Abstract
We propose a novel word spotting system for Urdu words within handwritten text lines. Spatial information of diacritics is integrated to the detection of the main connected components in candidate words generation. An Urdu word recognition system is effectively designed and applied to classify the candidate words. In this word recognition system, compound features and SVM were adapted. The verification/rejection process was based on the outputs from the Urdu word recognition system and the image's global features were applied to achieve a promising result. As a result, a high 92.11% correct segmentation rate, a 50.75% word spotting precision rate were achieved while maintaining a 70.1% recall on CENPARMI's Urdu Database.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
