Method to Remove Handwritten Texts Using Smart Phone

To remove handwritten texts from an image of a document taken by smart phone,an intelligent removal method was proposed that combines dewarping and Fully Convolutional Network with Atrous Convolutional and Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling(FCN-AC-ASPP).For a picture taken by a smart phone,firstly,the image is transformed into a regular image by the dewarping algorithm.Secondly,the FCN-AC-ASPP is used to classify printed texts and handwritten texts.Lastly,handwritten texts can be removed by a simple algorithm.Experiments show that the classification accuracy of the FCN-AC-ASPP is better than FCN,DeeplabV3+,FCN-AC.For handwritten texts removal effect,the method of combining dewarping and FCN-AC-ASPP is superior to FCN-AC-ASP alone.

A Comparative Study of Artificial Intelligence and Translation Software in Chinese-English Translation:A Focus on Literary and Technical Texts

In recent years,the domain of machine translation has experienced remarkable growth,particularly with the emergence of neural machine translation,which has significantly enhanced both the accuracy and fluency of translation.At the same time,AI also showed its tremendous advancement,with its capabilities now extending to assisting users in a multitude of tasks,including translation,garnering attention across various sectors.In this paper,the author selects representative sentences from both literary and scientific texts,and translates them using two translation software and two AI tools for comparison.The results show that all four translation tools are very efficient and can help with simple translation tasks.However,the accuracy of terminology needs to be improved,and it is difficult to make adjustments based on the characteristics of the target language.It is worth mentioning that one of the advantages of AI is its interactivity,which allows it to modify the translation according to the translator’s needs.

Deep-BERT:Transfer Learning for Classifying Multilingual Offensive Texts on Social Media

Offensive messages on social media,have recently been frequently used to harass and criticize people.In recent studies,many promising algorithms have been developed to identify offensive texts.Most algorithms analyze text in a unidirectional manner,where a bidirectional method can maximize performance results and capture semantic and contextual information in sentences.In addition,there are many separate models for identifying offensive texts based on monolin-gual and multilingual,but there are a few models that can detect both monolingual and multilingual-based offensive texts.In this study,a detection system has been developed for both monolingual and multilingual offensive texts by combining deep convolutional neural network and bidirectional encoder representations from transformers(Deep-BERT)to identify offensive posts on social media that are used to harass others.This paper explores a variety of ways to deal with multilin-gualism,including collaborative multilingual and translation-based approaches.Then,the Deep-BERT is tested on the Bengali and English datasets,including the different bidirectional encoder representations from transformers(BERT)pre-trained word-embedding techniques,and found that the proposed Deep-BERT’s efficacy outperformed all existing offensive text classification algorithms reaching an accuracy of 91.83%.The proposed model is a state-of-the-art model that can classify both monolingual-based and multilingual-based offensive texts.

一种利用词典扩展数据库模式信息的Text2SQL方法

现有Text2SQL方法严重依赖表名和列名在自然语言查询中的显式提及,在同物异名的实际应用场景中准确率急剧下降.此外,这些方法仅仅依赖数据库模式捕捉数据库建模的领域知识,而数据库模式作为结构化的元数据,其表达领域知识的能力是非常有限的,即使有经验的程序员也很难仅从数据库模式完全领会该数据库建模的领域知识,因此程序员必须依赖详细的数据库设计文档才能构造SQL语句以正确地表达特定的查询.为此,本文提出一种利用词典扩展数据库模式信息的Text2SQL方法,该方法从数据库表名和列名解析出其中的单词或短语,查询词典获取这些单词或短语的语义解释,将这些解释看成是相应表名或列名的扩展内容,与表名、列名及其他数据库模式信息(主键、外键等)相结合,作为模型的输入,从而使模型能够更全面地学习数据库建模的应用领域知识.在Spider-syn和Spider数据集上进行的实验说明了所提出方法的有效性,即使自然语言查询中使用的表名和列名与数据库模式中对应的表名和列名完全不同,本文方法也能够得到较好的SQL翻译结果,明显优于最新提出的抗同义词替换攻击的方法.

基于DAN与FastText的藏文短文本分类研究

随着藏文信息不断融入社会生活,越来越多的藏文短文本数据存在网络平台上。针对传统分类方法在藏文短文本上分类性能低的问题,文中提出了一种基于DAN-FastText的藏文短文本分类模型。该模型使用FastText网络在较大规模的藏文语料上进行无监督训练获得预训练的藏文音节向量集,使用预训练的音节向量集将藏文短文本信息转化为音节向量,把音节向量送入DAN(Deep Averaging Networks)网络并在输出阶段融合经过FastText网络训练的句向量特征,最后通过全连接层和softmax层完成分类。在公开的TNCC(Tibetan News Classification Corpus)新闻标题数据集上所提模型的Macro-F1是64.53%,比目前最好评测结果TiBERT模型的Macro-F1得分高出2.81%,比GCN模型的Macro-F1得分高出6.14%,融合模型具有较好的藏文短文本分类效果。

基于SWPF2vec和DJ-TextRCNN的古籍文本主题分类研究

以编目分类和规则匹配为主的古籍文本主题分类方法存在工作效能低、专家知识依赖性强、分类依据单一化、古籍文本主题自动分类难等问题。对此,本文结合古籍文本内容和文字特征,尝试从古籍内容分类得到符合研究者需求的主题,推动数字人文研究范式的转型。首先,参照东汉古籍《说文解字》对文字的分析方式,以前期标注的古籍语料数据集为基础,构建全新的“字音(说)-原文(文)-结构(解)-字形(字)”四维特征数据集。其次,设计四维特征向量提取模型(speaking,word,pattern,and font to vector,SWPF2vec),并结合预训练模型实现对古籍文本细粒度的特征表示。再其次,构建融合卷积神经网络、循环神经网络和多头注意力机制的古籍文本主题分类模型(dianji-recurrent convolutional neural networks for text classification,DJ-TextRCNN)。最后,融入四维语义特征,实现对古籍文本多维度、深层次、细粒度的语义挖掘。在古籍文本主题分类任务上,DJ-TextRCNN模型在不同维度特征下的主题分类准确率均为最优,在“说文解字”四维特征下达到76.23%的准确率,初步实现了对古籍文本的精准主题分类。

Short-Term Memory Capacity across Time and Language Estimated from Ancient and Modern Literary Texts. Study-Case: New Testament Translations

We study the short-term memory capacity of ancient readers of the original New Testament written in Greek, of its translations to Latin and to modern languages. To model it, we consider the number of words between any two contiguous interpunctions Ip, because this parameter can model how the human mind memorizes “chunks” of information. Since IP can be calculated for any alphabetical text, we can perform experiments—otherwise impossible— with ancient readers by studying the literary works they used to read. The “experiments” compare the IP of texts of a language/translation to those of another language/translation by measuring the minimum average probability of finding joint readers (those who can read both texts because of similar short-term memory capacity) and by defining an “overlap index”. We also define the population of universal readers, people who can read any New Testament text in any language. Future work is vast, with many research tracks, because alphabetical literatures are very large and allow many experiments, such as comparing authors, translations or even texts written by artificial intelligence tools.

Social Media Cyberbullying Detection on Political Violence from Bangla Texts Using Machine Learning Algorithm

When someone threatens or humiliates another person online by sending those unpleasant messages or comments, this is known as Cyberbullying. Recently, Bangla text has been used much more often on social media. People communicate with others on social media through messages and comments. So bullies use social media as a rich environment to bully others, especially on political issues. Fights over Cyberbullying on political and social media posts are common today. Most of the time, it does a lot of damage. However, few works have been done for monitoring Bangla text on social media & no work has been done yet for detecting the bullying Bangla text on political issues due to the lack of annotated corpora and morphologic analyzers. In this work, we used several machine learning classifiers & a model. That will help to detect the Bangla bullying texts on social media. For this work, 11,000 Bangla texts have been collected from the comments section of political Facebook posts to make a new dataset and labelled the data as either bullied or not. This dataset has been used to train the machine learning classifier. The results indicate that Random Forest achieves superior accuracy of 91.08%.

CVTD: A Robust Car-Mounted Video Text Detector

Text perception is crucial for understanding the semantics of outdoor scenes,making it a key requirement for building intelligent systems for driver assistance or autonomous driving.Text information in car-mounted videos can assist drivers in making decisions.However,Car-mounted video text images pose challenges such as complex backgrounds,small fonts,and the need for real-time detection.We proposed a robust Car-mounted Video Text Detector(CVTD).It is a lightweight text detection model based on ResNet18 for feature extraction,capable of detecting text in arbitrary shapes.Our model efficiently extracted global text positions through the Coordinate Attention Threshold Activation(CATA)and enhanced the representation capability through stacking two Feature Pyramid Enhancement Fusion Modules(FPEFM),strengthening feature representation,and integrating text local features and global position information,reinforcing the representation capability of the CVTD model.The enhanced feature maps,when acted upon by Text Activation Maps(TAM),effectively distinguished text foreground from non-text regions.Additionally,we collected and annotated a dataset containing 2200 images of Car-mounted Video Text(CVT)under various road conditions for training and evaluating our model’s performance.We further tested our model on four other challenging public natural scene text detection benchmark datasets,demonstrating its strong generalization ability and real-time detection speed.This model holds potential for practical applications in real-world scenarios.

YOLOv5ST:A Lightweight and Fast Scene Text Detector

Scene text detection is an important task in computer vision.In this paper,we present YOLOv5 Scene Text(YOLOv5ST),an optimized architecture based on YOLOv5 v6.0 tailored for fast scene text detection.Our primary goal is to enhance inference speed without sacrificing significant detection accuracy,thereby enabling robust performance on resource-constrained devices like drones,closed-circuit television cameras,and other embedded systems.To achieve this,we propose key modifications to the network architecture to lighten the original backbone and improve feature aggregation,including replacing standard convolution with depth-wise convolution,adopting the C2 sequence module in place of C3,employing Spatial Pyramid Pooling Global(SPPG)instead of Spatial Pyramid Pooling Fast(SPPF)and integrating Bi-directional Feature Pyramid Network(BiFPN)into the neck.Experimental results demonstrate a remarkable 26%improvement in inference speed compared to the baseline,with only marginal reductions of 1.6%and 4.2%in mean average precision(mAP)at the intersection over union(IoU)thresholds of 0.5 and 0.5:0.95,respectively.Our work represents a significant advancement in scene text detection,striking a balance between speed and accuracy,making it well-suited for performance-constrained environments.
