Recent Advances in Handwriting Recognition

Machine simulation of human reading has been subject of intensive research for the last three decades. This paper presents a summary about the recent advances in terms of character, word, numeral string, and setence recognition. In addition, the main new trends in the field of handwriting recognition are discussed and some important contributions are presented.

On the Development of EMG Control for a Prosthetic Hand

The human hand is a complex end-effector capable of an astonishingly large variety of postures. The ease with which the human hand seems to adapt to changing requirements is one of the challenges to the designer of a plausible substitute. At the Robotics Research Laboratory at USC there is an ongoing research project to covert an existing anthropomorphic, shape-adaptive robot hand into a viable...

Some Recent Advances in Speech Recognition with Potential Applications in Other Statistical Pattern Recognition Areas

In this talk, we will review some recent developments in the area of statistical speech recognition, and which could also be potentially useful to other statistical pattern recognition applications. Among other issues, we will discuss the use of new forms of expert mixtures, for example based on the minimization of the product of error probabilities. This rule, sometimes referred to as “produt-...

Recent Advances in Hemophilia Gene Therapy

Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...
