In this paper we propose a statistical similarity checking method to identify the similarity between two handwritten signatures. Initially, we process the handwritten signature images in various image processing techniques and store in a magnetic storage device. In turn, during the time of similarity checking, our algorithm generates a binary dotplot matrix for each of the signature image in the storage with the input signature image of a particular user domain. In this paper, these binary dotplot matrices guide us to identify the degree of similarity or homology or duplicate copy of handwritten signature of any user. In this paper we deal with only binary dotplot similarity technique.

The initial step in most facial age estimation systems consists of accurately aligning a model to the output of a face detector (e. g. an Active Appearance Model). This fitting process is very expensive in terms of computational resources and prone to get stuck in local minima. This makes it impractical for analysing faces in resource limited computing devices. In this paper we build a face age regressor that is able to work directly on faces cropped using a state-of-the-art face detector. Our procedure uses K nearest neighbours (K-NN) regression with a metric based on a properly tuned Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) projection matrix. On FG-NET we achieve a state-of-the-art Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 5.72 years with manually aligned faces. Using face images cropped by a face detector we get a MAE of 6.87 years in the same database. Moreover, most of the algorithms presented in the literature have been evaluated on single database experiments and therefore, they report optimistically biased results. In our cross-database experiments we get a MAE of roughly 12 years, which would be the expected performance in a real world application.

In this paper we develop two methods that are able to analyze and recognize patterns in time series. The first model is based on analytic programming (AP), which belongs to softcomputing. AP is based as well as genetic programming on the set of functions, operators and so-called terminals, which are usually constants or independent variables. The second one uses an artificial neural network that is adapted by back propagation. Artificial neural networks are suitable for patternrecognition in time series mainly because of learning only from examples. There is no need to add additional information that could bring more confusion than recognition effect. Neural networks are able to generalize and are resistant to noise. On the other hand, it is generally not possible to determine exactly what a neural network learned and it is also hard to estimate possible recognition error. They are ideal especially when we do not have any other description of the observed series. This paper also includes experimental results of time series patternrecognition carried out with both mentioned methods, which have proven their suitability for this type of problem solving.

The increase in on-chip transistor count facilitates achieving higher performance, but at the expense of higher susceptibility to soft errors. In this paper, we characterize the challenges posed by soft errors for large-scale applications representative of workloads on supercomputing systems. Such applications are typically based on the computational solution of partial differential equation models using either explicit or implicit methods. In both cases, the execution time of such applications is typically dominated by the time spent in their underlying sparse matrix vector multiplication kernel (SpMV, t ← A·y). We provide a theoretical analysis of the impact of a single soft error through its propagation by a sequence of sparse matrix vector multiplication operations. Our analysis indicates that a single soft error in some ith component of the vector y can corrupt the entire resultant vector in a relatively short sequence of SpMV operations. Additionally, the propagation pattern corresponds to the sparsity structure of the coefficient matrix A and the magnitude of the error grows non-linearly as(||A i||2*)k, after k SpMV operations, where, ||Ai*||2 is the 2-norm of the ith row of A. We corroborate this analysis with empirical observations on a model heat equation using explicit method and well known sparse matrix systems (matrices from a test suite) for the implicit method using iterative solvers such as CG, PCG and SOR. Our results indicate that explicit schemes will suffer from soft error induced numerical instabilities, thus exacerbating intrinsic stability issues for such methods, that impose constraints on relative time and space step sizes. For implicit schemes, linear solver performance through widely used CG and PCG schemes, degrades by a factor as high as 200x, whereas, a stationary scheme such as SOR is inherently soft error resilient. Our results thus indicate the need for new approaches to achieve soft error resiliency in such methods and a critical ev
