TAP

This repository contains the source code for TAP introduced in the following papers:

• v1: A gru-based encoder-decoder approach with attention for online handwritten mathematical expression recognition
  
• v2: Track, attend and parse (TAP): An end-to-end framework for online handwritten mathematical expression recognition
  

Here, v1 employs the coverage based spatial attention model, v2 employs the guided hybrid attention model.

Requirements

• Install cuda-8.0 cudnn-v7
• Install Theano.0.10.0 with libgpuarray

Description

• Train TAP without using weightnoise and save the best model in terms of WER

  $ bash train.sh
  

• Anneal the best model by using weightnoise and save the new best model

  $ bash train_weightnoise.sh
  

• Reload the new best model and generate the testing latex strings

  $ bash test.sh
