In this paper we highlight the specific meaning of images of fuzzy sets under fuzzy relations in the context of fuzzy topology. More precisely we show that fuzzy modifiers taking direct and superdirect images of fuzzy sets under fuzzy pre-orderings are respectively closure and interior operators, inducing fuzzy topologies. Furthermore we investigate under which conditions the same applies to th...

Writer adaptation is the process of converting a generic (writer-independent) handwriting recognizer into a personalized (writer-dependent) recognizer with improved accuracy for a particular user. While training the generic recognizer uses large amounts of data from several writers, the adaptation process uses only a few samples from a single user. In this paper we present a) an automatic appro...

In this paper, a novel input device based on 3D dynamic handdrawn gestures is presented. It makes use of inertial sensor and pattern recognition technique. Fuzzy ARTMAP based recognizer is adopted to realize gesture recognition by using 3axis acceleration signals directly instead of reproduced trajectories of gestures. The proposed method may relax motion constraints during inputting a gesture,...

Most cross-lingual speech retrieval assumes intensive knowledge about all involved languages. However, such resource may not exist for some less popular languages. Some applications call for speech retrieval in unknown languages. In this work, we leverage on a quasi-language-independent subword recognizer trained on multiple languages, to obtain an abstracted representation of speech data in an...

In this paper, the concept of k-regular fuzzy matrix as a general- ization of regular matrix is introduced and some basic properties of a k-regular fuzzy matrix are derived. This leads to the characterization of a matrix for which the regularity index and the index are identical. Further the relation between regular, k-regular and regularity of powers of fuzzy matrices are dis- cussed.

Named Entity Recognition is an information extraction task that serves as a pre-processing step for other natural language processing tasks, such machine translation, retrieval, and question answering. entity recognition enables the identification of proper names well temporal numeric expressions in open domain text. For Semitic languages Arabic, Amharic, Hebrew, named more challenging due to h...
