Default spacing is the optimal spacing for word reading

Balanced Korean Word Spacing with Structural SVM

Most studies on statistical Korean word spacing do not utilize the information provided by the input sentence and assume that it was completely concatenated. This makes the word spacer ignore the correct spaced parts of the input sentence and erroneously alter them. To overcome such limit, this paper proposes a structural SVM-based Korean word spacing method that can utilize the space informati...

Automatic Word Spacing Using Hidden Markov Model

Lateral interference, spacing, and word legibility

Visual processing of individual characters within a word can interfere with one another thereby decreasing word legibility. This largely results from the lateral interference occurring in the retina and the primary visual cortex, with the distance over which it operates largely fixed in size. Analysis of previous data demonstrates that the default spacing for 10 and 12 pt font is just large eno...

Optimal arrival traffic spacing via dynamic programming∗

We present the application of dynamic programming to a combinatorial optimization problem to achieve proper arrival runway spacing, which appears in the process of assigning speed during the transition to approach and approach phases of flight. We apply the algorithm to data from a fast-time simulation developed under NASA’s Advanced Air Transportation Technologies Project for investigating new...
