Title: VLSI Watermark Implementations and Applications<br/><br/>Authors: Shoshan, Yonatan; Fish, Alexander; Li, Xin; Jullien, Graham; Yadid-Pecht, Orly<br/><br/>Abstract: This paper presents an up to date review of digital watermarking (WM) from a VLSI designer point of view. The reader is introduced to basic principles and terms in the field of image watermarking. It goes through a brief survey on WM theory, laying out common classification criterions and discussing important design considerations and trade-offs. Elementary WM properties such as robustness, computational complexity and their influence on image quality are discussed. Common attacks and testing benchmarks are also briefly mentioned. It is shown that WM design must take the intended application into account. The difference between software and hardware implementations is explained through the introduction of a general scheme of a WM system and two examples from previous works. A versatile methodology to aid in a reliable and modular design process is suggested. Relating to mixed-signal VLSI design and testing, the proposed methodology allows an efficient development of a CMOS image sensor with WM capabilities.Image Quotient Set Transforms in Segmentation Problems

Title: Image Quotient Set Transforms in Segmentation Problems<br/><br/>Authors: Kinoshenko, Dmitry; Mashtalir, Sergey; Shcherbinin, Konstantin; Yegorova, Elena<br/><br/>Abstract: Image content interpretation is much dependent on segmentations efficiency. Requirements for the image recognition applications lead to a nessesity to create models of new type, which will provide some adaptation between law-level image processing, when images are segmented into disjoint regions and features are extracted from each region, and high-level analysis, using obtained set of all features for making decisions. Such analysis requires some a priori information, measurable region properties, heuristics, and plausibility of computational inference. Sometimes to produce reliable true conclusion simultaneous processing of several partitions is desired. In this paper a set of operations with obtained image segmentation and a nested partitions metric are introduced.Integration Principles of Russian and Japanese Databases on Inorganic Materials

Title: Integration Principles of Russian and Japanese Databases on Inorganic Materials<br/><br/>Authors: Kiselyova, Nadezhda; Iwata, Shuichi; Dudarev, Victor; Prokoshev, Ilya; Khorbenko, Valentin; Zemskov, Victor<br/><br/>Abstract: The methods and software for integration of databases (DBs) on inorganic material and substance properties have been developed. The information systems integration is based on known approaches combination: EII (Enterprise Information Integration) and EAI (Enterprise Application Integration). The metabase - special database that stores data on integrated DBs contents is an integrated system kernel. Proposed methods have been applied for DBs integrated system creation in the field of inorganic chemistry and materials science. Important developed integrated system feature is ability to include DBs that have been created by means of different DBMS using essentially various computer platforms: Sun (DB "Diagram") and Intel (other DBs) and diverse operating systems: Sun Solaris (DB "Diagram") and Microsoft Windows Server (other DBs).Lack of Answer Estimation by Fuzzy Control

Title: Self-organizing Map and Cellular Automata Combined Technique for Advanced Mesh Generation in Urban and Architectural Design<br/><br/>Authors: Castro Castilla, Alvaro; Gomez Blas, Nuria<br/><br/>Abstract: This paper presents a technique for building complex and adaptive meshes for urban and architectural design. The combination of a self-organizing map and cellular automata algorithms stands as a method for generating meshes otherwise static. This intends to be an auxiliary tool for the architect or the urban planner, improving control over large amounts of spatial information. The traditional grid employed as design aid is improved to become more general and flexible.Aplications of Neural Networks to Find the Impact of Water in Different Berry Components in Grapes

Title: Using a Query Expansion Technique to Improve Document Retrieval<br/><br/>Authors: Abdelmgeid Amin, Aly<br/><br/>Abstract: Query expansion (QE) is a potentially useful technique to help searchers formulate improved query statements, and ultimately retrieve better search results. The objective of our query expansion technique is to find a suitable additional term. Two query expansion methods are applied in sequence to reformulate the query. Experiments on test collections show that the retrieval effectiveness is considerably higher when the query expansion technique is applied.Culture Aspects of Inforaction

Title: A Cognitive Science Reasoning in Recognition of Emotions in Audio-Visual Speech<br/><br/>Authors: Slavova, Velina; Verhelst, Werner; Sahli, Hichem<br/><br/>Abstract: In this report we summarize the state-of-the-art of speech emotion recognition from the signal processing point of view. On the bases of multi-corporal experiments with machine-learning classifiers, the observation is made that existing approaches for supervised machine learning lead to database dependent classifiers which can not be applied for multi-language speech emotion recognition without additional training because they discriminate the emotion classes following the used training language. As there are experimental results showing that Humans can perform language independent categorisation, we made a parallel between machine recognition and the cognitive process and tried to discover the sources of these divergent results. The analysis suggests that the main difference is that the speech perception allows extraction of language independent features although language dependent features are incorporated in all levels of the speech signal and play as a strong discriminative function in human perception. Based on several results in related domains, we have suggested that in addition, the cognitive process of emotion-recognition is based on categorisation, assisted by some hierarchical structure of the emotional categories, existing in the cognitive space of all humans. We propose a strategy for developing language independent machine emotion recognition, related to the identification of language independent speech features and the use of additional information from visual (expression) features.Automatic Creation of Lexical Resources for an Interlingua-based System

Title: Automatic Creation of Lexical Resources for an Interlingua-based System<br/><br/>Authors: Bekios, Juan; Boguslavsky, Igor; Cardenosa, Jesus; Gallardo, Carolina<br/><br/>Abstract: The Universal Networking Language (UNL) is an interlingua designed to be the base of several natural language processing systems aiming to support multilinguality in internet. One of the main components of the language is the dictionary of Universal Words (UWs), which links the vocabularies of the different languages involved in the project. As any NLP system, coverage and accuracy in its lexical resources are crucial for the development of the system. In this paper, the authors describes how a large coverage UWs dictionary was automatically created, based on an existent and well known resource like the English WordNet. Other aspects like implementation details and the evaluation of the final UW set are also depicted.Towards Content-Sensitive Access to the Artefacts of the Bulgarian Iconography
