Pini Language and PiniTree Ontology Editor: Annotation and Verbalisation for Atomised Journalism

We present a new ontology language Pini and the PiniTree ontology editor supporting it. Despite Pini language bearing lot of similarities with RDF, UML class diagrams, Property Graphs and their frontends like Google Knowledge Graph and Protege, it is a more expressive language enabling FrameNet-style natural language annotation for Atomised journalism use case.

Domain-Specific OWL Ontology Visualization with OWLGrEd

The OWLGrEd ontology editor allows graphical visualization and authoring of OWL 2.0 ontologies using a compact yet intuitive presentation that combines UML class diagram notation with textual Manchester syntax for expressions. We present an extension mechanism for OWLGrEd that allows adding custom information areas, rules and visual effects to the ontology presentation thus enabling domain specific OWL ontology visualizations. The usage of OWLGrEd and its extensions is demonstrated on ontology engineering examples involving custom annotation visualizations, advanced UML class dia-gram constructs and integrity constraints in semantic database schema design.

Metamodel specialization based DSL for DL lifecycle data management

A new Domain Specific Language (DSL) based approach to Deep Learning (DL) lifecycle data management (LDM) is presented: a very simple but universal DL LDM tool, still usable in practice (called Core tool); and an advanced extension mechanism, that converts the Core tool into a DSL tool building framework for DL LDM tasks. The method used is based on the metamodel specialisation approach for DSL modeling tools introduced by authors.

Towards DSL for DL Lifecycle Data Management

A new method based on Domain Specific Language (DSL) approach to Deep Learning (DL) lifecycle data management tool support is presented: a very simple DL lifecycle data management tool, which however is usable in practice (it will be called Core tool) and a very advanced extension mechanism which in fact converts the Core tool into domain specific tool (DSL tool) building framework for DL lifecycle data management tasks. The extension mechanism will be based on the metamodel specialization approach to DSL modeling tools introduced by authors. The main idea of metamodel specialization is that we, at first, define the Universal Metamodel (UMM) for a domain and then for each use case define a …

Implementing a Face Recognition System for Media Companies

During the past few years face recognition technologies have greatly benefited from the huge progress in machine learning and now have achieved precision rates that are even comparable with humans. This allows us to apply face recognition technologies more effectively for a number of practical problems in various businesses like media monitoring, security, advertising, entertainment that we previously were not able to do due to low precision rates of existing face recognition technologies. In this paper we discuss how to build a face recognition system for media companies and share our experience gained from implementing one for Latvian national news agency LETA. Our contribution is: which …

Text Extraction from Scrolling News Tickers

While a lot of work exists on text or keyword extraction from videos, not a lot can be found on the exact problem of extracting continuous text from scrolling tickers. In this work a novel Tesseract OCR based pipeline is proposed for location and continuous text extraction from scrolling tickers in videos. The solution worked faster than real time, and achieved a character accuracy of 97.3% on 45 min of manually transcribed 360p videos of popular Latvian news shows.
