Brain processes responsible for understanding language are approximated by spreading activation in semantic networks, providing enhanced representations that involve concepts not ...
—This paper describes effective object function design for combining on-line and off-line character recognizers for on-line handwritten Japanese text recognition. We combine on-l...
We simulate different architectures of a distributed Information Retrieval system on a very large Web collection, in order to work out the optimal setting for a particular set of r...
