Handwriting recognition links

One project I'm curious: handwriting recognition. Dumping a list of resources I've come across:

• IAM Handwriting Database
• EMNIST Dataset
• Kaggle notebook from Rohan Kulkarni: EMnist data OCR
• Keras: Handwriting recognition (from 2016)
• Offline Handwriting Recognition with Multidimensional Recurrent Neural Networks by Alex Graves and J&7uml;rgen Schmidhuber (2008)
• Optical character recognition via deep learning (student project for Stanford CS 230 2018)

I guess there must be some more recent stuff that I'm missing? Recent articles citing the Graves and Schmidhuber article.

Jokes from Sidney Morgenbesser

I'm enjoying reading David Edmonds's Parfit: A Philosopher and His Mission to Save Morality. Recounting Parfit's time in New York with a Harkness Fellowship, the author squeezes in some jokes from the philosopher Sidney Morgenbesser, new to me, who was teaching at Columbia. The jokes:

• On pragmatism: "It's all very well in theory, but it doesn't work in practice."
• J.L. Austin is saying that while there are double negatives to express a positive -- "she is not uninteresting" -- there are no double positives to express a negative. Morgenbesser interrupts: "Yeah, yeah".
• Eating dinner at a restaurant, the waitress says there are two choices for pie: apple or blueberry. Morgenbesser says he'll have the apple. The waitress comes back a minute later to say there's actually a third choice, cherry. Morgenbesser: "In that case, I'll have the blueberry pie."
