Arabic script character recognition is challenging task due to complexity of the script and huge number of ligatures. We present a method for the development of multilingual Arabic script OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and lexicon reduction for Arabic Script and its derivative languages. The objective of the proposed method is to overcome the large dataset Urdu and similar scripts by using...

This paper describes the design of a web based scheduler program and its implementation in the constraint logic programming language clp(FD). We give a formal description of this implementation using the interaction semantics of action languages recently developed by the authors. The clp code employs a port of the PiLLoW library and was compiled via C to executable code (using technology based ...

The Bisulfite Genomic Sequencing technique has found wide acceptance for the generation of DNA-methylation maps with single-base resolution. The method is based on the selective deamination of cytosine to uracil (and subsequent conversion to thymine via PCR), whereas 5-methylcytosine residues remain unchanged. Methylation maps are created by the comparison of bisulfite converted sequences with ...

Many games and simulations utilize modularized low-level code to move characters about in an environment. This requires extensive technical skill to translate basic high-level actions, as well as extensive time to write code, which includes very detailed instructions on what and when actions will occur across all agents. Other options exist such as mocap files; however, most are not highly dyna...

Researchers working in computational modelling can benefit a lot from coupling their code with a well established professional code, particularly when it is of a complementary discipline. However, this coupling is very difficult typically due to lack of a suitable interface or lack of detailed documentation of the commercial software. In this paper the computational fluid-structure interaction ...

Automatic identification of a script in a document image facilitates many important applications such as automatic archiving of multilingual documents; searching online archives of document images and for the selection of script specific OCR in a multilingual environment. In this work a technique for script identification from document images is proposed. The method uses vertical and horizontal...

The Transliterated Search track has been organized for the second year in FIRE. The track has two subtasks. Subtask 1 on language labeling of words in code-mixed text fragments was conducted for 6 Indian languages: Bangla, Gujarati, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, mixed with English. In Subtask 2 on retrieval of Hindi film lyrics, along with transliterated queries in Roman script, this year we...

Programs written in statically-typed languages are commonly extended with scripting engines that manipulate objects in the compiled layer. These scripting environments extend the capabilities of the program, at the cost of additional errors that would be caught by compile-time type checking. This paper describes a system for using type information from the compiled, statically-typed layer to pe...

In this paper we describe Nova, a new Java-based modeling platform that naturally supports the creation of models in the system dynamics, spatial and agent-based modeling paradigms. Nova uses a visual language to express model design, and provides automatic conversion for such models to script form for execution. Nova’s architecture promotes hierarchical design, code reuse, and extensibility th...

Although automatic Transliteration for Indian languages is a well studied paradigm, but availab le t ransliteration techniques fail in the Indian social media context due to phenomena such as wordplay, creative spelling, codemixing, and phonetic romanized typing; all implying that transliteration for Indian social media text has to be revisited. The paper reports an init ial study on automatic ...
