The Amharic language is the principal language of over 20 million people mainly in Ethiopia. An extensive literature survey reveals no journal or conference papers on Amharic character recognition. The Amharic script has 33 basic characters each with seven orders giving 231 distinct characters, not including numbers and punctuation symbols. The characters are cursive but not connected and unlik...

lation, does not produce a sufficient clean differ'4B-m ence image for text recognition. In analogy to this subtraction we propose the The proposed method has the aim to name 'symbolic subtraction' for our new separate the filled in (typed or handwritten) approach in this paper: the 'symbolic difference' information in a form, from the fixed preprinted Sym(FF)-Sym(BF) means the recognition of t...

This paper introduces a notion of intersection type assignment on the Lambda Calculus that is a restriction of the BCD-system as presented in [4]. This restricted system is essential in the following sense: it is an almost syntax directed system that satisfies all major properties of the BCD-system. The set of typeable terms can be characterized in the same way, the system is complete with resp...

The present system aspires to analyse snapshots of written text and create fully customizable text files using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. It is well known that the discrepancies in typed optical language have led to the advent of new technology for assessing the written text. Many font sizes and styles are introduced everyday calling for frequent updates in recognition tech...

This paper gives an overview of intersection type assignment for the Lambda Calculus, as well as compare in detail variants that have been defined in the past. It presents the essential intersection type assignment system, that will prove to be as powerful as the wellknown BCD-system. It is essential in the following sense: it is an almost syntax directed system that satisfies all major propert...

In metallurgy the quality of the liquid metal has the biggest influence on the quality of the final products. The amount of metallic and non-metallic impurities has great impact on the consecutive stages of technological processes such as: casting, plastic working, heat treatment, etc. That is why the refining process is considered to be one of the most important parts of the basic technologica...

In Chinese orthography, a dominant structure exists in which a semantic radical appears on the left and a phonetic radical on the right (SP characters); the minority, opposite arrangement also exists (PS characters). Recent studies showed that SP character processing is more left hemisphere (LH) lateralized than PS character processing; nevertheless, it remains unclear whether this is due to ph...
