Title Word-Wise Thai and Roman Script Identification Type (up) Journal
Year 2009 Publication ACM Transactions on Asian Language Information Processing Abbreviated Journal TALIP
Volume 8 Issue 3 Pages 1-21
Keywords
Abstract In some Thai documents, a single text line of a printed document page may contain words of both Thai and Roman scripts. For the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of such a document page it is better to identify, at first, Thai and Roman script portions and then to use individual OCR systems of the respective scripts on these identified portions. In this article, an SVM-based method is proposed for identification of word-wise printed Roman and Thai scripts from a single line of a document page. Here, at first, the document is segmented into lines and then lines are segmented into character groups (words). In the proposed scheme, we identify the script of a character group combining different character features obtained from structural shape, profile behavior, component overlapping information, topological properties, and water reservoir concept, etc. Based on the experiment on 10,000 data (words) we obtained 99.62% script identification accuracy from the proposed scheme.

Title A Tale of two Transcriptions Type (up) Journal
Year 2015 Publication Historical Life Course Studies Abbreviated Journal
Volume 2 Issue Pages 1-19
Keywords Nominative Sources; Census; Vital Records; Computer Vision; Optical Character Recognition; Word Spotting
Abstract non-indexed
This article explains how two projects implement semi-automated transcription routines: for census sheets in Norway and marriage protocols from Barcelona. The Spanish system was created to transcribe the marriage license books from 1451 to 1905 for the Barcelona area; one of the world’s longest series of preserved vital records. Thus, in the Project “Five Centuries of Marriages” (5CofM) at the Autonomous University of Barcelona’s Center for Demographic Studies, the Barcelona Historical Marriage Database has been built. More than 600,000 records were transcribed by 150 transcribers working online. The Norwegian material is cross-sectional as it is the 1891 census, recorded on one sheet per person. This format and the underlining of keywords for several variables made it more feasible to semi-automate data entry than when many persons are listed on the same page. While Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for printed text is scientifically mature, computer vision research is now focused on more difficult problems such as handwriting recognition. In the marriage project, document analysis methods have been proposed to automatically recognize the marriage licenses. Fully automatic recognition is still a challenge, but some promising results have been obtained. In Spain, Norway and elsewhere the source material is available as scanned pictures on the Internet, opening up the possibility for further international cooperation concerning automating the transcription of historic source materials. Like what is being done in projects to digitize printed materials, the optimal solution is likely to be a combination of manual transcription and machine-assisted recognition also for hand-written sources.

Title Mathematics learning opportunities when playing a Tower Defense Game Type (up) Journal
Year 2015 Publication International Journal of Serious Games Abbreviated Journal IJSG
Volume 2 Issue 4 Pages 57-71
Keywords Tower Defense game; learning opportunities; mathematics; problem solving; game design
Abstract A qualitative research study is presented herein with the purpose of identifying mathematics learning opportunities in students between 10 and 12 years old while playing a commercial version of a Tower Defense game. These learning opportunities are understood as mathematicisable moments of the game and involve the establishment of relationships between the game and mathematical problem solving. Based on the analysis of these mathematicisable moments, we conclude that the game can promote problem-solving processes and learning opportunities that can be associated with different mathematical contents that appears in mathematics curricula, thought it seems that teacher or new game elements might be needed to facilitate the processes.

Title Fundamentals of cone regression Type (up) Journal
Year 2016 Publication Journal of Statistics Surveys Abbreviated Journal
Volume 10 Issue Pages 53-99
Keywords cone regression; linear complementarity problems; proximal operators.
Abstract Cone regression is a particular case of quadratic programming that minimizes a weighted sum of squared residuals under a set of linear inequality constraints. Several important statistical problems such as isotonic, concave regression or ANOVA under partial orderings, just to name a few, can be considered as particular instances of the cone regression problem. Given its relevance in Statistics, this paper aims to address the fundamentals of cone regression from a theoretical and practical point of view. Several formulations of the cone regression problem are considered and, focusing on the particular case of concave regression as an example, several algorithms are analyzed and compared both qualitatively and quantitatively through numerical simulations. Several improvements to enhance numerical stability and bound the computational cost are proposed. For each analyzed algorithm, the pseudo-code and its corresponding code in Matlab are provided. The results from this study demonstrate that the choice of the optimization approach strongly impacts the numerical performances. It is also shown that methods are not currently available to solve efficiently cone regression problems with large dimension (more than many thousands of points). We suggest further research to fill this gap by exploiting and adapting classical multi-scale strategy to compute an approximate solution.

Title Recurso docente para la atención de la diversidad en el aula mediante la predicción de notas Type (up) Journal
Year 2016 Publication ReVision Abbreviated Journal
Volume 9 Issue 1 Pages
Keywords Aprendizaje automatico; Sistema de prediccion de notas; Herramienta docente
Abstract Desde la implantación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) en los diferentes grados, se ha puesto de manifiesto la necesidad de utilizar diversos mecanismos que permitan tratar la diversidad en el aula, evaluando automáticamente y proporcionando una retroalimentación rápida tanto al alumnado como al profesorado sobre la evolución de los alumnos en una asignatura. En este artículo se presenta la evaluación de la exactitud en las predicciones de GRADEFORESEER, un recurso docente para la predicción de notas basado en técnicas de aprendizaje automático que permite evaluar la evolución del alumnado y estimar su nota final al terminar el curso. Este recurso se ha complementado con una interfaz de usuario para el profesorado que puede ser usada en diferentes plataformas software (sistemas operativos) y en cualquier asignatura de un grado en la que se utilice evaluación continuada. Además de la descripción del recurso, este artículo presenta los resultados obtenidos al aplicar el sistema de predicción en cuatro asignaturas de disciplinas distintas: Programación I (PI), Diseño de Software (DSW) del grado de Ingeniería Informática, Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) del grado de Lingüística y la asignatura Fundamentos de Tecnología (FDT) del grado de Información y Documentación, todas ellas impartidas en la Universidad de Barcelona.

La capacidad predictiva se ha evaluado de forma binaria (aprueba o no) y según un criterio de rango (suspenso, aprobado, notable o sobresaliente), obteniendo mejores predicciones en los resultados evaluados de forma binaria.

Title Development of general‐purpose projection‐based augmented reality systems Type (up) Journal
Year 2016 Publication IADIs international journal on computer science and information systems Abbreviated Journal IADIs
Volume 11 Issue 2 Pages 1-18
Keywords
Abstract Despite the large amount of methods and applications of augmented reality, there is little homogenizatio n on the software platforms that support them. An exception may be the low level control software that is provided by some high profile vendors such as Qualcomm and Metaio. However, these provide fine grain modules for e.g. element tracking. We are more co ncerned on the application framework, that includes the control of the devices working together for the development of the AR experience. In this paper we describe the development of a software framework for AR setups. We concentrate on the modular design of the framework, but also on some hard problems such as the calibration stage, crucial for projection – based AR. The developed framework is suitable and has been tested in AR applications using camera – projector pairs, for both fixed and nomadic setups

Title Noves perspectives en l estudi de la territorialitat cromosomica de cel·lules germinals masculines: estudis tridimensionals Type (up) Journal
Year 2017 Publication Biologia de la Reproduccio Abbreviated Journal JBR
Volume 15 Issue Pages 73-78
Keywords
Abstract In somatic cells, chromosomes occupy specific nuclear regions called chromosome territories which are involved in the
maintenance and regulation of the genome. Preliminary data in male germ cells also suggest the importance of chromosome
territoriality in cell functionality. Nevertheless, the specific characteristics of testicular tissue (presence of different
cell types with different morphological characteristics, in different stages of development and with different ploidy)
makes difficult to achieve conclusive results. In this study we have developed a methodology to approach the threedimensional
study of all chromosome territories in male germ cells from C57BL/6J mice (Mus musculus). The method
includes the following steps: i) Optimized cell fixation to obtain an optimal preservation of the three-dimensionality cell
morphology, ii) Chromosome identification by FISH (Chromoprobe Multiprobe® OctoChrome™ Murine System; Cytocell)
and confocal microscopy (TCS-SP5, Leica Microsystems), iii) Cell type identification by immunofluorescence
iv) Image analysis using Matlab scripts, v) Numerical data extraction related to chromosome features, chromosome
radial position and chromosome relative position. This methodology allows the unequivocally identification and the
analysis of the chromosome territories of all spermatogenic stages. Results will provide information about the features
that determine chromosomal position, preferred associations between chromosomes, and the relationship between chromosome
positioning and genome regulation.

Title Towards a computed-aided diagnosis system in colonoscopy: Automatic polyp segmentation using convolution neural networks Type (up) Journal
Year 2018 Publication Journal of Medical Robotics Research Abbreviated Journal JMRR
Volume 3 Issue 2 Pages
Keywords convolutional neural networks; colonoscopy; computer aided diagnosis
Abstract Early diagnosis is essential for the successful treatment of bowel cancers including colorectal cancer (CRC) and capsule endoscopic imaging with robotic actuation can be a valuable diagnostic tool when combined with automated image analysis. We present a deep learning rooted detection and segmentation framework for recognizing lesions in colonoscopy and capsule endoscopy images. We restructure established convolution architectures, such as VGG and ResNets, by converting them into fully-connected convolution networks (FCNs), ne-tune them and study their capabilities for polyp segmentation and detection. We additionally use Shape-from-Shading (SfS) to recover depth and provide a richer representation of the tissue's structure in colonoscopy images. Depth is
incorporated into our network models as an additional input channel to the RGB information and we demonstrate that the resulting network yields improved performance. Our networks are tested on publicly available datasets and the most accurate segmentation model achieved a mean segmentation IU of 47.78% and 56.95% on the ETIS-Larib and CVC-Colon datasets, respectively. For polyp
detection, the top performing models we propose surpass the current state of the art with detection recalls superior to 90% for all datasets tested. To our knowledge, we present the rst work to use FCNs for polyp segmentation in addition to proposing a novel combination of SfS and RGB that boosts performance.

Title Automatic RBG-depth-pressure anthropometric analysis and individualised sleep solution prescription Type (up) Journal
Year 2017 Publication Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology Abbreviated Journal JMET
Volume 41 Issue 6 Pages 486-497
Keywords
Abstract INTRODUCTION:
Sleep surfaces must adapt to individual somatotypic features to maintain a comfortable, convenient and healthy sleep, preventing diseases and injuries. Individually determining the most adequate rest surface can often be a complex and subjective question.
OBJECTIVES:
To design and validate an automatic multimodal somatotype determination model to automatically recommend an individually designed mattress-topper-pillow combination.
METHODS:
Design and validation of an automated prescription model for an individualised sleep system is performed through a single-image 2 D-3 D analysis and body pressure distribution, to objectively determine optimal individual sleep surfaces combining five different mattress densities, three different toppers and three cervical pillows.
RESULTS:
A final study (n = 151) and re-analysis (n = 117) defined and validated the model, showing high correlations between calculated and real data (>85% in height and body circumferences, 89.9% in weight, 80.4% in body mass index and more than 70% in morphotype categorisation).
CONCLUSIONS:
Somatotype determination model can accurately prescribe an individualised sleep solution. This can be useful for healthy people and for health centres that need to adapt sleep surfaces to people with special needs. Next steps will increase model's accuracy and analise, if this prescribed individualised sleep solution can improve sleep quantity and quality; additionally, future studies will adapt the model to mattresses with technological improvements, tailor-made production and will define interfaces for people with special needs.
