Abstract
Despite the importance of recognizing Arabic calligraphy styles and their potential usefulness for many applications, a very limited number of Arabic calligraphy style recognition works have been established. Thus, we propose a new computational tool for Arabic calligraphy style recognition (ACSR). The present work aims to identify Arabic calligraphy style (ACS) from images where text images are captured by different tools from different resources. To this end, we were inspired by the indices used by human experts to distinguish different calligraphy styles. These indices were transformed into a descriptor that defines, for each calligraphy style, a set of specific features. Three scenarios have been considered in the experimental part to prove the effectiveness of the proposed tool. The results confirmed the outperformance of both individual and combine features coded by our descriptor. The proposed work demonstrated outstanding performance, even with few training samples, compared to other related works for Arabic calligraphy recognition.

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
