The cursive and connected nature of text lines on one hand and the presence of artefacts and noise on the other hand hinder achieving plausible results using current image processing algorithm. In this paper, we present a new algorithm which we termed QTE (Query by Text Example) that allows for training-free and binarisation-free pattern spotting in scanned handwritten historical documents. Our algorithm gives promising results on a subset of our database revealing ~83% success rate in locating word patterns supplied by the user.","PeriodicalId":210905,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128320236","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}

Selfies, a new form of user-generated content, have become an important part of the visual communication in social media. A large portion of images posted on some social networks are selfies. Behind each of these selfies lie the sentiments of the person in the photo posted. The authors of this paper believe that adding quantified sentiment indicators to these selfies can be a valuable addition to not only the social network users but also to the many networks already in existence. Motivated by the idea, the authors propose an addition to social networks that automatically captures the sentiments expressed in selfies as they are being posted. The captured sentiments are then presented along with the selfies' on the users' timeline. In this research, the authors propose Momented, a selfie social network. Momented works by tracking the sentiments expressed in the selfies posted on the Momented social network. Based on the emotions tracked from a particular selfie, the system automatically generates sentiment bearing hashtags. Tthe selfie along with the automatically generated hash tags are posted on the user's dashboard timeline.","PeriodicalId":210905,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114228363","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}

These systems have more and more facilities, flexibilities and human development, to respond effectively against the delicate situations in the real world, which require the development of more efficient, fast, accurate signal processing and decision algorithms. This paper presents a classification of intelligent real-time roadway into 4 classes: asphalt, gravel, snow-covered road, stone road. This system combines between a descriptor, the acoustic signal produced by the tire-road friction, based either on the Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient algorithm or on the Discrete Wavelet Transform algorithm and a classifier of artificial neuron like Multilayer Perception network. This paper also presents a comparison of results obtained in terms of execution time and in terms of the correct classification for the 2 systems: a system consisting of Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient descriptor and an artificial neuron network classifier Multilayer Perception type and another system composed of a Discrete Wavelet Transform descriptor and the same type of classifier.","PeriodicalId":210905,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132628532","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}

We attempt to verify and validate this assumption in object-oriented paradigm. Two candidate metrics were chosen, one for stability and one for maintainability. CSM is used in stability due to its high accuracy and wide coverage. MI was chosen for maintainability due to its clarity, ease of use and solely based on source code. The experiment shows that there is fluctuation in the correlation behavior between these two metrics and a direct causality cannot be concluded. However, in-depth analysis and through tracing of all the steps of these experiments reveal promising results. These observations can aid researchers to measure the correlation between CSM and MI correctly.","PeriodicalId":210905,"journal":{"name":"2016 7th International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133515110","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}
