  • URA Pilots Innovative E-Filing System That Mimics Human Be
    Computerworld Singapore - URA pilots innovative e-filing system that mimics human be... Page 1 of 1 30 May 2006 URA pilots innovative e-filing system that mimics human behaviour Connie Chng Updated: 30 May 2006 Software company, SQL View, today received $260,717 from The Enterprise Challenge, an initiative of the Prime Minister‘s Office, to pilot an automatic electronic filing system at the Urban Redevelopment Authority. The KRIS Intelligent Filer (KIF), an innovative system that can mimic human decision-making and behaviour, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to manage electronic documents. As the system makes use of a behaviour-based AI engine, it has the capability to learn and become more accurate over time. Using the AI engine, the system is able to ”read‘ the documents to determine their content and context, and automatically classify and store the documents for convenient searches and retrieval. Said Tan Siong Leng, URA‘s deputy chief executive officer, —The KRIS Intelligent Filer will form an important part of URA‘s Enterprise Document Management System to capture and manage all its electronic records in an organised way. It will address our concerns about the integrity and authenticity of documents and at the same time, minimise our effort in classifying documents, which is a common challenge in implementing electronic document management system.“ Through pattern recognition, the KRIS Intelligent Filer learns, remembers new filing information as well as reconciles conflicting instructions each time it files new documents. The system is also able to classify information according to the roles and the security access levels of the users.

  • Classifying Arabic Fonts Based on Design Characteristics: PANOSE-A
    Classifying Arabic Fonts Based on Design Characteristics: PANOSE-A Jehan Janbi A Thesis In the Department of Computer Science & Software Engineering Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Computer Science) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada July 2016 © Jehan Janbi, 2016 Abstract In desktop publishing, fonts are essential components in each document design. With the development of font design software and tools, there are thousands of digital fonts. Increasing the number of available fonts makes selecting an appropriate font, which best serves the objective of a design, not an intuitive issue. Designers can search for a font like any other file types by using general information such as name and file format. But for document design purposes, the design features or visual characteristics of fonts are more meaningful for designers than font file information. Therefore, representing fonts’ design features by searchable and comparable data would facilitate searching and selecting a desirable font. One solution is to represent a font’s design features by a code composed of several digits. This solution has been implemented as a computerized system called PANOSE-1 for Latin script fonts. PANOSE-1 is a system for classifying and matching typefaces based on design features. It is composed of 10 digits, where each digit represents a specific design feature. It is used within several font management tools as an option for ordering and searching fonts based on their design features. It is also used in font replacement processes when an application or an operating system detects a missing font in an immigrant document or website.
