Recognition of Hindi and Bengali Handwritten and Typed Text from Images using Tesseract on Android Platform

The concept of digitization has marked a revolution in the area of data conversion, data storage and data sharing by converting non-editable typographic &amp; handwritten text into editable electronic text. Though numerous such works have been carried out across the world in various languages using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), satisfactory output has been observed only in a few languages. This paper is an endeavor towards taking a step ahead in the digitization of two of the most extensively spoken languages in the Indian sub-continent – Hindi and Bengali - using Google’s open source OCR Engine, Tesseract. Working on the scripts of these two languages of Brahmi origin has its own challenges owing to their varied traits of character segmentation and word formation. Here, the training of Tesseract with data sets of Hindi and Bengali typographic and handwritten characters has been integrated with an inimitable pre-processing stage involving input image customization and image augmentation that significantly enhances the image quality allowing Tesseract to offer more accurate results, especially in cases of handwritten texts and obscure images. Besides, it also incorporates the features of English translation and text to speech translation which render their significance among the non-natives and visually impaired mass. The focal idea of this paper has been to reach out to an extended mass by enabling digitization on the Android platform. Comparative analysis carried out on three distinctive parameters - on images with typographic texts, handwritten texts and on inferior quality images - shows that the paper, to a certain extent, does succeed in projecting superior output in at least two cases as compared to the most consistent Android application of today’s time.
Word meaning in academic English: homography in the Academic Word List

The Academic Word List (Coxhead 2000) consists of 570 word families that are frequent and wide ranging in academic texts. It was created by counting the frequency, range, and evenness of spread of word forms in a specially constructed academic corpus. This study examines the words in the Academic Word List (AWL) to see if the existence of unrelated meanings for the same word form (homographs) has resulted in the inclusion of words in the list which would not be there if their clearly different meanings were distinguished. The study shows that only a small proportion of the word families contain homographs, and in almost all cases, one of the members of a pair or group of homographs is much more frequent and widely used than the others. Only three word families (intelligence, offset, and panel) drop out of the list because none of their homographs separately meet the criteria for inclusion in the list. A list of homographs in the AWL is provided, with frequencies for those where each of the members of a homograph pair are reasonably frequent.

AKSESIBILITAS INFORMASI MELALUI MAKERSPACE DI PERPUSTAKAAN

Conventional library that only relies on human resources and resources information on paper or physical media cannot last much longer because of a very large information explosion. This is supported by the development and availability of global information infrastructure. Therefore the library must adjust to utilizing information technology in order to provide access to the widest possible information to users. Libraries must provide access to information based on digital media. The development of information technology plays a role in making the wider public access to information. Access to information is facilitated by providing a space / place to be creative for users, access to information, and sources of information needed by users. At present the function of the library has shifted from a quiet room to a meeting place for "creators" or "makers". The library becomes a meeting place (Maker Place or Maker Space) that provides easy access to information and information sources. With the makerspace, the library is no longer just a quiet space, but rather a space of expression and open for the development of creativity and problem solving that produces the product of creativity itself. Makerspace is the right choice for solution in realizing sustainable development goals. That is because the library is able to open access to information to the community, help individuals and the community to develop skills and confidence, and help improve social networking. with the ultimate goal of creating an intelligent and prosperous society for the people of Indonesia.

Constructing Criteria of History Syllabus -Exploring the Concept of “Significant History”-

This study explored the concept of “significant” history as the criterion for selecting content for school history. “Significant” histories are facts that have had a far-reaching or profound impact on historical actors and the society in those times based on historical discipline. History that is “significant” to students is history that is relevant to their lives. What is relevant to the lives of students is not only experienced or directly experienced, but also includes things that are the subject of thought and the basis of practice. Rather than past knowledge, teachers consider historical facts that can be applied practically to understand the present day and solve the problems of modern society as significant history. This concept of “significant history” gives the following implications for constructing the contents of history and national curriculum. First, in the syllabus organization of the curriculum, it is necessary to approach the problem of “what and how” to teach rather than only “what” to teach. And “how” refers to a viewpoint and approach to viewing historical facts rather than teaching and learning techniques. Second, we need to teach students “what is significant to them” rather than “what they can understand”. “Significant” history is one in which historical facts themselves are important, experienced or embodied in the lives of students, and connected to pupil’s social practices. Third, we need to allow students to experience history. Experiencing history implies experimental historical thinking instead of repeating past human behaviors.

Microcontroller Based Money Card Sorter with Pre-online Application Feature

This research is on the development of a microcontroller-based sorter of Money Cards together with an online application for the Money Cards as well. The sorter has 8 divisions in order to simulate the 8 areas in Metro Manila to where the cards will be sent to. The 8 areas are composed of the 7 areas in the South Metro Manila and 1 area composing of all the areas belonging to the North metro Manila. The website of the online application contains the necessary fields for the application of the Money Card. The sorter has a barcode reader. Each card has a barcode sticker corresponding to one of the 8 areas of the sorter. In addition, this barcode sticker corresponds to the information based on the online application where the cards will be sent that is specified by the user. The barcode reads the sticker on the cards and then sorts it accordingly to the correct corresponding divisions of the sorter.
Blockchain power

Measuring the market power of each blockchain is a challenge. First, it entails defining the relevant market, typically done by studying the relevant product market and the geographical one (Section 1). Blockchain presents an issue in that regard, especially with public permissionless blockchains acting as platforms. Only a “law and technology” approach can remedy the problem by making antitrust analysis closer to the technology it seeks to regulate. Should it be adopted, analyzing blockchain market power becomes possible again. Other challenges nonetheless arise in terms of choosing which metrics to use. I suggest a method to solve the problem (Section 2).
Asymmetric nonlinear analyses of banking sector behaviour, markets and interest rate risks in Africa's frontier economy

With the possibility of a change in the narrative from the long-held linearity assumption to a nonlinearity and asymmetric discovery in the bank, market and the interest rate risk relationship, this paper explores the banks, stock market development and interest rate risk connection in the context of the Nigerian financial system. Empirical evidence arising from the study indicates that bank development exhibits interest rate sensitivity and changes in inverse direction with the interest rate. Moreover, the results strongly support asymmetry and nonlinearity in the relationship between bank development and stock market development. It is therefore recommended that policy efforts directed towards the development of the financial system should strike a balance between the linear/symmetric assumption and the nonlinear/asymmetric assumption.
Performance Access of Various Ann Layers in Cognitive Radio Network

In this section, the taxonomy outcomes attained by the signal classification system defined in the preceding section are deliberated. To examine the performance, 400 signals were produced and modulated by means of three modulation systems: BPSK, QPSK and QAM. They are transmitted via AWGN channel with 0dB, 1dB, 5 dB and 10dB noise density. By means of temporal and spectral features with ANN classifier, a sum of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 hidden layers are taken for the modulation of the signals. 300 signals are employed for training, and 100 signals are tested with ANN classifier with dissimilar distance measures, Euclidean, city block, cosine and correlation.

Serials Standards: Envisioning a Solution to the Online Serials Management Mess

SUMMARY. Whereas the transmission of data relating to the initiation, renewal, or cancellation of serial subscriptions has developed into a robust and standardized system based on Electronic Data Exchange (EDI), the ability of serialists to effectively exchange and manipulate information pertaining to data about the specific content and access rights to the subscriptions at a given library has become increasingly problematic. The rapid development of local and vendor systems designed to handle subscription data has necessitated that this data be standardized for smooth exchange. Ted Fons and Regina Reynolds’s discussion of the standards work underway at NISO and EDItEUR, as well as the current ISO revision of the ISSN, 306provides an overview of the framework for potential resolution to this challenge.

Dynamic MDS diffusion layers with efficient software implementation

Maximum distance separable (MDS) matrices play a crucial role in symmetric ciphers as diffusion layers. Dynamic diffusion layers for software applications are less considered up to now. Dynamic (randomised) components could make symmetric ciphers more resistant against statistical and algebraic attacks. In this paper, after some theoretical investigation we present a family of parametric n × n, binary matrices Aα, n = 4t, such that for 4t many α ∈ Fn2 the matrices Aα, A3α ⊕ I and A7α ⊕ I are non-singular. With the aid of the proposed family of matrices, some well-known diffusion layers including the cyclic AES-like matrices and some recursive MDS diffusion layers could be made dynamic, at little extra cost in software. Then, we provide new families of MDS matrices which could be used as dynamic diffusion layers, using the proposed family of matrices. The implementation cost of every member in the presented families of MDS diffusion layers (except one cyclic family) is equal to its inverse. The proposed diffusion layers have a suitable implementation cost on a variety of modern processors.

Accessibility Testing

Most mobile applications are developed with established assumptions about the users or user types. In software testing, the term user personas reflects such user types, including their possible usage flows and how the application might help them in their daily activities. Despite the fact that user personas are created during the early stages of the software development lifecycle, they may not consider people with disabilities.
Authentication of an Image with Sha-1 and Invariant Vector Distances

The two primary objectives of image authentication are Discrimination and Robustness. The SHA-1 algorithm, invariant vector distance and ring division are implemented to authenticate the image by using hash value to enhance discriminative capability and rotation robustness. The statistical features like central moments of the picture which contains rings in homogenous CIE L*a*b* model are unwavering because the image rotation is not linked to the ring division. Specifically, the digital operations of an image are not changed with respect to Euclidean distance and feature vectors. This makes message digest discriminative and dense. Several tests conducted with more than 200 color images and reveals that for common image digital operations this algorithm for image authentication is strong to estimate the efficiency. Among all the existing hashing algorithms, the projected technique for image authentication is demonstrated as superior.

Computational Performance of MATLAB and Python for Electromagnetic Applications

MATLAB and Python are two commonly used scripting languages for prototyping electromagnetic problems today. Each of these languages provides access to computationally efficient functions allowing a user to easily run many math heavy problems with minimal programming. In this paper we will discuss the usage of MATLAB and a variety of libraries in Python capable of running these efficient computations. Tests will be run in both languages to compare both CPU and GPU computations. The runtimes of a variety of problems using each of these platforms will also be compared for a variety of mathematical operations typically used in electromagnetic problems. Finally, a simple angle of arrival calculation using conventional beamforming will be performed to show these speeds on a realistic problem.
