Abstract
This paper presents experiments that compare the performances of several versions of a regional-fuzzy representation (RFR) developed for cursive handwriting recognition (CHR). These experiments are conducted using a common neural network classifier namely a multilayer perceptron (MLP) trained with backpropagation. Results are given for isolated digits, isolated lower-case letters and lower-case letters extracted from phrases, from the Unipen database. Data set Train-R01/V07 is used for training while DevTest-R01/V02 is used for testing. The best overall representation yields recognition rates of respectively 97.0% and 85.6% for isolated digits and lower case, and 84.4% for lower-case extracted from phrases.
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
