Two Decades of GREC Workshop Series. Conclusions of GREC2017

Abstract

This paper summarizes the conclusions drawn in the panel discussion of the Graphics Recognition Workshop (GREC2017) held in Kyoto, Japan in November 2017. As usual, GREC was an exciting workshop with lots of interactions between attendees. Graphics Recognition community is evolving. It is no longer a compact community focused on typical problems as vectorization, text-graphics separation, or symbol recognition. Instead, Graphics Recognition is now a confluence of research problems from different areas with the common interest of interpreting symbolic constructions that follow a context-dependent language.
