UFuzzy: Fuzzy models with Universum
Recently, many works have begun to explore the possibility of using samples out of the training set to improve their results. One of these approaches, Universum, introduced by Vapnik had already been used in combination with several classifiers […]
PSI: Patch-based script identification using non-negative matrix factorization
Script identification is an important step in automatic understanding of ancient manuscripts because there is no universal script-independent understanding tool available. Unlike the machine-printed and modern documents, ancient manuscripts are highly-unconstrained in structure and layout and suffer from […]
Real-time environmental assessment of electricity use: a tool for sustainable demand-side management programs
Purpose
Demand-side management is a promising way to increase the integration of renewable energy sources by adapting part of the demand to balance power systems. However, the main challenges of evaluating the environmental performances […]
Tandem hidden Markov models using deep belief networks for offline handwriting recognition
Unconstrained offline handwriting recognition is a challenging task in the areas of document analysis and pattern recognition. In recent years, to sufficiently exploit the supervisory information hidden in document images, much effort has been made to integrate multi-layer […]
