The paper investigates encoder-decoder recurrent neural networks with attention mechanisms for reading handwritten chess scoresheets. It focuses on understanding how learning occurs in these networks rather than just predicting performance. The task is broken down into three subtasks: input-output alignment, sequential pattern recognition, and handwriting recognition. The authors experimentally identify competition, collaboration, and dependence relations between the subtasks, which can help balance factors for proper network training.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper looks at special kinds of computer networks that are good at reading handwritten notes about chess games. Instead of just trying to get the answer right, the researchers want to know how these networks learn. They divide the task into smaller parts: matching inputs and outputs, recognizing patterns in sequences, and recognizing handwriting. By studying how these networks learn, they found out what makes them work well or poorly.
