STAR: Zero-Shot Chinese Character Recognition with Stroke- and Radical-Level Decompositions

Understand

Zero-shot Chinese character recognition has attracted rising attention in recent years.

• Existing methods for this problem are mainly based on either certain low-level stroke-based decomposition or medium-level radical-based decomposition.
• Considering that the stroke- and radical-level decompositions can provide different levels of information, we propose an effective zero-shot Chinese character recognition method by combining them.
• The proposed method consists of a training stage and an inference stage.
