Among factors that might manipulate translators’ mind while producing a text is the notion of ideology transmission through text or talk. Adopting Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) with particular emphasis on the framework of Van Dijk (1999), the present investigation is an attempt to shed light on the relationship between language and ideology involved in translation in general, and more speci...

In this work a script independent handwriting recognition system is proposed which is derived from the RWTH-ASR hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech recognizer. Most problems occurring in handwriting recognition (HWR) are induced by large variations within the written text. In particular, different handwriting styles such as cursive writing or long drawn-out strokes are difficult to model. Co...

this article examines al-ṭūsī’s and maghribī’s recensions of theodosius’ sphaerica by comparing their features and differences. al-ṭūsī adheresto the original text of sphaerica, however, by adding some postulates and three lemmas, he enriches the mathematical structure of the treatise. al-ṭūsī’s composition style reveals that he intended to prepare a pedagogical textbook, his statements are con...

Classical ciphers are used to encrypt plaintext messages written in a natural language in such a way that they are readable for sender or intended recipient only. Many classical ciphers can be broken by brute-force search through the key-space. One of the pertinent problems arising in automated cryptanalysis is the plaintext recognition. A computer should be able to decide which of many possibl...

Abstract: This paper investigates the usability of SriRamshalakha, a vedic tool used in Indian Astrology, in the encryption and decryption of plain English text. Sri Ram Shalaka appears in Sri RamChartmanas, one of the very popular sacred epic of Hindu religion, written by great Saint Tulsidasji. SriRamshalakha is used to fetch/infer the approximate answer of questions/decisions by the believer...

Organizing the structure of fixed-length text summaries for events is important for their coherence and readability. However, typical measures used for evaluation in text summarization tasks often ignore the structure. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study on a crowdsourcing platform to get insights into regularities that make a text summary coherent and readable. For this, we generate f...

This paper is devoted to the text normalization module in our text-to-speech synthesis system. We focused on conversion numerals written as figures into a readable full-length form. The numerals conversion is a significant issue in inflectional language as Czech, Russian or Slovak because morphological and semantic information is necessary to make the conversion unambiguous. In the paper three ...
