The problem of person recognition and verification based on their hand images has been addressed. system is the right hands subjects, captured by a flatbed scanner in an unconstrained pose at 45 dpi. In pre-processing stage algorithm, silhouettes are registered to fixed pose, which involves both rotation translation and, separately, individual fingers. Two feature sets have comparatively assessed, Hausdorff distance contours independent component features silhouette images. Both...

Can we argue that pressures generated from grassroots politics are responsible for the rapid expansion and ethnically/racially uneven distribution of social assistance programs in emerging economies? This article analyzes Turkish case shows Turkey directed disproportionately to Kurdish minority region Turkey, especially internally displaced Kurds urban metropolitan areas. The a cross-sectional dataset by 10,386-informant stratified random sampling survey controls possibly intervening...

Abstract We describe a gold standard corpus of protest events that comprise various local and international English language sources from countries. The contains document-, sentence-, token-level annotations. This facilitates creating machine learning models automatically classify news articles extract event-related information, constructing knowledge bases enable comparative social political science studies. For each source, the annotation starts with random samples continues drawn using...

What welfare state regimes are observed when the analysis is extended globally, empirically and theoretically? We introduce a novel perspective into ‘welfare analyses’ – that brings developed developing countries together and, as such, broadens geographical, empirical theoretical scope of modelling business’. The expanding literature has suffered from several drawbacks: (i) it radically slanted towards organisation for economic co-operation development (OECD) countries, (ii) on non-OECD does...

We present a context-aware hybrid classification system for the problem of fine-grained product class recognition in computer vision. Recently, retail has become an interesting vision research topic. focus on products shelves store. This is very challenging because many classes are visually similar terms shape, color, texture, and metric size. In shelves, same or more likely to appear adjacent each other displayed certain arrangements rather than at random. The arrangement spatial continuity...

Abstract This article aims to consider how Turkey has been classified in the welfare regime literature, and on what basis it classified. will then form for exploring whether there appears be any variation between approaches methods and/or “position” (e.g., location or language) of authors. Studies Turkey’s exhibit a significant degree terms both conclusions, resulting little way consensus. Among Turkish-language studies (and some, but not all, Turkish scholars writing English), does seem...
