TANGERINE - A Tangible Awareness Landscape

Invisible devices supporting events that occur largely on the periphery of awareness are key features in the realisation of Weiser’s vision of a future in which computers disappear into the fabric of our homes, leisureand workplaces. It is easy to get absorbed by the technological challenges ahead. However, it is important to remember that not all of the ubiquitous media solutions to the issues...

A Counting Algorithm for Tangerine Yield Estimation

In this present paper, a new counting algorithm for tangerine yield estimation is adapted to obtain better results with respect to partially / semi partially occluded tangerine and its clusters. To optimize tangerine counting, and to minimize typical background noises from orchards (i.e. bare soil, weeds, and man-made objects), a tangerine fruit counting algorithm is implemented, and compared b...

ELT: A Trojan Horse in Disguise?

Many people believe that language teaching is a neutral practice. However, this belief is not without its own opponents. To many scholars, teaching languages cannot be devoid of teaching cultural values of the target language, which tacitly aims at denigrating cultural values of the community of the learners who are learning it. The ultimate purpose of such cultural oppression, according to the...

Tangerine: a large vocabulary Mandarin dictation system

The text input for non-alphabetic languages, such as Chinese, has been a decades-long problem. Chinese Dictation using large vocabulary speech recognition provides a convenient mode of text entry. In contrast to a character based Dictation system [5], a word-based Mandarin dictation system has been designed [3] (based on Apple's PlainTalk speech recognition technology [4]) for efficient entry o...
