We propose a general method for adapting a writerindependent classifier to an individual writer. We employ a mixture of experts formulation, where the classifiers are trained on weighted clusters of writers. The clusters are determined by which experts classify individual writing correctly. The method adapts by choosing the appropriate combination of classifiers for a new user. It applies to an...

State-of-the-art systems for automatic writer identification from handwritten text are based on two approaches: a statistical approach or a model-based approach. Both approaches have limitations. The main limitation of the statistical approach is that it relies on single-scale statistical features. The main limitation of the model-based approach is that the codebook generation is time-consuming...

In this paper, we present the design, implementation and evaluation of a new distributed shared memory (DSM) coherence model called multiple-writer entry consistency (MEC). MEC combines the eecient communication mechanisms of Lazy Release Consistency (LRC) with the exible data management of the Shared Regions 17, 11] and Entry Consistency (EC) models 5]. This is achieved in MEC by decoupling sy...

Our aim is to achieve writer identification process thanks to a fractal analysis of handwriting style. For each writer, a set of characteristics is extracted. They are specific to the writer. Advantage is taken from the autosimilarity properties that are present in one’s handwriting. In order to do that, some invariant patterns characterizing the writing are extracted. During the training step ...

This paper presents a detailed comparison of the relative importance of allowing concurrent writers versus the choice of the underlying consistency model. Our comparison is based on single-and multiple-writer versions of a lazy release consistent (LRC) protocol, and a single-writer sequentially consistent protocol, all implemented in the CVM software distributed shared memory system. We nd that...

This project generates random text based on the patterns of characters in a source file. By analyzing given text for character patterns, random characters can be selected according to the likelihood that it follows any given length k of characters, and the resulting generated text is then outputted to a file. Based on the length k chosen for these ”seeds” of characters, different levels of anal...

legitimacy is among the factors that bring stability and effectiveness to a political system. in this article, the writer argues that there is a stronger tendency to keep and amend the basic rules of the system of the islamic republic of iran than to change and replace them. also, there is a stronger tendency to amend the present rules than to keep them as they are. political legitimacy, the wr...
