Recognition of Syntactic Structure by Computer

Parallel construction of syntactic structure for continuous speech recognition

Face Recognition by Computer

We describe a coding scheme to index face images for subsequent retrieval, which seems effective, under some conditions, at coding the faces themselves, rather than particular face images, and uses typically 100 bytes. We report tests searching a pool of 100 faces, using as cue a different image of a face in the pool, taken 10 years later. In two of three tests with different faces, the target ...

Speech Recognition by Computer

Modern computers have prodi­ gious powers, but they would be still more useful if more nat­ ural ways of communicating with them were possible. The evolution of spoken language has made it well adapted to the needs of human communication. It is fast and nearly effortless. It requires nei­ ther visual nor physical contact and it places few restrictions on the mobility of the body or on the use o...

Design of Thickener by Computer

A mathematical method for calculation of the minimum cross-sectional area of a thickener is presented by obtaining minimum laboratory batch settling test data, a function, which is called settling function, is derived. This function is found to be in the form of a polynomial of third order. The settling function and mass flux relation are used for the design of thickener. The method predict...

Syntactic recognition of skeletal maturity

A hierarchical three-stage syntactic recognition algorithm using context-free grammars is described for automatic identification of skeletal maturity from X-rays of hand and wrist. The primitives considered are dot, straight line and arcs of three different curvatures (including both senses) in order to describe and interpret the structural development of epiphysis and metaphysis with growth of...
