I'm a bit of an eclectic mess 🙂 I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

"The Learnable Typewriter: A Generative Approach to Text Line Analysis. (arXiv:2302.01660v1 [cs.CV])" — A generative document-specific approach to character analysis and recognition in text lines which builds on unsupervised multi-object segmentation methods, and in particular, those that reconstruct images based on a limited amount of visual elements, called sprites. This approach can learn a large number of different characters and leverage line-level annotations when available.
