• A survey on applications of bipartite graph edit distance 

  Stauffer, Michael; Tschachtli, Thomas; Fischer, Andreas; Riesen, Kaspar (Springer, 2017-05)

  About ten years ago, a novel graph edit distance framework based on bipartite graph matching has been introduced. This particular framework allows the approximation of graph edit distance in cubic time. This, in turn, makes ...
• Speeding-up graph-based keyword spotting in historical handwritten documents 

  Stauffer, Michael; Fischer, Andreas; Riesen, Kaspar (Springer, 2017-05)

  The present paper is concerned with a graph-based system for Keyword Spotting (KWS) in historical documents. This particular system operates on segmented words that are in turn represented as graphs. The basic KWS process ...
