The significance of reading order in document recognition and its evaluation (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Clausner, C., Pletschacher, S., & Antonacopoulos, A. (2013). The significance of reading order in document recognition and its evaluation. In Proceedings of the 2013 12th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICDAR.2013.141

Reading order detection and representation is an important task in many digitisation scenarios involving the preservation of the logical structure of a document. The corresponding need for the evaluation of reading order results generated by layout a... Read More about The significance of reading order in document recognition and its evaluation.

Word-Based adaptive OCR for historical books (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Kluzner, V., Tzadok, A., Shimony, Y., Walach, E., & Antonacopoulos, A. (2009). Word-Based adaptive OCR for historical books. In 2009 10th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition. https://doi.org/10.1109/ICDAR.2009.133

The aim of this work is to propose a new approach to the recognition of historical texts by providing an adaptive mechanism that automatically tunes itself to a specific book. The system is based on clustering together all the similar words in a book... Read More about Word-Based adaptive OCR for historical books.

Inferring the function of genes from synthetic lethal mutations (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Ray, O., & Bryant, C. (2008). Inferring the function of genes from synthetic lethal mutations. In F. Xhafa, & L. Barolli (Eds.), Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems (667-671). https://doi.org/10.1109/CISIS.2008.124

Techniques for detecting synthetic lethal mutations in double gene deletion experiments are emerging as powerful tool for analysing genes in parallel or overlapping pathways with a shared function. This paper introduces a logic-based approach that us... Read More about Inferring the function of genes from synthetic lethal mutations.
