  • 1 Brahmi Word Recognition by Supervised Techniques
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 5 June 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202006.0048.v1 Brahmi word recognition by supervised techniques Neha Gautam 1*, Soo See Chai1, Sadia Afrin2, Jais Jose3 1 Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, University Malaysia Sarawak 2 Institute of Cognitive Science, Universität Osnabrück 3Amity University, Noida, India *[email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Significant progress has made in pattern recognition technology. However, one obstacle that has not yet overcome is the recognition of words in the Brahmi script, specifically the recognition of characters, compound characters, and word because of complex structure. For this kind of complex pattern recognition problem, it is always difficult to decide which feature extraction and classifier would be the best choice. Moreover, it is also true that different feature extraction and classifiers offer complementary information about the patterns to be classified. Therefore, combining feature extraction and classifiers, in an intelligent way, can be beneficial compared to using any single feature extraction. This study proposed the combination of HOG +zonal density with SVM to recognize the Brahmi words. Keeping these facts in mind, in this paper, information provided by structural and statistical based features are combined using SVM classifier for script recognition (word-level) purpose from the Brahmi words images. Brahmi word dataset contains 6,475 and 536 images of Brahmi words of 170 classes for the training and testing, respectively, and the database is made freely available. The word samples from the mentioned database are classified based on the confidence scores provided by support vector machine (SVM) classifier while HOG and zonal density use to extract the features of Brahmi words.

  • Proposal to Encode ORIYA SIGN OVERLINE in the UCS From: Lorna Priest Evans (SIL International) Date: 1 January 2019
    To: UTC and ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2 WG2 Title: Proposal to encode ORIYA SIGN OVERLINE in the UCS From: Lorna Priest Evans (SIL International) Date: 1 January 2019 We wish to propose the addition of ORIYA SIGN OVERLINE in the “Oriya (Odia)” block at the expected (preserved) position for length marks: U+0B55. The character is a combining mark and the glyph should appear as a straight macron above the base character. The Kuvi [kxv] language of India is spoken by 158,000 [Ethnologue]. The Kuvi language is written using the Oriya (Odia) script. However, length is quite important to distinguish in the Kuvi orthography. At this point there is no ordinary “LENGTH MARK” in the Oriya script (there are two characters 0B56 ◌ୖ ORIYA AI LENGTH MARK and 0B57 ◌ୗ ORIYA AU LENGTH MARK which have a different purpose and different appearance, and are described in The Unicode Standard, Chapter 12 South and Central Asia-I: Official Scripts of India). The length mark proposed here has the appearance of a macron above: ◌̅ In the Table below, one can see the same words listed without and with the length mark. Transliteration is marked, and the definition of the word is included. It is quite clear that the length mark is needed in order to understand the writing system. There have been some language materials printed using this orthography and those examples will be shown below. Proposal to Encode ORIYA SIGN OVERLINE Page 1 of 10 Lorna Priest Evans January 01, 2019 The ORIYA SIGN OVERLINE acts like a secondary modifier.

  • From the Editor of Instructor/Electronic Learning in Your Classroom
    From the Editor of Instructor/Electronic Learning in Your Classroom Dear Technology Leader: What you’re holding in your hands is a tool for bringing together three of your school’s most pressing instructional priorities -- math, science, and technology -- in a way teachers are sure to love: well-crafted, classroom tested lesson plans. The eight lesson plans in this workbook use today’s most popular desktop applica- tions, such as Microsoft Office 97 (with Microsoft Word 97, Microsoft Excel 97, Microsoft PowerPoint 97 and Microsoft Access 97), Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, Microsoft Publisher 97, and Microsoft Encarta 98 Deluxe Encyclopedia. These lessons include step-by-step instructions for using this software, which will add to the guid- ance teachers and students already get from the intuitive new Office Assistant and other Help functions Microsoft is known for. Developed by the editors of Instructor and Electronic Learning in Your Classroom in partnership with Microsoft, this workbook is meant to be used as a resource for staff development and as a working idea bank for classroom teachers. We hope that you and the teachers you work with find lots to be excited about within the covers of this book, and that it sparks a wave of technology-based lesson planning in your classrooms. Sincerely, Mickey Revenaugh Editor, Instructor/Electronic Learning in Your Classroom P. S. More teacher activity guides for Microsoft products are available online at: www.microsoft.com/education/k12/resource/lessons.htm Acknowledgements Microsoft would like to thank all of the educators from the United States and Australia who provided tested lesson plans for this book.
