The Nearest Neighbor Database (NNDB, http://rna.urmc.rochester.edu/NNDB) is a web-based resource for disseminating parameter sets for predicting nucleic acid secondary structure stabilities. For each set of parameters, the database includes the set of rules with descriptive text, sequence-dependent parameters in plain text and html, literature references to experiments and usage tutorials. The ...

This paper describes a new speech corpus, the RSR2015 database designed for text-dependent speaker recognition with scenario based on fixed pass-phrases. This database consists of over 71 hours of speech recorded from English speakers covering the diversity of accents spoken in Singapore. Acquisition has been done using a set of six portable devices including smart phones and tablets. The pool ...

Due to increasing size of text and audio data over internet, various techniques are needed to help with the finding and extraction of very specific information relevant to a user's task. Text mining is a variant on a field called data mining that tries to discover curious patterns from large databases. Singular value decomposition this technique is used for dimensionality reduction of large dat...

With the increasing availability of information in electronic form, the integration of textual data into database systems is becoming more and more important. Motivated by recent technology development, we describe how a preprocessor for simple text retrieval can be realised on top of a relational database system. This approach shows a surprisingly good performance compared to a commercially av...

Hypertext is a generalization of the conventional linear text into a non-linear text formed by adding cross-reference and structural links between different pieces of text. A hypertext can be regarded as an extension of a textual database by adding a link structure among the different text objects it stores. We present a tool for finding information in a distributed hypertext such as the World-...

In this paper, we propose the concept of synthesizing a multimedia cooking recipe from a text recipe and a database composed of video clips depicting cooking operations. A multimedia cooking recipe is a cooking recipe where each cooking operation is associated with a corresponding video clip depicting it, aimed to facilitate the understanding of cooking operations. In order to synthesize such a...

A patent always contains some images along with the text. Many text based systems have been developed to search the patent database. In this paper, we describe PATSEEK that is an image based search system for US patent database. The objective is to let the user check the similarity of his query image with the images that exist in US patents. The user can specify a set of key words that must exi...
