AAM is a robust methodology for general image (object) descriptions that incorporates shape and texture information. In this work, we extend the basic AAMs by developing a new method for texture description for the application of human facial modeling and synthesizing. The premise is to develop a better texture based model for the face that incorporates specific facial information such as wrinkling, micro-features (e.g., moles, scares, freckles, etc.), and aging features (e.g., sagging, hollowing of checks, weight gain, etc.) This paper proposes a new improvement in texture synthesis-Gabor Wavelet-based Appearance Model. The experimental results demonstrate the potential of this approach for face-based applications.","PeriodicalId":115212,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies, Research, Innovation, and Vision for the Future","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115391872","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}

It impacts deeply how the quality of a Statistical Machine Translation could achieve. The more parallel sentence pairs we use to train the system, the better translation's quality it is. Nowadays, comparable non-parallel corpora become important resources to alleviate scarcity of parallel corpora. The problem here is how to extract parallel sentence pairs automatically but accurately from comparable non-parallel corpora, which are usually very \"noisy\". This paper presents how we can apply the reinforcement-learning scheme with our new proposed algorithm for detecting parallel sentence pairs. We specify that from an initial set of parallel sentences in a domain, the proposed model can extract a large number of new parallel sentence pairs from non-parallel corpora resources in different domains, concurrently increasing the system's translation ability gradually.","PeriodicalId":115212,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies, Research, Innovation, and Vision for the Future","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117204256","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}

In general, the problem is proved to be NP-hard and unless P = NP, a polynomial time approximation scheme is unlikely to exist. Therefore, using approximation algorithm is a suitable approach for solving the problem. In recent times, several approximation algorithms were proposed. However, efficiency of the algorithms was only evaluated in a theoretical manner. They did not indicate real approximation ratio, running time in reality and there is a lack of comparison between the algorithms from experiments. In addition, quality of lower bound, which was an important part of the algorithms, was not mentioned. In an approach to fulfill these omissions, we implemented the algorithms on several test data to evaluate and compare real efficiency of them in terms of real ratio, running time and quality of lower bound.","PeriodicalId":115212,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies, Research, Innovation, and Vision for the Future","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114141610","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 method is not only fitted to component-based software but also has a potential to solve the state space explosion problem in model checking. However, the computational cost for generating the minimal assumption is very high so the method is difficult to be applied in practice. This paper presents an optimization as a continuous work of the minimized assumption generation method in order to reduce the complexity of the method. The key idea of this method is to find a smaller assumption in a sub-tree of the search tree containing the candidate assumptions using the depth-limited search strategy. With this approach, the improved method can generate smaller assumptions with a lower computational cost and consumption memory than the minimized method. The generated assumptions are also effective for rechecking the systems at much lower computational cost in the context of software evolution. We have implemented a tool supporting the improved method. Experimental results are also presented and discussed.","PeriodicalId":115212,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies, Research, Innovation, and Vision for the Future","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134280603","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}

The research community has made several efforts in proposing agent-based simulators or meta-models, which accommodate for multi-scale agent-based modeling. Unfortunately, the proposed simulators are often tight to a specific model. And the proposed meta-models exist only as formal proposals without a concrete implementation supported by an operational modeling language. The lack of a common operational meta-model and an associated operational modeling language raises the question of reusability and increase the danger of \"re-inventing the wheel\" when one develops new models. Moreover, the operational semantics of such multi-scale models may differ without having defined a solid theoretical ground. Our research aims at proposing a generic meta-model for multi-scale agent-based modeling. In our approach, we revisit the fundamental notions of agent modeling (agent/environment/scheduler) in order to support a recursive representation of these notions in an agent-based model. To test the operational semantic of the proposed model, we implement this meta-model as an agent-based modeling language in the GAMA simulation platform. This paper presents such a meta- model and how its concepts can be used to formalize multi-scale agent-based models.","PeriodicalId":115212,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE RIVF International Conference on Computing & Communication Technologies, Research, Innovation, and Vision for the Future","volume":"3 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133700947","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}
