This paper describes an approach for Mixed-script Ad hoc retrieval, a subtask as part of FIRE 2015 Shared Task on Mixed Script Information Retrieval. We participated in subtask 2 of the shared task, where a statistical model was used to carry out back transliteration to Devanagari script. To perform the search, bigram based index of the documents were used and search was performed using pivot t...

The Elymaic script was identified by Michael Everson in 2001 in “Roadmapping early Semitic scripts” (N2311) as a suitable candidate for encoding in Unicode. It was allocated to the “Roadmap to the Supplementary Multilingual Plane” (v. 3.0) in the same year. Although no proposal to encode the script was submitted during the past sixteen years, preliminary research indicates there is current and ...

We address the problem of cross-script retrieval in the context of a microblog system such as Twitter. Specifically, we explore methods for using native Arabic script queries to retrieve Arabic tweets written in a Roman script known as Arabizi. For example, a query for “بباتك” would not match “kitab” even though an Arabic reader would see them as the same word. Moreover, because of the lack of ...

The hierarchical feature map system recognizes an input story as an instance of a particular script by classifying it at three levels: scripts, tracks and role bindings. The recognition taxonomy, i.e. the breakdown of each script into the tracks and roles, is extracted automatically and independently for each script from examples of script instantiations in an unsupervised self-organizing proce...

We tested, across three studies, the effect of the cultural life script on memory and its phenomenological properties. We focused in particular on the mnemonic effects of both schema-consistency and frequency in the life script. In addition to testing recognition (in Study 1) and recall (in Studies 2 and 3), we also collected remember/know judgements for remembered events (in Studies 1 and 2) a...

ÐThis paper describes a new method to recover a drawing order of a handwritten script from a static 2D image. The script should be written in a single stroke and may include double-traced lines. After the script is scanned in and preprocessed, we apply our recovery method which consists of two phases. In the first phase, we globally analyze the graph constructed from the skeletal image and labe...

Objectives: To determine the relationship between script concordance test scores obtained at the end of clerkship rotation in ob-gyn and global performance measures for the entire curriculum as expressed by a preclinical and clerkship score in the Dean’s Letter. The relationship also considered two other existing instruments. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on a convenience sam...
