This paper is part of the Author Profiling task at PAN 2015 contest; in witch participants had to predict the gender, age and personality traits of Twitter users in four different languages (Spanish, English, Italian and Dutch). Our approach takes into account stylistic features represented by character Ngrams and POS N-grams to classify tweets. The main idea of using character Ngrams is to ext...

Automatic recognition of time and date stamps in CCTV video enables the inclusion of time-based queries in video indexing applications. Such ability needs to deal with problems of low character resolution, non-uniform background, multiplexed video format, and random access to the video file. In this paper, we address these problems and propose a technique that solves the difficult task of chara...

This paper describes a new feature set for use in the recognition of on-line handwritten Devanagari script based on Fuzzy Directional Features. Experiments are conducted for the automatic recognition of isolated handwritten character primitives (sub-character units). Initially we describe the proposed feature set, called the Fuzzy Directional Features (FDF) and then show how these features can ...

The character segmentation technology for printed documents is applied in many fields. This paper proposes an efficient character segmentation algorithm for Chinese printed documents, which is suitable for paper watermarking system. This algorithm is composed of three main steps: connected regions recognition, connected regions merging, and fine-gained segmentation, through what the algorithm s...

We describe the neural machine translation system of New York University (NYU) and University of Montreal (MILA) for the translation tasks of WMT’16. The main goal of NYU-MILA submission to WMT’16 is to evaluate a new character-level decoding approach in neural machine translation on various language pairs. The proposed neural machine translation system is an attention-based encoder–decoder wit...

for alexandr sergeyevich pushkin, one of the greatestrevolutionary novelists and poets of the 19th century, society and thegoverning power were two lifetime issues. pushkin portrayed different socialclasses including farmers, peasants, and rulers. moreover, he was master offorming character types. one of these character types that has been mainlydealt with in this study is the superfluous man i...

The aim of this paper is to compute the rational character tables of the dicyclic group $T_{4n}$, the groups of order $pq$ and $pqr$. Some general properties of rational character tables are also considered into account.The aim of this paper is to compute the rational character tables of the dicyclic group $T_{4n}$, the groups of order $pq$ and $pqr$.
