Making Latin Manuscripts Searchable using gHMM's

Neural Information Processing Systems

We describe a method that can make a scanned, handwritten mediaeval latin manuscript accessible to full text search. A generalized HMM is fitted, using transcribed latin to obtain a transition model and one example eachof 22 letters to obtain an emission model. We show results for unigram, bigram and trigram models.
