CONFIRM – Clustering of noisy form images using robust matching

Chris Tensmeyer, Tony Martinez
2019 Pattern Recognition  
This work presents a novel algorithm: CONFIRM (Clustering Of Noisy Form Images using Robust Matching), which simultaneously discovers the types in a collection of forms and assigns each form to a type.  ...  CONFIRM matches type-set text and rule lines between forms to create domain specific features, which we show outperform Bag of Visual Word (BoVW) features employed by the current state-of-the-art.  ...  This work presents CONFIRM (Clustering Of Noisy Form Images using Robust Matching), an approach which performs unsupervised form type discovery and assignment in the presence of significant noise.  ...

Spectroscopic confirmation of redshifts predicted by gravitational lensing

Tim Ebbels, Richard Ellis, Jean-Paul Kneib, Jean-François Roser Le Borgne Pelló, Ian Smail, Blai Sanahuja
1998 Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society  
We present deep spectroscopic measurements of 18 distant field galaxies identified as gravitationally-lensed arcs in a Hubble Space Telescope image of the cluster Abell 2218.  ...  Redshifts of these objects were predicted by Kneib et al. (1996) using a lensing analysis constrained by the properties of two bright arcs of known redshift and other multiply-imaged sources.  ...  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We thank Mike Breare and all the La Palma support sta for ensuring the smooth operation of LDSS-2 on the WHT. We especially thank Karl Glazebrook for the use of his RED-SHIFT utility.  ...

2022 Astronomical Journal  
Wide-field searches for young stellar objects (YSOs) can place useful constraints on the prevalence of clustered versus distributed star formation.  ...  We confirm the YSO classifications of all 26 sources based on their positions on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, H and Ca ii line emission from over half the sample, and robust detection of infrared excesses  ...  We would like to thank the referee for providing a thorough report and many useful suggestions.  ...

EVIDENCE FOR PopIII-LIKE STELLAR POPULATIONS IN THE MOST LUMINOUS LyαEMITTERS AT THE EPOCH OF REIONIZATION: SPECTROSCOPIC CONFIRMATION

David Sobral, Jorryt Matthee, Behnam Darvish, Daniel Schaerer, Bahram Mobasher, Huub J. A. Röttgering, Sérgio Santos, Shoubaneh Hemmati
2015 Astrophysical Journal  
We used X-SHOOTER, SINFONI and FORS2 (VLT), and DEIMOS (Keck), to confirm both candidates beyond any doubt. We find redshifts of z=6.541 and z=6.604 for MASOSA and CR7, respectively.  ...  Our findings are consistent with theoretical predictions of a PopIII wave, with PopIII star formation migrating away from the original sites of star formation.  ...  We thank the anonymous reviewer for useful and constructive comments and suggestions which greatly improved the quality and clarity of our work.  ...
