In this paper, we have proposed a novel algorithm based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for finding near-optimal solutions for the Multi-dimensional Multi-choice Knapsack Problem (MMKP). MMKP is a discrete optimization problem, which is a variant of the classical 0-1 Knapsack Problem and is also an NP-hard problem. Due to its high computational complexity, exact solutions of MMKP are not suitable...
In this paper we present a method for Bangla speech generation from Bangla PDF document. Our main goal is to generate almost natural speech from Bangla PDF document. For this we have proposed a method which performs three major tasks. One is PDF to text conversion, then text to ASCII conversion, and then follows the character and modifier rules while reading text and finally speech generation from...
A novel SQL Tunnelling system to allow communication with an SQL database is developed by utilising the standard Internet protocol HTTP. The communication with the database is allowed by a client interacting with a Web Service running on a standard off-the-shelf HTTP Server. With this tunnelling system, access to a database can be provided without providing access to the database native communication...
We introduce a facial expression recognition method, which incorporates a weight to the Local Binary Pattern (LBP), and generates solid expression features. Furthermore, we use Adaboost to select a small set of prominent features, which is used by the Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify facial expressions efficiently. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art...
Internet has gained huge popularity over the last decade. It offers its users reliable, efficient and exciting online services. However, the users reveal a lot of their personal information by using these services. Websites that collect information state their practices with data in their privacy policies. However, it is difficult to ensure if the policies are enforced properly in their practices...
The objective of this project is to build a character recognition system, which is able to recognize printed and handwritten character from A to Z. the typical optical character recognition systems, regardless the character's nature, are based mainly on three stages, preprocessing, features extraction, and discrimination. Each stage has its own problems and effects on the system efficiency which is...
Face recognition is considered as a high dimensionality problem. To handle high dimensionality, a numerous methods have been proposed in literature. In this paper, we propose a novel face recognition method that efficiently solves that problem using MPEG-7 edge histogram descriptor. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first attempt to use edge histogram descriptor in face recognition. Although...
