The present paper aims to bring some interesting iris recognition related problems in attention of the artificial intelligence research community and also to mark the release of the first publicly available set of processing tools for University of Bath Iris Image Database (UBIID), tools that can be used to generate test data sets, without losing precious time. New recognition results for UBIID...

The Gene Ontology has evolved as the de facto standard for describing gene function in the biomedical domain. Information about gene function can be often found in written articles. In this work we evaluate three tools capable of recognizing Gene Ontology concepts in text on an automatically generated gold standard of 88,573 articles. The analysis reveals differences in concept recognition for ...

OBJECTIVE Early identification of sepsis could enable prompt delivery of key interventions such as fluid resuscitation and antibiotic administration which, in turn, may lead to improved patient outcomes. Limited data indicate that recognition of sepsis by paramedics is often poor. We systematically reviewed the literature on prehospital sepsis screening tools to determine whether they improved ...

This paper describes tools for character string recognition on maps Single character recognition is performed using elliptical Fourier descriptors applying a statistical classi er The recognized characters are grouped into strings and the syntax of these strings are then analysed to detect and correct errors As training of the classi er is essential tools for manual and automatic training and u...

In this paper we provide the state-of-the-art of existing proprietary and free and open source software (FOSS) automatic speech recognition (ASR), speech synthesizers, and Machine Translation (MT) tools. We also focus on the need for multimodal communication including gestures, furnishing some examples of 3D gesture recognition software. Our current experiment is based on interoperability betwe...
