We argue that the task of representing interrelationships between things requires the use of visual techniques. Our common verbal factual approaches to information tend to miss something essential – the "perspective". In the article the perspective is defined and explained with the help of a visual technique, the ideograms. It is shown that ideograms can be used for expressing and correcting th...

We propose a novel method that exploits visual information of ideograms and logograms in analyzing Japanese review documents. Our method first converts font images of Japanese characters into character embeddings using convolutional neural networks. It then constructs document embeddings from the character embeddings based on Hierarchical Attention Networks, which represent the documents based ...

We present an alternative method to address the challenge of positive identification of Chinese characters in dense text images. This method could be utilized as a front end interface to an Optical Character Recognition engine and in fact is applicable not only to Chinese, but to any language that utilizes ideograms or symbols whose distribution has a regular Cartesian arrangement. Keywords—Chi...

A patient with a complex chromosome rearrangement and unilateral Rieger syndrome is presented. This rearrangement involves four chromosomes and six breakpoints, one of which is at 4q25, the candidate region for Rieger syndrome. We discuss a novel approach to the elucidation of this case using a multiprobe fluorescence in situ hybridisation method to show rearrangements unpredictable from G band...

Mammalian chromosomes are comprised of complex chromatin architecture with the specific assembly and configuration of each chromosome influencing gene expression and function in yet undefined ways by varying degrees of heterochromatinization that result in Giemsa (G) negative euchromatic (light) bands and G-positive heterochromatic (dark) bands. We carried out morphometric measurements of high-...

Online communication is pervasive and succeptible to changes due to communications technologies of use. This article discusses the reality of logograms and ideograms on the rise on online communications. Specifically, the place of English in online media is assessed in terms of its relevance as a dominant language. Graphic examples of logography and ideography as present in ubiquitous computer-...

The Korean orthographic system consists of both phonograms (Hangul) and ideograms (Hanja). Hangul is a phonetic alphabet comprised of consonants and vowels that are grouped together to form syllables that generally exhibit regular correspondences between graphemes and phonemes. On the other hand, Hanja is derived from complex Chinese characters with distinct meanings. In this respect, Hanja and...
