Correlation-guided decoding strategy for low-resource Uyghur scene text recognition by Miaomiao Xu, Jiang Zhang, Lianghui Xu, Wushour Silamu, Yanbing Li

“…At the same time, the CGD decoder can utilize the outputs from the Transformer decoder to provide semantic guidance for the feature extraction of the encoder, enabling the model to understand the semantic structure within the input data better. This dual-decoder strategy can better guide the model in extracting effective features, enhancing the model’s ability to learn internal language knowledge and more fully utilize the useful information in the input data. (3) We constructed two Uyghur scene text datasets named U1 and U2. …”
