The paper introduces a novel approach to Handwritten Mathematical Expression Recognition (HMER) using graph-based modeling techniques. The proposed End-to-end model with an Edge-weighted Graph Attention Mechanism (EGAT) simultaneously classifies nodes and edges, allowing for the prediction of symbol classes and their relationships within mathematical expressions. Additionally, the paper proposes stroke-level Graph Modeling methods for local (LGM) and global (GGM) information, applying an end-to-end model to online HMER tasks. The system demonstrates superior performance in symbol detection, relation classification, and expression-level recognition.

Handwritten Mathematical Expression Recognition is a way for computers to understand handwritten math problems. This paper shows how to improve this process by using special graph-based models. These models are good at recognizing patterns and relationships between different parts of the math problem. The new approach uses two main techniques: one for local details and another for global structure. This helps the computer understand the whole expression better. The results show that this method is very effective in detecting symbols, understanding relationships, and recognizing entire expressions.
