Machine Learning in Document Analysis and Recognition

The objective of Document Analysis and Recognition (DAR) is to recognize the text and graphical components of a document and to extract information. This book is a collection of research papers and state-of-the-art reviews by leading researchers all over the world. It includes pointers to challenges and opportunities for future research directions. The main goal of the book is to identify good practices for the use of learning strategies in DAR.
