Abstract: We conducted detailed experiments of Japanese cursive character recognition to promote Japanese historical document transcription and digitization by using a publicly available kuzushiji dataset released by the Center for Open Data in the Humanities (CODH). Using deep learning, we analyzed the causes of recognition difficulties through a recognition experiment of over 1,500-class of kuzushiji characters. Furthermore, assuming actual transcription conditions, we introduced a method to automatically determine which characters should be held for judgment by identifying difficult-to-recognize characters or characters that were not used during training. As a result, we confirmed that a classification rate of more than 90% could be achieved by narrowing down the characters to be classified even when a recognition model with a classification rate of 73.10% was used. This function could improve transcribers’ ability to judge correctness from context in the post-process—namely, the previous a nd subsequent characters. (More)
