Low-power consumption and scarce computational resources limit the computation at edge. Besides, approximate computing paradigm reports promising techniques for designing accelerators to deal with inherent limitations of edge, high-level synthesis C++ opens opportunity use meta-programming specialisable generic design. This work proposes a framework automatically generating synthesis-time confi...

A common authoring technique involves making annotations on a printed draft and then typing the corrections into a computer at a later date. In this paper, we describe a system that goes some way towards automating this process. The author simply passes the annotated documents through a sheetfeed scanner and then brings up the electronic document in a text editor. The system then works out wher...

With a strong motivational background in search engine optimization the amount of structured data on the web is growing rapidly. The main search engine providers are promising great increase in visibility through annotation of the web page’s content with the vocabulary of schema.org and thus providing it as structured data. But besides the usage by search engines the data can be used in various...

Can visual search tasks be combined without cost? To answer this question we had subjects search for one target character in a series of 12 rapidly presented frames. The type of processing, controlled or automatic, was manipulated by requiring search for variably mapped (VM) or consistently mapped (CM) target and distractor sets. Conditions included VM-only search (controlled processing), CM-on...

Human-based quality control reduces the accuracy of this process. Also, the speed of decision making in some industries is very important. For removing these limitations in human-based quality control, in this paper, the design of an expert system for automatic and intelligent quality control is investigated. In fact, using an intelligent system, the accuracy in quality control is increased. It...

Terms, term relevances, and sentence relevances are concepts that figure in many NLP applications, such as Text Summarization. These concepts are implemented in various ways, though. In this paper, we want to shed light on the impact that different implementations can have on the overall performance of the systems. In particular, we examine the interplay between term definitions and sentencesco...

We present results from using a version of the pyramid method to create gold standards for evaluation of automatic text summarization techniques in the domain of governmental texts. Our results show that the pyramid method may be useful to create gold standards for extraction based summarization techniques using only five human summarisers.
