In this paper we deal with a recently developed large Czech MWE database containing at the moment 160 000 MWEs (treated as lexical units). It was compiled from various resources such as encyclopedias and dictionaries, public databases of proper names and toponyms, collocations obtained from Czech WordNet, lists of botanical and zoological terms and others. We describe the structure of the datab...

Sketching is an intuitive and simple way to depict sciences with various object form appearance characteristics. In the past few years, widely available touchscreen devices have increasingly made sketch-based human-AI co-creation applications popular. One key issue of sketch-oriented interaction prepare input sketches efficiently by non-professionals because it usually difficult time-consuming ...

A deep-learning-based model for generating line-based portrait sketches from photos is proposed in this paper. The misalignment problem addressed by the introduction of a novel loss term, designed to tolerate misalignments between Ground Truth and generated sketches. Artists’ sketching strategies are mimicked dividing into face hair regions, with separate models trained each region, outcomes su...

We want to sketch the support of a probability measure on Euclidean space from samples that have been drawn from the measure. This problem is closely related to certain manifold learning problems, where one assumes that the sample points are drawn from a manifold that is embedded in Euclidean space. Here we propose to sketch the support of the probability measure (that does not need to be a man...

In this paper, we present a novel automatic image completion solution in a greedy manner inspired by a primal sketch representation model. Firstly, an image is divided into structure (sketchable) components and texture (non-sketchable) components, and the missing structures, such as curves and corners, are predicted by tensor voting. Secondly, the textures along structural sketches are synthesi...

We explore the utility and execution of recursive queries as an interface for querying distributed network graph structures. To illustrate the power of recursive queries, we give several examples of computing structural properties of a P2P network such as reachability and resilience. To demonstrate the feasibility of our proposal, we sketch execution strategies for these queries using PIER, a P...

MAX and MIN are two important aggregates offered by the original SQL specification. In the paper, we propose a novel mechanism, i.e. the exemplary sketch, to evaluate MAX and MIN over sliding windows with various size in the data stream environment. Performance analysis shows that evaluating MAX or MIN over w sliding windows with various size using the exemplary sketch takes O(ln n) expected am...
