Books for beginning readers typically intermix text and pictures in close proximity. The proximity of difficult-todecode text to pictures may induce competition between these sources of information. As a result, children may frequently shift gaze between text and pictures, which may degrade memory representations of the text and reduce comprehension. A mobile eye tracker was used to measure chi...

When text is translated from one language into another, sentiment is preserved to varying degrees. In this paper, we use Arabic social media posts as stand-in for source language text, and determine loss in sentiment predictability when they are translated into English, manually and automatically. As benchmarks, we use manually and automatically determined sentiment labels of the Arabic texts. ...

This paper describes an alternative translation model based on a text chunk under the framework of statistical machine translation. The translation model suggested here first performs chunking. Then, each word in a chunk is translated. Finally, translated chunks are reordered. Under this scenario of translation modeling, we have experimented on a broadcoverage Japanese-English traveling corpus ...

Handwritten Chinese text recognition (HCTR) has been an active research topic for decades. However, most previous studies solely focus on the of cropped line images, ignoring error caused by detection in real-world applications. Although some approaches aimed at page-level have proposed recent years, they either are limited to simple layouts or require very detailed annotations including expens...

There are some documents where text lines are not parallel to each other i.e. different text lines of a single page may have different inclinations (orientations) with the horizontal lines. To enhance the ability of document analysis system, we need text line extraction in multiple orientations. In this papers we propose a robust technique (a) to detect text lines of arbitrary orientation in a ...
