Dear All:
SPECIAL ISSUE CALL FOR PAPERS
International Journal on Document Analysis and Recognition
Performance Evaluation: Theory, Practice, and Impact
Serious attention to large--scale empirical performance evaluation has
been for many years a distinguishing characteristic of the document image
analysis (DIA)research field. Archival--quality manuscripts are solicited
on all aspects of performance evaluation of DIA systems. Relevant topics
include, but are not limited to:
- critical surveys of the relevant literature;
- theoretical, statistical, & other foundational studies;
- methodological proposals, e.g. policies for ground--truthing &
metrics for scoring, for both textual & non--textual ---
layout segmentation, logical labeling, graphics, etc ---
document--image contents;
- authoritative resource lists, i.e. compilations of resources
available worldwide, such as image data sets and associated
ground--truth & corpora;
- algorithms & software tools, including error analysis
& visualization interfaces;
- descriptions of fully engineered evaluation systems, especially
broadly applicable ( e.g. multi--lingual) or highly automated
systems;
- case histories of significant evaluation projects,
including their administrative complexity, costs, and funding
constraints;
- analyses of lessons learned from past evaluation
exercises, especially surprises and their influence on DIA
research strategies;
- insights from closely allied research fields, such as
psychophysical studies of human reading performance.
