Natural language processing (NLP) techniques have transformed a number of tasks in the modern age of information explosion where millions of gigabytes of data are generated every day. Despite achieving state-of-the-art performance in high-resource languages, current techniques struggle with processing under-resourced languages which are characterized by data scarcity, linguistic diversity, computational limitations, ambiguity of language…

The knowledge and understanding of the technology of quantum computers and their superiority over classical computers are still insufficient or uncertain for many communities of researchers, manufacturers, investors and the general public. For this reason, we try in this article to present and explain some of the basic concepts of quantum computers. We explain how…

The efficient processing of database applications on computing systems with multi-tiered persistent storage devices needs specialized algorithms to create optimal persistent storage management plans. A correct allocation and deallocation of multi-tiered persistent storage may significantly improve the overall performance of data processing. This paper describes the new algorithms that create allocation and deallocation plans for…

Air Navigation Aids (NAVAIDs) whether implemented on the ground or in space and the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) system need to be checked in flight to ensure compliance with the standards set by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This activity has been carried out for decades by conventional aircraft and is usually done at…

Waste is currently a serious problem often found in rural areas, rural areas, and even industrial areas. Waste is a side effect of activities carried out by humans to meet social or industrial needs. Increasing human productivity will also increase the amount of waste produced. To overcome this, a sorting management system is needed. Good…

In this work we propose an algorithm for Peruvian counterfeit banknotes detection. Our algorithm operates in banknotes with 50, 100 and 200 soles denominations that were manufactured from 2009 onwards. This algorithm offers an automatic diagnosis based on digital image processing and support vector machines (SVM). Current Peruvian counterfeit detection systems are specially designed to…

We can also say that the local interpolation cubic spline models…

In 1980, an application was developed to track, manage and store documents in electronic format. Scan technology has enabled organizations to digitize papers for easier document storage and tracking. Document management tools have since developed by introducing new functionalities, related to security, users services, workflow and audit. Our research is part of the context of…

Forecasting the occurrence and development of thunderstorms near insured mobile objects, such as aircraft carriers, oil tankers, requires the usage of appropriate single-point monitoring systems (SPMS) of thunderstorm activity. These systems must be small and included in the equipment of the objects. A SPMS based on EH location finder meets the requirements of small dimensions.…

Dithering or error diffusion is a technique used to obtain a binary image, suitable for printing, from a grayscale one. At each step, the algorithm computes an allowed value of a pixel from a grayscale one, applying a threshold and, therefore, causing a conversion error. To obtain the optical illusion of a continuous tone, the…
