In this paper, we present a method for the detection of fruits from images. Several fruits detection techniques have been developed based on colour and shape values. However, different object images may have similar or identical colour and shape. Therefore, using only colour and shape features are not efficient enough for fruits detection. Considering this fact, in this paper, we propose a method...

In this paper, we present a bilingual question answering system, BQAS that can generate questions and provide their answers from electronic Bangla and English documents. The system first performs the analysis of the contents of the documents to generate questions based on user provided query. It then generates answers of the questions. The system has been evaluated with real documents. We have found...
From the advent of the Internet, data contained in the web is increasing exponentially and the number of e-commerce companies is also increasing significantly. Nowadays, we can find that many e-commerce companies selling same products and / or services at different prices. For a customer it is difficult to find an e-commerce company which will be best suited for him. Moreover, it is time consuming...
Bangla is the sixth largest language and around one eighty five million people around the globe speak in Bangla. However, there is a strong difference in the style of speaking Bangla among the people of different regions. Although there were many efforts for translation of information between English and Bangla languages, according to our knowledge, so far there is no consideration about the computerization...
In this paper, we have developed a framework for ontology generalization that can easily generalize two or more similar type ontologies into one ontology. The proposed system first checks the similarity among the ontologies. It then merges the similar ontologies into one more general ontology. We have tested our developed ontology generalization approach with several ontologies. We have found that...
In this paper, we present an efficient method for recommending hotels for the users. Conventional hotel recommendation systems recommend hotels based on non-spatial attributes of hotels such as price and rating and do not utilize surrounding environments well. In contrast, we consider the coexistence of other facilities such as restaurants and entertainment facilities in the surrounding areas while...
Due to the rapid growth of Internet technology, at present we are in the era of information overload.

We consider a problem of skyline query of a spatial database. Assume that members of a multidisciplinary task force team located at different offices want to put together in a restaurant to hold a lunch-on meeting. In this situation, we should select a good restaurant whose location is convenient for each member. Skyline query is helpful for finding a good restaurant. We can compute a set of skyline...
With the increase of data volume, advanced query operators are necessary in order to help users to handle the huge amount of available data by selecting a set of promising data objects. In this paper, we present a method for selecting spatial objects, such as houses, based on surrounding facilities such as restaurants, supermarkets, and stations. In the proposed method, a user specifies a list of...
A skyline query finds objects that are not dominated by another object from a given set of objects. Skyline queries help us to filter unnecessary information efficiently and provide us clues for various decision making tasks. In this paper, we present a method for computing spatial skyline objects such as hotels. Conventional skyline queries select hotels based on non-spatial attributes of hotels...
With the increase of data volume, advanced query operators, such as skyline queries, are necessary in order to help users to handle the huge amount of available data by identifying a set of interesting data objects. Skyline queries help us to filter unnecessary information efficiently and provide us clues for various decision making tasks. Most of the existing skyline algorithms can not preserve individual's...
Internet has become primary medium for information access, commerce in today's globalized world and almost every information is available in the Internet either in the native language of the user or in a non-native language. Therefore, it becomes easier to use another author's contents from the Internet without proper citation or reference and this tendency is increasing day-by-day. Such use of another...
A skyline query finds the objects that are not dominated by another object from a given set of objects. Skyline queries help us to filter unnecessary information efficiently and provide us clues for various decision making tasks. However, we have to be aware about the privacy of individual's. In privacy aware environments, we have to hide individual records' values even though there is no ID information...
