Automatic natural language processing of large texts often presents recurring challenges in multiple languages: even for most advanced tasks, the texts are first processed by basic processing steps – from tokenization to parsing. We present an extremely simple-to-use tool consisting of one binary and one model (per language), which performs these tasks for multiple languages without the need fo...

This paper explores techniques in the pipeline of image description based on visual codebooks suitable for video on-line processing. The pipeline components are (i) extraction and description of local image features, (ii) translation of each high-dimensional feature descriptor to several most appropriate visual words selected from the discrete codebook and (iii) combination of visual words into...

In this paper, we present a methodology for mapping an Embedded Signal Processing (ESP) application onto HPC platforms such that the throughput performance is maximized. Previous approaches used a linear pipelined execution model which restrict the mapping choices. We show that the \optimal" solution obtained under that model can be improved, using the proposed execution model. Based on the new...

Abstract Censuses are structured documents of great value for social and demographic history, which became widespread from the nineteenth century on. However, plurality formats natural variability historical data make their extraction arduous often lead to ungeneric recognition algorithms. We propose an end-to-end processing pipeline, based on optimization, in attempt reduce number free paramet...

Peter Bauer, ABB Automation, USA, and Billy Mann, West African Gas Pipeline Company Ltd, discuss the importance of SCADA system integrity to the West African gas pipeline. Gas operators are finding the need for more and more advanced technology to keep up with their data collection and processing requirements. This includes data from smart field devices, increasingly sophisticated control syste...

using natural gas as a clean, plentiful and inexpensive source of energy in recent years has progressively increased in iran. pipelines are the most common system to transport natural gas from field to different regions of iran. these pipelines always pose risks to surrounding population and environments. the aim of this study was to assess the potential health, safety, and environment risk of ...
