On Sign Language Toolbox Aid

Abstract The world has been lately witnessing a landmark revolution in technology whereby more research and development is going into producing devices that are able to respond to human emotions, motions and behavior. These days, mobile phones are able to capture photos when the user is smiling or gesturing towards them. By making certain gestures, a user is able to control smart televisions and computers at the comfort of their homes, without the need of extra interface devices. The interaction between man and machines is being improved and made as natural as possible. More so, the application of hand gesture technology is finding use in making communication between people with hearing difficulties and those without, possible. This research presents the techniques that have made this possible. Most of these techniques however are in development stages. This is because of the significant challenges faced in providing this solution. First, there are over 30,000 sign language gestures which is quite a headache when trying to integrate them into a recognition system. Secondly, despite the fact that there are standard ways of making the sign language gestures, people have variations to them. Developers hence have to make allowance for these variations and in effect compromise on the accuracy of the system. This research evaluates the various algorithms developed, and tries to propose an algorithm that strikes the best balance between accuracy and allowance for variations in the sign language gestures.
Identity-based threshold group signature scheme based on multiple hard number theoretic problems

We introduce in this paper a new identity-based threshold signature (IBTHS) technique, which is based on a pair of intractable problems, residuosity and discrete logarithm. This technique relies on two difficult problems and offers an improved level of security relative to an individual hard problem. The majority of the denoted IBTHS techniques are established on an individual difficult problem. Despite the fact that these methods are secure, however, a prospective solution of this sole problem by an adversary will enable him/her to recover the entire private data together with secret keys and configuration values of the associated scheme. Our technique is immune to the four most familiar attack types in relation to the signature schemes. Enhanced performance of our proposed technique is verified in terms of minimum cost of computations required by both of the signing algorithm and the verifying algorithm in addition to immunity to attacks.
NLPt, event extraction, style, temporal and spatial features, LTP

Natural language in the form of text is an important achievement of human wisdom. Event extraction belongs to the level of information extraction in natural language processing, which aims to present an event in natural language with structured results. With the development of Internet technology, the richness of the high inflation of the network information, the Internet has become a large document library and the potential for big data sets. In order to extract events and their temporal and spatial features from such massive information, this paper proposes a LTP-based preparative filling mechanism, which can effectively use the case of missing event features.
Forensic examination of anonymous handwritten documents in order to obtain data on the identity of their author and performer

The anonymous document as an object of forensic research has an information field that is subject to study by three groups of scientific disciplines: handwriting, technical re­search of documents and forensic linguistics. Stability and reproducibility characteristics of handwriting and written speech allows us to identify the author and performer of an anonymous message, as demonstrated by the example of the authorsʼ practice.
Vehicle Detection and Tracking with Enhanced Anti-Perspective Transformation

This paper presents a vehicle detection and tracking method to tackle the challenge brought by object distortion in perspective images. The aspect of the method is to normalize the shape and size of a vehicle wherever it is in the camera view, and to transform the camera image into an enhanced anti-perspective domain to achieve real time detection with robust tracking performance. Furthermore, with the presented method, several applications can be benefited such as vehicle recognition and car plates identification.
The effects of image smoothing on CNN-based detectors

Edge-preserving smoothing filters have been shown to improve generalisation performance on the HOG features with a SVM classifier. However, not all smoothing filters and parameters lead to better performance. The effects of smoothing filters are studied on the Faster R-CNN detector using generic object and human detection datasets, namely the PASCAL VOC and KITTI respectively. The total variation (TV) smoothing filter was used for this study. It was found that the TV smoothing removed details the CNN was using for detection which degraded performance for both datasets. The results are consistent with previous observations that CNNs tend to learn weak visual features. The performance loss, however, was moderate and could be justified in the context of improving robustness to perturbations. The PASCAL VOC and KITTI datasets had comparable performance loss despite the latter having many more small objects that tend to blend into the background when smoothing is applied.

PRAGMATIC FUNCTION OF THE PHRASE “DON’T DO EXPERIMENTS” IN BG-MAMMA FORUMS COMMUNICATION

e aim of the paper is to present the use of the cliché phrase “ne si pravi eksperimenti” (“don’t do experiments”) in the forums of the largest Bulgarian Internet platform bg-mamma. 83 uses are excerpted from different parts of the forum. The objectives of the research are to reveal the pragmatic force of the phrase, which is usually a reaction to an utterance mentioned in the previous parts of the forum discussion, as well as to present its thematic scope. It may be defined as a directive according to Searle classification. The negative form of the phrase and the use of the reflexive particle “si” influences its overall meaning. The hypothesis is that “ne si pravi eksperimenti” may be used as a prohibition or as a warning, and it may include different topics which the speaker finds dangerous. The thematic division of the uses is made with the help of #LancsBox. The results confirm the assumption that the phraseis more often used when the speaker wants to prevent someone to do something dangerous. It sounds as strong advice and usually is linked with the user’s health or with the health of their child. The phrase is also used when the topic of the conversation is the diet of the users and their child (children). The extreme change of the hairstyle, the risky behaviour, the spontaneous decisions are other themes which provoke some people to react and to express disagreement or anxiety
Industrial Assessment of the Carbonate Rocks of the Pila Spi Formation at Haibat Sultan Mountain, Iraqi Kurdistan Region

The Pila Spi Formation is one of the prominent formations forming continuous ridges in Kurdistan Region. The thickness of the formation ranges from 15 to 110 m, consisting of well-bedded limestone, dolomite, dolomitic limestone, and very rare marl beds. The study area is located about 15 km east of Koya town, next to the abandoned tunnel through a deeply cut valley which has exposed 50 m of the formation. However, the uppermost part of the exposed section may belong to one of the Oligocene formations of Kirkuk Group. The study area was selected within the Pila Spi Formation because the rocks of the same formation and along the same ridge, about 45 km west of the study area showed encouraging results for cement industry. The average CaO is about 51%, whereas the average MgO is 1.8%. Therefore, eight samples were collected at constant thickness from the exposed section. The samples were subjected to X-ray fluorescence (XRF) test to indicate the main oxides in the sampled section. The acquired results from the XRF tests showed that the chemical composition of the exposed rocks within the Pila Spi Formation is suitable for cement industry, also for paper and paint but needs some treatment. Accordingly, another eight samples were collected from the same section to increase the density of sampling, totaling to 16 samples.

Exploring centroids initialization within Deep Convolutional Embedded Clustering

Deep clustering uses a deep neural network to learn deep feature representation for performing clustering tasks. In this paper, we explored the Deep Convolutional Embedded Clustering (DCEC) method, which employs a stan- dart clustering method to get initial weight for the neural model training incor- porated to other clustering methods. The original DCEC uses K-Means with Euclidean distance for the clusters center initialization step. We have applied K-Means with Mahalanobis distance instead of Euclidean distance. In order to improve the DCEC performance, we have included the standart K-Harmonic Means clustering algorithm as well, which tries overcome the dependency of the K-Means performance on the clusters center initialization. The Kernel ba- sed K-Harmonic Means was also introduced in this study to reduce the effect of outliers and noise. We evaluated the performance of these clustering appro- aches within DCEC over benchmark image datasets and the results were better than the baseline.

Teaching English as foreign language is to enable students to produce the English language orally and in a written, at Senior High School program, the students should be taught, trained, and tested to write English.The students must learn how to write formal letters, emails, application letters, etc. Practically, the process of teaching and learning to write unsuccessfully due to hampered on content, grammar, vocabulary, and reflectivity.The study conducted to solve the problem facing by the teacher in teaching English language at Senior High School in Indonesia.The method of the research was a correlational study and use a probability random sampling.Three types of research instruments were used to collect the data (writing test, multiple-choice tests and questionnaire).The data were analysed by multiple correlations and multiple regressions.The result showed the influence of vocabulary mastery, reflectivity and writing skill are positive and strong as supported by multiple correlation coefficient R is 0.894.The influence of vocabulary mastery and writing skill is positive and significant as supported by tstatistic 4.287 that higher than tcritical 2.000.The influence of reflectivity and writing skill is positive and significant as supported by tstatistic 10.09 that is higher than critical 2.000.
Neural network used in Energy Function of Content-aware Image Resizing Method to Preserve Skin Color Region

Seam Carving is a content-aware image resizing method capable of modifying the width or height of pictures. Such an algorithm applies an energy function to evaluate the importance of each pixel in the image. In exceptional cases, such as images that contain people, the method frequently presents deformation of objects due to the energy function not being able to detect a person. In this context, this paper presents a modification of the energy function used in seam carving by employing a neural network which can detect human skin patterns. Such a modification aims at better-preserving people in images. The experiments show that the proposed method achieves superior performance in terms of visual quality through qualitative indexes compared to the original algorithm.
Optimizing short stabilizer codes for asymmetric channels

For a number of quantum channels of interest, phase-flip errors occur far more frequently than bit-flip errors. When transmitting across these asymmetric channels, the decoding error rate can be reduced by tailoring the code used to the channel. However, analyzing the performance of stabilizer codes on these channels is made difficult by the #P-completeness of optimal decoding. To address this, at least for short codes, we demonstrate that the decoding error rate can be approximated by considering only a fraction of the possible errors caused by the channel. Using this approximate error rate calculation, we extend a recent result to show that there are a number of $[[5\ensuremath{\le}n\ensuremath{\le}12,1\ensuremath{\le}k\ensuremath{\le}3]]$ cyclic stabilizer codes that perform well on two different asymmetric channels. We also demonstrate that an indication of a stabilizer code's error rate is given by considering the error rate of a classical binary code related to the stabilizer. This classical error rate is far less complex to calculate, and we use it as the basis for a hill-climbing algorithm, which we show to be effective at optimizing codes for asymmetric channels. Furthermore, we demonstrate that simple modifications can be made to our hill-climbing algorithm to search for codes with desired structure requirements.

The Problem Of The Impact Of Information On Consciousness And Human Identity

The authors analyze the problem of information influence through modern information technologies on human consciousness and socio-cultural identity. Attention is focused on the fact that penetrating all the structures of the socio-cultural world, information in its various forms creates certain meanings that have an impact on the socio-cultural environment. Relativity and historical variability of value imperatives, is determined by the information impact on human consciousness. The article substantiates the position that social technologies are used in the struggle of various information structures, the purpose of which is the transformation of the mental foundations of a person and his identity. The result is, on the one hand, an increase in scepticism and cynicism about everything that the individual faces, and, on the other, naive trust in everything that is said and proposed. All this deprives social life of the parameter of personal expression, manifestation, in which a person loses his expressive ability, unique individuality and becomes only a transmitter of a continuous flow of information, and as a result leads to vulgarization, simplification of socio-cultural existence.
