Mobile phone networks are increasingly supporting the transmission of textual messages between mobile phones (e.g. SMS short messages). It is reasonable to envisage increased use of these facilities and increased integration with other electronic services such as e-mail and large screen pagers. However, the use of textual messages from mobile phones is inherently limited by the very poor text i...

Training sets of images for object recognition are the pillars on which classifiers base their performances. We have built a framework to support the entire process of image and textual retrieval from search engines, which, giving an input keyword, performs a statistical and a semantic analysis and automatically builds a training set. We have focused our attention on textual information and we ...

This paper proposes an algorithm for aligning singing in polyphonic music audio with textual lyrics. As preprocessing, the system uses a voice separation algorithm based on melody transcription and sinusoidal modeling. The alignment is based on a hidden Markov model speech recognizer where the acoustic model is adapted to singing voice. The textual input is preprocessed to create a language mod...

The aim of the current study is to propose a system, which can automatically deduce entailment relations of textual pairs. The system mainly uses seven features and a decision tree is utilized as a prediction model of the system and seven features of textual pairs are employed to be input of the prediction model. The experimental results for dataset Formal-run based on our proposed method are e...

我們所參與公開評測 NTCIR10 RITE-2[5]將文字蘊涵的研究分成兩種層面,首先是分兩 類(Binary Class, BC) ,任務的目標是單純判別 T1 與 T2 之間是否具有蘊涵關係。但句 子之間蘊涵關係並不能單純以有或沒有這麼簡單就區分開,NTCIR RITE 另外定義多類 (Multi Class, MC)這項任務,將句子之間的蘊涵分類為正向、雙向、矛盾、與獨立四種 關係。假設這個句子對具有蘊涵關係,但有可能兩個句子所包涵的資訊數量不同,造成 我們只能從其中一個句子推論出另一個句子的完整的意思,這樣的情況我們稱為兩個句 子間的蘊涵關係為正向蘊涵。反之兩個句子可以互相推論出另一個句子的含意,這樣的 情況我們就稱為雙向蘊涵關係。假設句子對之間沒有蘊涵關係,我們可以很合理認為兩 個句子所表達的意思不相同,但這並不完全正確的想法。可能兩個句子所包涵的資訊大 致相同只是少部份...

This paper describes the Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) system that our teams developed for TAC 2011. Our system combines the entailment score calculated by lexicallevel matching with the machine-learningbased filtering mechanism using various features obtained from lexical-level, chunk-level and predicate argument structure-level information. In the filtering mechanism, we try to discard...

In this paper, a novel compression approach for large Arabic textual images is proposed. Initially, input texts are segmented into patterns which represent sub-words. Then, patterns-matching procedure is used in order to find similar patterns within the image. Finally, to optimize the performances of this approach, an adaptive arithmetic coding is used to encode the resulting data streams. Expe...

Password authentication using Hopfield Networks is presented in this paper .In this paper we discussed the Hopfield Network Scheme for Textual and graphical passwords, for which input Password will be converted in to probabilistic values. We observed how to get password authentication using Probabilistic values for Textual passwords and Graphical passwords. This study proposes the use of a Hopf...

This paper presents research carried out in order to elicit user needs for the design and development of a digital library and research platform intended to enhance user engagement with cultural heritage collections. It outlines a range of user constituencies for this digital library. The paper outlines a taxonomy of intended users for this system and describes in detail the characteristics and...
