Visual recognition (e.g., object, scene and action recognition) is an active area of research in computer vision due to its increasing number of real-world applications such as video (image) indexing and search, intelligent surveillance, human-machine interaction, robot navigation, etc. Effective modeling of the objects, scenes and actions is critical for visual recognition. Recently, bag of vi...

Most large vocabulary speech recognition systems essentially consist of a training algorithm and a recognition structure which is essentially a search for the best path through a rather large decoding network. Although the performance of the recognizer is crucially tied to the details of the training procedure, it is absolutely essential that the recognition structure be efficient in terms of c...

Linked Datasets typically evolve over time because triples can be removed from or added to datasets, which results in different dataset versions. While most attention is typically given to the latest dataset version, a lot of useful information is still present in previous versions and its historical evolution. In order to make this historical information queryable at Web scale, a low-cost inte...

Active learning provides useful tools to reduce annotation costs without compromising classifier performance. However it traditionally views the supervisor simply as a labeling machine. Recently a new interactive learning paradigm was introduced that allows the supervisor to additionally convey useful domain knowledge using attributes. The learner first conveys its belief about an actively chos...

this study aims at investigating a sexual vocabulary in qur’an, by clarriffaying ephemestic styles, adopted in “qur’an”, to refer to the taboo vocabulary, the study depends on “kashaaf” of “al zamakhshary”. the study results in the facts that sexual vocabulary, from the majority of the taboo words. these vocabularies may have close or distint meaning in relation to the taboo words. thus, the me...

most of the studies on the key word method of second/foreign language vocabulary learning have been based on the evidence from laboratory experiments and have primarily involved the use of english key words to learn the vocabularies of other languages. furthermore, comparatively quite limited number of such studies is done in authentic classroom contexts. the present study inquired into the eff...
