LSDE is a novel embedding approach for representing strings that learns a space in which distances between projected points are correlated with the Levenshtein edit distance between the original strings.We show how such a representation produces a more semantically interpretable retrieval from the user{\textquoteright}s perspective than other state of the art ones such as PHOC and DCToW. We also conduct a preliminary handwritten word spotting experiment on the George Washington dataset.", optnote="DAG; 600.084; 600.121", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=2999), last updated on Mon, 07 Dec 2020 14:28:43 +0100", doi="10.1109/ICDAR.2017.88", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/GRK2017.pdf:PDF" }
