As there is an increased consumption of social media content, there is a shift from the consumption of traditional medias in which formal language are used regularly such as broadcast and traditional print medias. Social media posts are a reflection of the trend, where posts usually made by younger generations usually involve communication in slang and non-formal language which is not typically available in formalized dictionaries. As the Thai population like to follow trends, one of behaviors of that many Thai social media users engage in, is to follow the latest popular social media trends in slang and word usage. As slang are changed and evolved over time, it is usually useful to have an online mining tool in which could capture the trends of emerging and popular slang. This paper proposes an approach that extracts popular Thai slang by comparing social media posts and utilizing tokenization, a dictionary based approach to extract unknown words, before expanding it by using n-gram approach to figure what are currently trending and popular slang words.","PeriodicalId":350687,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Knowledge and Smart Technology (KST)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131433133","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 robot navigation task, for example, does not only require a robust and accurate tracking, but also need the tracking module to perform in real-time. This may not be a problem with hi-end robotic system with powerful computing unit. However, in the case of mobile robot where the computing and the battery power are limited, there are only a few tracking methods available. Thus, we propose an algorithm, coupled with a designed marker, for fast and stable tracking. The proposed algorithm utilizes robustness of Hough Circle Transform to detect candidate locations for the marker. Then, all the detected locations are filtered by known properties of the designed marker until we have the correct location. An experiment done on Raspberry PI shows that the marker can be detected robustly with sufficient speed.","PeriodicalId":350687,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Knowledge and Smart Technology (KST)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124979462","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 raw acceleration of the hand's movement is calibrated initially using acceleration-time graph analysis and a modified version of peak detection based on moving average is used to obtain the constraints for genetic algorithm.

It is, however, difficult to point to a target steadily by using eye gaze as the input, because eyes have the property of involuntary movement. It is, therefore, sometimes hard to perform stable target selection and may cause target selection errors. In this paper, gaze point is regarded to spread spatially and temporally.

The proposed method only requires leaf contour and the location of apex and base as inputs. Starting from an origin point, which can be either the apex or base, the contour is tracked in two directions, i.e., leftward and rightward, and then sampled at five different distances from the origin point. The angle formed by the origin and two sampled points, at each distance, is then calculated. Altogether, 10 angle features, five from the apex and five from the base, are obtained. These features are invariant to translation, rotation, and scaling. In addition, this paper also aims to measure the effectiveness of the proposed apical and basal features. In the experiment, two sets of features are compared. The first set includes 12 shape descriptors while the second set includes not only the 12 shape descriptors but also the proposed features. By using support vector machine as a classifier, leaf identification has been done by using the two sets of features. Experimental results indicate that the use of apical and basal features can significantly improve the accuracy of leaf identification.","PeriodicalId":350687,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Knowledge and Smart Technology (KST)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132725701","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}

Deep Convolutional networks (ConvNets) have been specially designed for various computer vision tasks. In image classification, it contains many layers to automatically extract image features and employs the softmax function at the last layer to predict a probability. Although it excels in feature extraction, the classification is still limited. In this paper, we propose to apply SVMs into ConvNets to detect a mass on mammograms. To overcome the scarcity of training images, a data augmentation technique is employed to increase the sample data. To further enhance the accuracy, two recent techniques in ConvNets are applied including (i) rectified linear units and (ii) dropout. The experiment was conducted on the INbreast data set.
