Abstract:

        UNIPEN is a project of data exchange and benchmarks for on-line
        handwriting recognition, started at the initiative of the technical
        committee 11 of the IAPR. The data of concern may include handprint
        and cursive from various alphabets, signatures and gestures
        captured by a digitizing device providing the pen trajectory.
        Several tens of companies and universities have already joined
        UNIPEN and participated in defining a standard data format.
        These data will be provided by the participants in this common
        data format and distributed by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC)
        We have the pleasure to confirm that a benchmark organized by the 
        US National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST) will take
        place this year. It will be restricted to the Latin alphabet.
