    IMPRINT Imprint © 2014 Smashing Magazine GmbH, Freiburg, Germany ISBN (PDF): 978-3-94454087-0 Cover Design: Veerle Pieters eBook Strategy and Editing: Vitaly Friedman Technical Editing: Cosima Mielke Planning and Quality Control: Vitaly Friedman, Iris Lješnjanin Tools: Elja Friedman Syntax Highlighting: Prism by Lea Verou Idea & Concept: Smashing Magazine GmbH 2 About This Book Slow loading times break the user experience of any web- site—no matter how well crafted it might be. In fact, it only takes three seconds until users lose their interest in a site if they don’t get a response immediately. If another site happens to be 250ms faster than yours, then users are more inclined to switch to a competitor’s website in no time. Web fonts, heavy JavaScript, third-party widgets — all of them can sum up to become a real performance bot- tleneck. Nevertheless, tracking that down does not only improve loading times but also results in a much snappi- er experience and a higher user engagement. In this eBook, we’ve compiled an entire selection of front-end and server-side techniques that will help you tackle such bottlenecks. Find out how to speed up exist- ing websites, build high-performance sites (for both mo- bile and desktop), and prepare them for heavy-load situa- tions. Furthermore, you’ll learn more about how perfor- mance improvements and a 97–99 Google PageSpeed score were achieved on Smashing Magazine, as well as how optimization strategies can enhance real-life projects by taking a closer look at Pinterest’s paint performance case study.

  • 8 December 2004 (Revised 10 January 2005) Topic: Unicode Technical Meeting #101, 15 -18 November 2004, Cupertino, California
    To: LSA and UC Berkeley Communities From: Deborah Anderson, UCB representative and LSA liaison Date: 8 December 2004 (revised 10 January 2005) Topic: Unicode Technical Meeting #101, 15 -18 November 2004, Cupertino, California As the UC Berkeley representative and LSA liaison, I am most interested in the proposals for new characters and scripts that were discussed at the UTC, so these topics are the focus of this report. For the full minutes, readers should consult the "Unicode Technical Committee Minutes" web page (http://www.unicode.org/consortum/utc-minutes.html), where the minutes from this meeting will be posted several weeks hence. I. Proposals for New Scripts and Additional Characters A summary of the proposals and the UTC's decisions are listed below. As the proposals discussed below are made public, I will post the URLs on the SEI web page (www.linguistics.berkeley.edu/sei). A. Linguistics Characters Lorna Priest of SIL International submitted three proposals for additional linguistics characters. Most of the characters proposed are used in the orthographies of languages from Africa, Asia, Mexico, Central and South America. (For details on the proposed characters, with a description of their use and an image, see the appendix to this document.) Two characters from these proposals were not approved by the UTC because there are already characters encoded that are very similar. The evidence did not adequately demonstrate that the proposed characters are used distinctively. The two problematical proposed characters were: the modifier straight letter apostrophe (used for a glottal stop, similar to ' APOSTROPHE U+0027) and the Latin small "at" sign (used for Arabic loanwords in an orthography for the Koalib language from the Sudan, similar to @ COMMERCIAL AT U+0040).

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.290662 The Unicode Cookbook for Linguists Managing writing systems using orthography profiles Steven Moran & Michael Cysouw Change dedication in localmetadata.tex Preface This text is meant as a practical guide for linguists, and programmers, whowork with data in multilingual computational environments. We introduce the basic concepts needed to understand how writing systems and character encodings function, and how they work together. The intersection of the Unicode Standard and the International Phonetic Al- phabet is often not met without frustration by users. Nevertheless, thetwo standards have provided language researchers with a consistent computational architecture needed to process, publish and analyze data from many different languages. We bring to light common, but not always transparent, pitfalls that researchers face when working with Unicode and IPA. Our research uses quantitative methods to compare languages and uncover and clarify their phylogenetic relations. However, the majority of lexical data available from the world’s languages is in author- or document-specific orthogra- phies.

  • Optical Character Recognition - a Combined ANN/HMM Approach
    Optical Character Recognition - A Combined ANN/HMM Approach Dissertation submitted to the Department of Computer Science Technical University of Kaiserslautern for the fulfillment of the requirements for the doctoral degree Doctor of Engineering (Dr.-Ing.) by Sheikh Faisal Rashid Dean: Prof. Dr. Klaus Schneider Thesis supervisors: Prof. Dr. Thomas Breuel, TU Kaiserslautern Prof. Dr. Andreas Dengel, TU Kaiserslautern Chair of supervisory committee: Prof. Dr. Karsten Berns, TU Kaiserslautern Kaiserslautern, 11 July, 2014 D 386 Abstract Optical character recognition (OCR) of machine printed text is ubiquitously considered as a solved problem. However, error free OCR of degraded (broken and merged) and noisy text is still challenging for modern OCR systems. OCR of degraded text with high accuracy is very important due to many applications in business, industry and large scale document digitization projects. This thesis presents a new OCR method for degraded text recognition by introducing a combined ANN/HMM OCR approach. The approach provides significantly better performance in comparison with state-of-the-art HMM based OCR methods and existing open source OCR systems. In addition, the thesis introduces novel applications of ANNs and HMMs for document image preprocessing and recognition of low resolution text. Furthermore, the thesis provides psychophysical experiments to determine the effect of letter permutation in visual word recognition of Latin and Cursive script languages. HMMs and ANNs are widely employed pattern recognition paradigms and have been used in numerous pattern classification problems. This work presents a simple and novel method for combining the HMMs and ANNs in application to segmentation free OCR of degraded text. HMMs and ANNs are powerful pattern recognition strategies and their combination is interesting to improve current state-of-the-art research in OCR.

For the human brain, sequences like -> , <= or := are single logical tokens, even if they take two or three characters on the screen. Your eye spends a non-zero amount of energy to scan, parse and join multiple characters into a single logical one. Ideally, all programming languages should be designed with full-fledged Unicode symbols for operators, but that’s not the case yet.

  • Phonetic Characters, Fonts, and Editors Data and Other Documents Here
    Phonetic characters, fonts, and editors Data and other documents here are composed using Times New Roman version 5.01, which includes the major unicode phonetic symbols. If you have problems displaying those characters (some appear as boxes), that probably means that you do not have a current version of TNR. A current version of TNR should be part of your operating system at least since Windows Vista, but an upgrade can be purchased. There are free unicode fonts with phonetic characters which can substitute for this version of TNR. The procedure is to download and install the font, then within your editor (such as Word), select the whole document and change the font to whichever font you just installed. The best choices are (in descending order of design preference): Titus Cyberbit Basic (http://titus.fkidg1.uni-frankfurt.de/unicode/tituut.asp) Doulos SIL (http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=DoulosSIL_download#FontsDownload) Charis SIL (http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=CharisSIL_download#FontsDownload) Gentium (http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=Gentium_basic) Cardo (http://scholarsfonts.net/cardofnt.html) Sporadic problems have been reported using Open Office, in cases where text is cut and pasted from another document and the text contains overstrike diacritics (e.g. [æ ̃]), that some of the text is “double-printed”. This apparently can be overcome by pasting into a new (OO) document, saving, closing, re-opening, and then copying to the intended document. You will have to experiment; if it happens, at least you’ll know that you’re not alone..
