Snap-n-Snack: a Food Image Recognition Application
Many people desire to be informed about the nutritional specifics of the food they consume. Current popular dietary tracking methods are too slow and tedious for a lot of consumers due to requiring manual data entry for everything eaten. We propose a system that will take advantage of image recognition and the internal camera of Android phones to identify food based off of a picture of a user’s plate. Over the course the last year, we trained an object detection model with images of different types of food, built a mobile application around it, and tested their integration and performance. We believe that our program meets the requirements we set out for it at its conception and delivers a simple, fast, and efficient way of tracking one’s diet
P-model Alternative to the T-model
Standard linguistic analysis of syntax uses the T-model. This model
requires the ordering: D-structure S-structure LF,
where D-structure is the deep structure,
S-structure is the surface structure, and LF is logical form.
Between each of these representations there is movement which alters
the order of the constituent words; movement is achieved using the principles
and parameters of syntactic theory. Psychological analysis of sentence
production is usually either serial or connectionist. Psychological serial
models do not accommodate the T-model immediately so that here a new model
called the P-model is introduced. The P-model is different from previous
linguistic and psychological models. Here it is argued that the LF
representation should be replaced by a variant
of Frege's three qualities (sense, reference, and force),
called the Frege representation or F-representation.
In the F-representation the order of elements is not necessarily the same as
that in LF and it is suggested that the correct ordering is:
F-representation D-structure S-structure.
This ordering appears to lead to a more natural
view of sentence production and processing. Within this framework movement
originates as the outcome of emphasis applied to the sentence. The
requirement that the F-representation precedes the D-structure needs a picture
of the particular principles and parameters which pertain to movement of words
between representations. In general this would imply that there is a
preferred or optimal ordering of the symbolic string in the F-representation.
The standard ordering is retained because the general way of producing
such an optimal ordering is unclear. In this case it is possible to produce
an analysis of movement between LF and D-structure similar to the usual
analysis of movement between S-structure and LF.
It is suggested that a maximal amount of information about
a language's grammar and lexicon is stored,
because of the necessity of analyzing corrupted data
Diversity in leadership: Australian women, past and present
This book provides a new understanding of the historical and contemporary aspects of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women’s leadership in a range of local, national and international contexts.
Overview
While leadership is an over-used term today, how it is defined for women and the contexts in which it emerges remains elusive. Moreover, women are exhorted to exercise leadership, but occupying leadership positions has its challenges. Issues of access, acceptable behaviour and the development of skills to be successful leaders are just some of them.
Diversity in Leadership: Australian women, past and present provides a new understanding of the historical and contemporary aspects of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women’s leadership in a range of local, national and international contexts. It brings interdisciplinary expertise to the topic from leading scholars in a range of fields and diverse backgrounds. The aims of the essays in the collection document the extent and diverse nature of women’s social and political leadership across various pursuits and endeavours within democratic political structures
