1. INTRODUCTION The character recognition of the Roman type of languages especially English has come near to perfection and it is also considered as one of the successful application in the field of computer vision. The work on Arabic script and other scripts is being continued on; but the languages adopting Arabic script is very little while the work on Sindhi language is near to its origin. T...

A system for online recognition of handwritten Telugu script is presented. A handwritten character is constructed by executing a sequence of strokes. A structureor shape-based representation of a stroke is used in which a stroke is represented as a string of shape features. Using this string representation, an unknown stroke is identified by comparing it with a database of strokes. A full chara...

This study investigated effects of cross-language similarity on within- and between-language Stroop interference and facilitation in three groups of trilinguals. Trilinguals were either proficient in three languages that use the same-script (alphabetic in German-English-Dutch trilinguals), two similar scripts and one different script (Chinese and alphabetic scripts in Chinese-English-Malay tril...

Nasta’leeq is a bidirectional, diagonal, non-monotonic, cursive, highly context-sensitive and very complex writing style for languages like Urdu, Punjabi, Balochi and Kashmiri. Each is written in a variant of the Perso-Arabic script. The style is characterized by well-formed orthographic rules that are passed down from generation to generation of calligraphers and old manuscripts. It is present...

This paper describes the process of creating a novel resource, a parallel Arabizi-Arabic script corpus of SMS/Chat data. The language used in social media expresses many differences from other written genres: its vocabulary is informal with intentional deviations from standard orthography such as repeated letters for emphasis; typos and nonstandard abbreviations are common; and nonlinguistic co...

Handwritten word recognition and spotting of low-resource scripts are difficult as sufficient training data is not available and it is often expensive for collecting data of such scripts. This paper presents a novel cross language platform for handwritten word recognition and spotting for such low-resource scripts where training is performed with a sufficiently large dataset of an available scr...

Models of written word recognition in languages using the Roman alphabet assume that a word's visual form is quickly mapped onto abstract units. This proposal is consistent with the finding that masked priming effects are of similar magnitude from lowercase, uppercase, and alternating-case primes (e.g., beard-BEARD, BEARD-BEARD, and BeArD-BEARD). We examined whether this claim can be readily ge...

The transliteration has attracted interest of several sections of researchers. Several techniques of transliteration have been developed and used – both statistical based approaches and rule based approaches. In the present method, a simple but effective rule based technique is developed for the transliteration between Bengali script and Meetei Mayek script of written Manipuri text. Typically, ...

The paper describes a neural network-based script identification system which can be used in the machine reading of documents written in English, Hindi and Kannada language scripts. Script identification is a basic requirement in automation of document processing, in multi-script, multi-lingual environments. The system developed includes a feature extractor and a modular neural network. The fea...

Atebetü’l-Hakâyık, Edib Ahmed Yüknekî tarafından 12. yüzyılda yazıldığı düşünülen ve Karahanlı Türkçesi dönemi eserlerinden sayılan dinî ahlakî bir öğüt kitabıdır. Atebetü’l-Hakâyık’ın günümüzde bilinen beş nüshası bulunmaktadır. Bu nüshalar Semerkand nüshası, Ayasofya Topkapı Fuat Köprülü tanıtılan fakat daha sonra kaybolan Uzunköprü ilk kez 2019 yılında tüm yönleriyle Hollanda nüshasıdır. dış...
