1. INTRODUCTION The character recognition of the Roman type of languages especially English has come near to perfection and it is also considered as one of the successful application in the field of computer vision. The work on Arabic script and other scripts is being continued on; but the languages adopting Arabic script is very little while the work on Sindhi language is near to its origin. T...

This study investigated effects of cross-language similarity on within- and between-language Stroop interference and facilitation in three groups of trilinguals. Trilinguals were either proficient in three languages that use the same-script (alphabetic in German-English-Dutch trilinguals), two similar scripts and one different script (Chinese and alphabetic scripts in Chinese-English-Malay tril...

In this paper we describe the IIT KGP team’s participation in the Event Extraction task at FIRE 2017. We have developed an event extraction system which can extract event-phrases from tweets written in Indian language scripts along with Roman script. We designed our system on Hindi language and then used the same system for Malayalam and Tamil languages. We have submitted two systems one uses p...

Handwritten word recognition and spotting of low-resource scripts are difficult as sufficient training data is not available and it is often expensive for collecting data of such scripts. This paper presents a novel cross language platform for handwritten word recognition and spotting for such low-resource scripts where training is performed with a sufficiently large dataset of an available scr...

Models of written word recognition in languages using the Roman alphabet assume that a word's visual form is quickly mapped onto abstract units. This proposal is consistent with the finding that masked priming effects are of similar magnitude from lowercase, uppercase, and alternating-case primes (e.g., beard-BEARD, BEARD-BEARD, and BeArD-BEARD). We examined whether this claim can be readily ge...

The transliteration has attracted interest of several sections of researchers. Several techniques of transliteration have been developed and used – both statistical based approaches and rule based approaches. In the present method, a simple but effective rule based technique is developed for the transliteration between Bengali script and Meetei Mayek script of written Manipuri text. Typically, ...

The paper describes a neural network-based script identification system which can be used in the machine reading of documents written in English, Hindi and Kannada language scripts. Script identification is a basic requirement in automation of document processing, in multi-script, multi-lingual environments. The system developed includes a feature extractor and a modular neural network. The fea...

Atebetü’l-Hakâyık, Edib Ahmed Yüknekî tarafından 12. yüzyılda yazıldığı düşünülen ve Karahanlı Türkçesi dönemi eserlerinden sayılan dinî ahlakî bir öğüt kitabıdır. Atebetü’l-Hakâyık’ın günümüzde bilinen beş nüshası bulunmaktadır. Bu nüshalar Semerkand nüshası, Ayasofya Topkapı Fuat Köprülü tanıtılan fakat daha sonra kaybolan Uzunköprü ilk kez 2019 yılında tüm yönleriyle Hollanda nüshasıdır. dış...

In the article a prayer against gout from the early 19th century is analysed, which reflects the surviving medieval theurgical view of healing. It also sheds light on a less known sphere of Croatian Glagolitic texts, i.e. on texts with medical content written in Glagolitic script in Croatian lands.

The Voynich Manuscript is a medieval book written in an unknown script. This paper studies the distribution of similarly spelled words in the Voynich Manuscript. It shows that the distribution of words within the manuscript is not compatible with natural languages.
