Detection of foreign words is very much essential for smooth processing of natural language. A statistical language independent approach for automatic detection of foreign words in mixed language has been introduced in this paper. Initially, the proposed approach has been applied on Benglish text which is combination of Bangla text contains English words. The methodology can be easily adopted for other languages where such code mixing exists. The proposed approach yields an accuracy of 71.82% when tested on sentences collected from Bangla blogs and social networking websites.","PeriodicalId":107245,"journal":{"name":"2012 4th International Conference on Intelligent Human Computer Interaction (IHCI)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124804308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Iterative learning of multiple classifier system is carried out using the selected unlabeled patterns along with a few labeled patterns. Selection of unlabeled patterns for the next training step is done using ensemble agreement. Finally, the unlabeled patterns are assigned to a class by fusing the outcome of base classifiers using a combiner. For the present investigation, multilayer perceptron (MLP), elliptical basis function neural network (EBFNN) and fuzzy k-nearest neighbor (KNN) techniques are used as base classifiers. Experiments are carried out on multi-temporal and multi-spectral images and the results for the proposed methodology are found to be encouraging.","PeriodicalId":107245,"journal":{"name":"2012 4th International Conference on Intelligent Human Computer Interaction (IHCI)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121811606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a hybrid approach for mining CVs from parallel corpus combining rule-based and statistical approach. Though the proposed approach has been applied on Bangla-English parallel corpus to extract Bangla CVs, the methodology is equally applicable to other Indian languages of Indo-Aryan family, in presence of parts of speech tagger and sufficient amount of parallel corpus. Evaluation on Bangla-English parallel corpus of 50,000 sentences, the proposed approach yields an accuracy of 76% that can be improved by increasing the number of sentence pairs in the parallel corpus.","PeriodicalId":107245,"journal":{"name":"2012 4th International Conference on Intelligent Human Computer Interaction (IHCI)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125461387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper describes a multilayer design layout with a novel Pitch Based Dynamic Pruning (PBDP) algorithm to optimize VQ and GMM based close-set SR process. The process involves runtime selection of most likely speakers based on percentage of cumulative pitch occurrence frequencies within certain pitch ranges selected from the test utterance followed by a spectral matching using MFCC features within the reduced search space. Experiments on YOHO and NIST2008 corpus reveal that nearly 40% of the total identification time is being saved with slight (below 0.5%) increase or even decrease in average error rate.

One of the critical steps of such analysis of cells in video microscopy is to follow each of the cells through their generations and collect relevant information. Variability of cell density and dynamics in different video, hamper portability of existing automated cell tracking systems across videos. These errors have to be identified and corrected using human assistance to achieve tracker portability across videos. In this paper, we propose Event Indicator Function (EIF) classifier to predict the tracking errors and cell phenotypes (division and death) frame-by-frame using a set of features (metrics) that are collected during tracking. EIF classifier models the metrics using empirical thresholds to identify the errors and phenotypes. Finally, EIF classifier performance has been evaluated on variety of microscopic videos that differ both in cell density and dynamics, illustrated results show the significance of the proposed classifier.","PeriodicalId":107245,"journal":{"name":"2012 4th International Conference on Intelligent Human Computer Interaction (IHCI)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133281347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
