Welcome to the DRR XX Conference Web Site

The conference schedule is available online (a pdf version is also available).
Document Recognition and Retrieval (DRR) is a leading international conference for current developments in document recognition and retrieval research. The 20th Document Recognition and Retrieval Conference was held as part of SPIE Electronic Imaging, from Feb. 5-7, 2013 in San Francisco, California, USA. The conference venue was the Hyatt Regency near the San Francisco Airport (SFO). The conference had oral and poster presentation sessions, a poster 'teaser' session and finished with an open discussion on evaluating systems (slides, discussion notes), along with invited talks by Ray Smith (Google, on the history of the Tesseract OCR Engine) and Marti Hearst (UC Berkeley, on the Future of Search Interfaces). Papers presented at the conference have been published in the DRR Conference Proceedings.
There was a tie for the Best Student Paper Award, which was shared by Olivier Augereau (LaBRI, France) and Daniel Walker (BYU, USA). Our thanks go to Dr. Berrin Yanikoglu and the other Program Committee members who selected the winning papers.
