We take the idea of Level of Detail (LOD) from its traditional use in computer graphics and apply it to the behavior of virtual characters. We describe how our approach handles LOD determination and how we used it to reduce the simulation quality of multiple aspects of the characters’ behavior in an existing application.

The main difficulties in printed Bangla text recognition are the separation of lines, words and individual characters.

The core concept of phylogenetic systematics is the use of derived or apomorphic characters to reconstruct common ancestry relationships and the grouping of taxa based on common ancestry. This concept, first formalized by Hennig (1950, 1966), has been slowly, and not so quietly, changing the nature of systematics. Why should we be interested in this approach? What about phylogenetic systematics...

This paper proposes an approach to identify word candidates that are not Traditional Chinese, including Japanese names (written in Japanese Kanji or Traditional Chinese characters) and word variants, when doing word segmentation on Traditional Chinese text. When handling personal names, a probability model concerning formats of names is introduced. We also propose a method to map Japanese Kanji...
