ICDAR 2013 CROHME: Third International Competition on Recognition of Online Handwritten Mathematical Expressions

We report on the third international Competition on Handwritten Mathematical Expression Recognition (CROHME), in which eight teams from academia and industry took part. For the third CROHME, the training dataset was expanded to over 8000 expressions, and new tools were developed for evaluating performance at the level of strokes as well as expressions and symbols. As an informal measure of progress, the performance of the participating systems on the CROHME 2012 data set is also reported. Data and tools used for the competition will be made publicly available.
