Our latest studies of this phenomenon, which were performed for the largest sample of pulsars used for this purpose, have shown that the amount of the observed scattering strongly depends on the observing frequency. However, the slope of the dependence is different from the theoretical predictions based on simple scattering models of the turbulent ISM. Low frequency observations are crucial for the study of the scattering phenomenon, since it is at frequencies below a few hundred megahertz where the effects of scattering are the strongest. Currently for pulsar observations we are using all three POLFAR (POlish Low Frequency ARray) stations, which are a part of the International Low Frequency Array (ILT) telescope. The wide bandwidth of the telescope's receivers allows us to study the frequency evolution of interstellar scattering with a single observation. We will present the first results of this project.","PeriodicalId":362184,"journal":{"name":"2018 Baltic URSI Symposium (URSI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131291548","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}

Distinguishing equations from other text and objects on given image involves a deeper understanding of individual symbols, patterns, and their relative positions. Standard segmentation methods used for this kind of task will fail immediately because they mostly rely on noticeable differences between color and shape of different objects. By using a fully convolutional neural network and image to image transformation, we were able to achieve state of the art results in finding mathematical formulas in movie frames extracted from data science conferences videos. Current status of the work, results and further development plans are presented.","PeriodicalId":362184,"journal":{"name":"2018 Baltic URSI Symposium (URSI)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116535124","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}
