We propose a cell library development methodology for throughput enhancement of character projection equipment. First, an ILP (Integer Linear Programming)-based cell selection is proposed for the equipment for which both of the CP (Character Projection) and VSB (Variable Shaped Beam) methods are available, in order to minimize the number of electron beam (EB) shots, that is, time to fabricate c...

Hierarchical prosody structure generation is an important but challenging component for speech synthesis systems. In this paper, we investigate the use of enhanced embedding (joint learning of character and word embedding (CWE)) features and different model fusion approaches at both character and word level for Mandarin prosodic boundaries prediction. For CWE module, the internal structures of ...

Background. Research addressing distinctions and similarities between people's malevolent character traits (i.e., the Dark Triad: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) has detected inconsistent linear associations to temperament traits. Additionally, these dark traits seem to have a common core expressed as uncooperativeness. Hence, some researchers suggest that the dark traits are bes...

Character displacement is typically identified by comparing phenotypic differences in sympatry and allopatry. Recently, however, Goldberg and Lande (2006) pointed out that when phenotypic characters vary along an environmental gradient, the standard approach may fail to identify sympatric character divergence. Here we present a general analytical procedure for identifying sympatric character di...

In this paper we show how the Multi-State Time Delay Neural Network (MS-TDNN), which is already used successfully in continuous speech recognition tasks, can be applied both to online single character and cursive (continuous) handwriting recognition. The MS-TDNN integrates the high accuracy single character recognition capabilities of a TDNN with a non-linear time alignment procedure (dynamic t...

For a linear semisimple Lie group we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a highest weight module with non-singular infinitesimal character to be unitarizable.

Highly accurate optical character recognition (OCR) of handwritten characters is still a challenging task, especially for languages like Chinese and Japanese. To improve the accuracy, we developed four techniques for enhanced recognition: character recognition based on modified linear discriminant analysis (MLDA), subspace-based similar-character discrimination, multi-classifier combination, an...

Character segmentation is a critical step of OCR system. In this paper we discussed segmentation approaches of touching and kerned characters.A non-linear segmentation pathbased algorithm for segmenting touching and kerned characters is put forward. First, touching and kerned characters are extracted and segregated with other characters by using character projections and recognition results.The...

We compute the characters of many supercuspidal representations of reductive p-adic groups. Specifically, we deal with representations that arise via Yu’s construction from data satisfying a certain compactness condition. Each character is expressed in terms of a depth-zero character of a smaller group, the (linear) characters appearing in Yu’s construction, Fourier transforms of orbital integr...
