Problem Description & Pipeline

Photo Optical Character Recognition

  1. Text detection
  2. Character segmentation
  3. Character classification
  4. (spelling correction)

Sliding Windows

Getting Lots of Data and Artificial Data

  • Use different fonts combined with random background to generate large dataset.
  • Introduce artifical distortions.
  1. Make sure we have a low bias classifier before expending the effort. (keep increasing the number of features/number of hidden units in neural network)
  2. How much work would it be to get 10x as much data?
    • artificial data synthesis
    • collect/label it yourself
    • crowd source (Amazon Mechanical Turk)

Ceiling Analysis: What Part of the Pipeline to Work on Next

Good tool to find worthy step to work on. Check the final accuracy step by step by assuming 100% accurate performance for steps.
