We propose a novel learning method combining query learning and a “genetic translator” we developed. Query learning is a useful technique for high-accuracy, high-speed learning. However, it has not been applied for practical optical character readers (OCRs), since human beings cannot recognize queries in the feature space used in practical OCR devices. We previously proposed a character image r...

We show that suux trees store various kinds of redundant information. We exploit these redundancies to obtain more space eecient representations. The most space eecient of our representations requires 20 bytes per input character in the worst case, and 10:1 bytes per input character on average for a collection of 42 les of diierent type. This is an advantage of more than 8 bytes per input chara...

We revisit the issue of counting all local fields of the restricted sine-Gordon model, in the case corresponding to a perturbation of minimal unitary conformal field theory. The problem amounts to the study of a quotient of certain space of polynomials which enter the integral representation for form factors. This space may be viewed as a q-analog of the space of conformal coinvariants associat...

Let M be a compact manifold with boundary. If M is connected, let XC(M) be the SL2(C)–character variety of M. If not, take XC(M) to be the cartesian product of the character varieties of its components. Throughout, S is a closed connected oriented hyperbolic surface, T(S) its Teichmüller space. By the Uniformization Theorem, T(S) is both the space of marked conformal structures on S and the spa...

In this paper, we propose a new method to compose physicallybased character controllers in low dimensional latent space. Source controllers are created by gradually updating the task parameter such as the external force applied to the body. During the optimization, instead of only saving the optimal controllers, we also keep a large number of nonoptimal controllers. These controllers provide kn...

In this paper, we have proposed a new concept of text compression/decompression algorithm using special character replacement technique. Moreover after the initial compression after replacement of special characters, we remove the spaces between the words in the intermediary compressed file in specific situations to get the final compressed text file. Experimental results show that the proposed...

We created the characters Agneta & Frida with the intent to strengthen and encourage exploration of information spaces. In a follow-up study we tried to capture whether users found the characters believable, whether they raised affective responses in users, and whether they created a richer more narratively oriented experience of the space. In order to do so, we had to develop new criteria and ...

We propose a novel space deformation method based on domain-decomposition to animate character skin. The method supports smoothness and local controllability of deformations, and can achieve interactive interpolating rates. Given a character, we partition it into multiple domains according to skinning weights, and attach each to a linear system, without seam artifacts. Examples are presented fo...
