The performance of text recognition systems may be improved by applying higher-level knowledge in the form of contextual information. However, the acquisition of such information for a realistically sized vocabulary presents a major problem, since hand-coding is feasible for only the smallest of vocabularies. This paper describes a number of methods for extracting contextual knowledge from text corpora, and compares the effect of each on the performance of text recognition systems.
