In this paper, we introduce a digital edition of the Altan Tobchi, a Mongolian historical manuscript written in traditional Mongolian script. The Text Encoding Initiative guidelines were adopted to encode the named entities, commentaries, transcriptions, and interpretations of ancient Mongolian words. Named entities such as personal names and place names were extracted from digitized text by employing...
In this study, we combine a voxel selection method with temporal mesh model to decode the discriminative information distributed in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data. We first employ one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) feature selection to select the most informative voxels. Then, we form meshes around selected voxels with their spatial and functional neighbors by employing the Mesh...
P300 speller for Brain-Computer Interface systems aim to provide a direct communication between computer - machine and human brain, without any muscular activity. The communication is provided by detecting the presence of P300 Event Related Potentials (ERPs) in the electroencophelogram (EEG) signals, recorded from scalp. The major problem associated with P300 spellers is the stratification of EEGs...
The bag of visual words is a well established representation in diverse computer vision problems. Taking inspiration from the fields of text mining and retrieval, this representation has proved to be very effective in a large number of domains. In most cases, a standard term-frequency weighting scheme is considered for representing images and videos in computer vision. This is somewhat surprising,...
The visually impaired people lack visual information to realize the obstructions and obstacles in their path thus making it difficult for them to perform their day-to-day tasks comfortably and efficiently. Digital assistance techniques have proven to be a boon for these visually challenged sections of the society. Detection of an obstacle free-path for an easier and smooth navigation of visually impaired...
Creativity is a delicate subject when it comes to the understanding of how/when and why it occurs. In the last two decades considerable contributions incorporating creative mechanisms in computer applications were made. Recently, the discussion is turning towards the problems that are under the process of evaluating computer created visual objects, mainly in the area related to the automating aesthetic...
Science and technology progress fast, but mouse and keyboard are still used to control multimedia devices. One of the limiting factors of gesture based HCIs adoption is the detection of the user's intention to interact. This study tries to make a step in that direction with use of consumer EEG sensor headset. EEG headset records in real-time data that can help to identify intention of the user based...
This article shows the comparison experiment of automatic and manual classification. In the experiment, 80 individuals are invited in the manual group, and four trials for every comparative group are conducted. After analyzing the results, the authors bring forward some suggestion to introduce manual behaviors into video mining to enhance the effect.
Thumbnail cropping helps improve thumbnail readability by cropping images before shrinking them. In this paper we propose a learning based method for automatic thumbnail cropping. To this end, we use a support vector machine to learn a discriminative model that simultaneously captures the saliency distribution and spatial priors. The model is then used to determine the best cropping rectangle. The...
For solving "semantic gap" which exists between the low-features and the high-level semantic features and the fuzziness of users' comprehension, combining Ontology and Fuzzy sets, an universal image semantic description model based on fuzzy domain ontology (SDMFDO) is constructed. Ontology is a kind of model that is used to describe the concepts and the relations of them, and fuzzy set theory...
In this paper we propose "SoTong" system for enhancing family relationship with relation oriented communication. In the relation oriented communications, we focus on the relationship by representation and promotion of relations together with awareness of other's situation for the connectedness and the coexistence. The system captures and analyzes communication channels among modern families...
