Abstract
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that generate a teaching data set for use by a handwriting recognizer. Ink input is received from various ink sources, such as implicit field data, scripted untruthed ink, scripted truth ink, and/or ink from at least one other language in the same script as the target language for the recognizer. The ink input is used with various machine learning methods and/or other algorithmic methods to generate a teaching ink data set. Examples of the various machine learning methods include a character and/or word n-gram distribution leveling method, an allograph method, a subject diversity method, and a print and cursive data selection method. The teaching ink data is used by a handwriting trainer to produce the handwriting recognizer for the target language.
