In recent times, Nigeria had made series of attempt to know the population dynamics of her people but the results have always been associated with incompleteness and inaccuracy. This study presents the modeling and simulation of the decision support system for population census in Nigeria. A structural framework to implement an accurate and complete population census is presented with analytica...

We promote and analyze the needs of a common publicly available benchmark dataset to be used for neural-symbolic studies of learning and reasoning. The recently released Visual Genome repository is proposed as a suitable dataset to meet these needs. Along with the original tasks that were suggested by the Visual Genome creators, we propose neural-symbolic tasks that can be used as challenges to...

Automatic identification of TV programs within TV streams is an important task for archive exploitation. This paper proposes a new spatial-temporal approach to identify programs in TV streams in two main steps: First, a reference catalogue for video grammars of visual jingles is constructed. We exploit visual grammars characterizing instances of the same program type in order to identify the va...

⊇ Basic ⊇ Congruence ⊇ Division of sets of intervals, those sets closed under taking (a) similar intervals, (b) sub-intervals, (c) abutting intervals, (d) suprema, respectively. We let B(Λ) and D(Λ) be the family of all basic sets and division sets, respectively. Abstract and basic sets are not particularly important, but the do help with the organization. However, observe that the family B(Λ) ...

Learning to categorize objects is known to have systematic effects on how those objects are judged (e.g., similarity or same-different judgments). These so-called learned categorical perception (CP) effects have been demonstrated with a wide variety of stimuli, particularly visual stimuli. However, it does not appear that they have ever been explored with visual motion features that are arguabl...

This paper presents MISTRAL+, a dedicated tool for the study of under-resourced languages. MISTRAL+ is the upgrated version of an automatic tool created in 2004 called MELISM. The entire process has been modified in order to simplify and enhance the study of under-resourced languages. MISTRAL+ is composed of two separated modules: MISTRAL_Praat a plugin integrated to the tool PRAAT, and MISTRAL...

A suite of three programs has been developed to support the teaching of microwave theory and design. A secondary function of the package is to support microwave engineers by providing a library of utilities to assist their design function. All three programs were written in Visual Basic and are aimed at supporting both tutor-directed and student-centred learning methodologies. The development t...
