In this paper, we report on the automatic recognition of Japanese broadcast-news speech. We have been working on largevocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) for Japanese newspaper speech transcription and have achieved good performance. We have recently applied our LVCSR system to transcribing Japanese broadcast-news speech. We extended the vocabulary from 7k words to 20k words and tr...

In this paper we address the problem of analyzing web log data collected at a typical online newspaper site. We propose a two-way clustering technique based on probability theory. On one hand the suggested method clusters the readers of the online newspaper into user groups of similar browsing behaviour, where the clusters are determined solely based on the click streams collected. On the other...

This paper investigates how newspaper consumption a ects political engagement. To circumvent potential endogeneity issues, I use variation in European languages as an instrument for newspaper consumption. Speci cally, I consider variation in how much physical space languages require to express some given information content. I rst estimate such language e ciency from large bilingual text compil...

The aim of layout analysis is to extract the geometric structure from a document image. It consists of labeling homogenous regions of a document image. This paper describes the performance of segmentation algorithms and their adaptation in order to treat complex structured Arabic documents such as newspapers. Experimental tests have been carried out on four different phases of newspaper image a...

In this presentation are explained, the reasons (increase the users subscribed to a newspaper), the definition of the road to be followed (personalisation of content), the means to achieve this with a print newspaper (use of PDFs on the Web), the technical processes involved (documentary, relational and PDF repository data bases), and the important marketing data obtained along the lines of “ma...

In this paper, scan and ring schemes of the pseudo-ring memory self-testing are investigated. Both schemes are based on emulation of the linear or nonlinear feedback shift register by memory itself. Peculiarities of the pseudo-ring schemes implementation for multi-port and embedded memories, and for register file are described. It is shown that only small additional logic is required and allows...

An arrays of O's and l's has the u v horizontal window property if every nonzero view is seen once when a u v window is moved horizontally across the array. We study the problem of constructing an array which, for a given m, has the u x v horizontal window property for all factorizations rn uv. Using maximal linear shift register sequences for the rows we are able to construct such arrays of si...
