Description

The aim of this task is to automatically recognize a series of characters that written on paper or handwriting input device.

This is a topic that has received a lot of attention lately, including the shape normalization methods for handwritten Chinese character recognition [1], and various methods for online recognition of Chinese characters (see [2] for a review).

Evaluation Protocol

This task consists of a total number of 909,818 handwriting characters. We provide one training set (the character subsets: GB1, GB2, Letter and Digit, 832,650 samples) and one testing set (the documents subset, 77,168 samples). For evaluation, the overall recognition rate should be reported.
