Article Synopsis
  • Handwritten Text Recognition shows strong results in benchmarks but requires large labeled training datasets due to the variety in handwriting styles.
  • To reduce the need for extensive manual labeling, synthetic data from TrueType fonts is often used, although it introduces a style bias that affects recognition accuracy.
  • To overcome this, a new generative method is introduced that creates diverse handwritten text images based on visual appearance and text content, which has been shown to significantly enhance recognition performance through experimental validation.

Fusion genes involved in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) occur mostly due to genetic and environmental factors, and only a limited number of studies have reported any ethnic influence. This study assesses whether an ethnic influence has an effect on the frequency of any of the four fusion genes: BCR-ABL1, ETV6-RUNX1, TCF3-PBX1, and MLL-AFF1 found in ALL. To study this ethnic influence, mononuclear cells were obtained from bone marrow samples from 143 patients with ALL.
