The objective of this project is to develop smart library management system using robot. This scheme facilitates fast issuing, reissuing and returning of book with the help of robotic arm. It provides the book information and library associate information to the library management system and does not require the manual typing. In case of any difficulty faced by the robot when it does book searc...

The recently arrived desktop search applications are weaker than their web siblings as they cannot rely on PageRank-like ranking methods which have revolutionized web search, since the documents are not well connected on the desktop. The general aim of this thesis proposal is to discuss how to enhance and contextualize desktop search based on semantic metadata collected from different contexts ...

NAG Libraries have many powerful and reliable optimizers which can be used to solve large portfolio optimization and selection problems in the financial industry. Below is an introduction into the notation and techniques used in portfolio optimization. We discuss some sample problems and present help in choosing an appropriate NAG optimizer. Finally, there is a section on handling transaction c...

This project has been created to develop a biometric identification system through a man's iris using a computer to perform the processing of the pictures. To develop this application, and to differentiate the project from others who have already implemented, we have used the image processing library JAVAVis and JAVA as a programming language. I.INTRODUCTION Biometrics is based on the premise t...

GPflow is a Gaussian process library that uses TensorFlow for its core computations and Python for its front end. The distinguishing features of GPflow are that it uses variational inference as the primary approximation method, provides concise code through the use of automatic differentiation, has been engineered with a particular emphasis on software testing and is able to exploit GPU hardwar...

The article describes the original method of creating a dictionary of abbreviations based on the Google Books Ngram Corpus. The dictionary of abbreviations is designed for Russian, yet as its methodology is universal it can be applied to any language. The dictionary can be used to define the function of the period during text segmentation in various applied systems of text processing. The artic...
