Skimming through space

The rational skimming theorem

We define the notion of K-covering of automata with multiplicity (in a semiring K) that extend the one of covering of automata. We make use of this notion, together with the Schützenberger construct that we have explained in a previous work and that we briefly recall here, in order to give a direct and constructive proof of a fundamental theorem on N-rational power series. In a previous work (c...

Interactively Skimming Recorded Speech

Listening to a speech recording is much more difficult than visually scanning a document because of the transient and temporal nature of audio. Audio recordings capture the richness of speech, yet it is difficult to directly browse the stored information. This dissertation investigates techniques for structuring, filtering, and presenting recorded speech, allowing a user to navigate and interac...

Personalized Environment for Skimming Documents

We developed a support system for skimming documents on computer screen. The system has interface for document readability from computer screen and recommends personalized summaries. The interface of this system is introduced the visualized effect based on combining fisheye view and overview+detail; the focus points of fisheye view are selected sentences by using the original extraction algorit...

Oblique slamming, planing and skimming

This paper describes how tangential impact velocities can be incorporated into wellknown impact theories in deep and shallow water. Taking the deep and shallow flows in turn, it is shown how to link the normal impact Wagner and Korobkin theories to the tangential impact theories of planing and skimming respectively. An instability is revealed that limits the configurations that can be analysed ...
