
<br />
The two levels of ground truth information (at the symbol as well as at the expression level) are entered manually. Furthermore, some general information is added in the file:<br />
<br />
* the channels (here, X and Y);<br />
* the writer information (identification, handedness (left/right), age, gender, etc.), if available; <br />
* the LaTeX ground truth (without any reference to the ink and hence, easy to render); <br />
* the unique identification code of the ink (UI), etc.<br />
<br />
The InkML format makes references between the digital ink of the expression, its segmentation into symbols and its MathML representation. Thus, the stroke segmentation of a symbol can be linked to its MathML representation.<br />
<br />
The recognized expressions are the outputs of the recognition competitors' systems. It uses the same InkML format, but without the ink information (only segmentation, label and MathML structure).<br />
<br />
The total size of the dataset is ~130Mb.<br />
----<br />
<br />
=Related Tasks=<br />
==Math Expression Recognition==<br />
''Purpose:'' the difficulty to recognize math expressions depends on the number of different symbols, the number of allowed layouts and the used grammar. The CROHME competition defines 3 levels (tasks) from 41 symbols to 75 symbols, with increasing difficulty in the grammar of allowed expressions.<br />
<br />
''Evaluation Protocol:'' The competition defines the following evaluation protocol:<br />
* Participants can use any available training dataset, including the one provided<br />
* The candidate systems take as input an inkml file (without ground-truth) and have to write as output a inkml file with the symbol segmentation, recognition and the expression interpretation with MathML format. This is exactly the same format as the provided in the training dataset.<br />
* During the evaluation the resulting inkml file is compared to the ground-truth using a provided script.<br />
<br />
Five aspects are measured and exported in the results report. They are:<br />
* ST_Rec: the stroke classification rate, representing the percentage of strokes with the correct symbol<br />
* SYM_Seg: the symbol segmentation rate, defining the percentage of symbols correctly segmented<br />
* SYM_Rec: the symbol recognition rate, computing the performance of the symbol classifier when considering only the correct segmented symbols<br />
* STRUCT: the MathML structure recognition rate, computing the percentage of expressions (MEs) having the correct MathML tree as output irrespective of the symbols attached to its leaves<br />
* EXP_Rec: the expression recognition rate, which informs the percentage of MEs totally correctly recognized<br />
* EXP-Rec_1, _2, _3: giving the percentage of MEs recognized with with at most 1 error, 2 errors and 3 errors (in terminal symbols or in MathML node tags) given that the tree structure is correct<br />
<br />
As the MathML structure is not unique for the same expressions, the evaluation tool provides a normalization step to use canonical structures. The evaluation tool is provided (see the Downloads section). The evaluation script uses the Perl language which is available for most operating systems.<br />
<br />
A grammar parser is also available. It allows to check if a latex expression is include in one of the three defined tasks. The grammar validator uses Java.<br />
