Form document structure analysis is an intrinsic technique. However, It has fundamental problems because interruptions of lines and noise cause low-quality form images. This paper focuses on connecting disappeared comer patterns. Our method has two stages for making correct connections, noise elimination, in which lines whose two end points meet no other lines are eliminated and object line sel...

Global production network has become the main competitive force on the micro level in the process of globalization, which is monopolized by transnational corporations. After the transfer of manufactures from developed countries to developing countries, global transfer turns to service industry, especially the transfer of knowledge intensive services such as financial services, professional serv...

We extend the Malitsky-Tam forward-reflected-backward (FRB) splitting method for inclusion problems of monotone operators to nonconvex minimization problems. By assuming generalized concave Kurdyka-Łojasiewicz (KL) property a quadratic regularization objective, we show that FRB converges globally stationary point objective and enjoys finite length property. Convergence rates are also given. The...

This study uses a generalized stochastic frontier framework to model a multiple-output rice production system and analyses farm-level technical inefficiency of rice farming in Assam, India. Primary data for this study was collected in 2009-2010 from 310 farm-households in four non-contiguous districts of Dhubri, Morigaon, Dibrugarh, and Cachar that are located in different agro-climatic regions...

In this paper, we propose a new optimization algorithm for sparse logistic regression based on a stochastic version of the Douglas-Rachford splitting method. Our algorithm sweeps the training set by randomly selecting a mini-batch of data at each iteration, and it allows us to update the variables in a block coordinate manner. Our approach leverages the proximity operator of the logistic loss, ...

Olli Nevalainen University of Turku Turku Centre for Computer Science Department of Computer Science Lemminkäisenkatu 14A Turku 20520 Finland Abstract. We propose a new iterative algorithm for the generation of a codebook in vector quantization. The algorithm starts with an initial codebook that is improved by a combination of merge and split operations. By merging small neighboring clusters, a...

The aim of the present paper is to provide an intrinsic investigation of projective changes in Finlser geometry, following the pullback formalism. Various known local results are generalized and other new intrinsic results are obtained. Nontrivial characterizations of projective changes are given. The fundamental projectively invariant tensors, namely, the projective deviation tensor, the Weyl ...
