  • Publication number: 20250094828
    Abstract: A method for building a knowledge graph from handwritten documents is disclosed. The method includes receiving a handwritten document along with dynamic handwritten data from an electronic device and recognizing potential terms for objects in the handwritten document by employing a handwriting recognition technique. The potential terms for each object include a closest recognized term and at least one alternative recognized term. The method also includes determining conceptual terms from the potential recognized terms. Furthermore, the method includes determining a multi-level relation between one or more potential recognized terms and the handwritten document. Thereafter, the method includes building a knowledge graph based on the plurality of potential terms, the one or more conceptual terms, the determined multi-level relation between the one or more potential recognized terms and the handwritten document, or a combination thereof.
