IMPROVING HANDWRITING RECOGNITION WITH LANGUAGE MODELING

Systems and methods for handwriting recognition using language modeling facilitate improved results by using a trained language model (276) to improve results from a handwriting recognition machine learning model (204). The language model (276) may be a character-based language model trained on a dataset pertinent to field values on which the handwriting recognition model (204) is to be used. A loss prediction module (256) may be trained with the handwriting recognition model (204) and/or the language model (276) and used to determine whether a prediction (210) from the handwriting recognition model (204) should be refined by passing the prediction (210) through the trained language model (276).
