Abstract
A method and apparatus for automatically identifying character segments for character recognition is provided. The method involves receiving a plurality of words and a ground truth corresponding to each word of the plurality of words. The plurality of words may be received in a cursive script. Each word of the plurality of words is segmented into one or more character segments based on the ground truth corresponding to each word. Thereafter, the segmentation of each word is refined by iteratively re-segmenting each word based on one or more similar character segments.
