Abstract: Examples herein involve preforming a simulation of a simulated model using precomputed results of the simulation with predetermined values for a parameter set of the simulated model. In examples herein, a test sample set is selected from a sample subsets repository, and using the test sample set, determining results of a simulation of the simulated model for the test parameters.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that can extract domain-specific acronyms and their definitions from large documents is disclosed. Strings of characters indicative of candidate acronyms within a portion of a document may be identified and extracted. Definitions for each selected string of characters may be extracted from text within the document proximal to that string of characters. Candidate acronym/definition pairs may be created for each selected string of characters based on the string of characters and their definitions. A classification system may be iteratively applied to the candidate acronym/definition pairs to create or update an acronym/definition pair dictionary for the document.

Abstract: Systems and methods for text detection are provided. An image is received, and a set of connected components in the image are determined. For each connected component in the set, a bounding area is determined. A set of regions of the image are determined, based on the bounding area. Each region in the set of regions is classified and normalized based on the classification. The normalized set of regions is merged into a binary image.
