 The speaker will be traveling from the UK to present this seminar on Applied Computing.  Abstracts:   The COTe score: A decomposable framework for evaluating Document Layout Analysis models Cote score paper Document Layout analysis (DLA), is the process by which a page is parsed into meaningful elements, often using machine learning models. Typically, the quality of a model is judged using general object detection metrics such as IoU, F1 or mAP. However, these metrics are designed for images that are 2D projections of 3D space, not for the natively 2D imagery of printed media. This discrepancy can result in misleading or uninformative interpretation of model performance by the metrics. To encourage more robust, comparable, and nuanced DLA, we introduce: The Structural Semantic Unit (SSU) a relational labelling approach that shifts the focus from the physical to the semantic structure of the content; and the Coverage, Overlap, Trespass, and Excess (COTe) score, a de...

Announcement: Two Tenure Track Faculty Positions at UNF  The University of North Florida School of Computing , located in Jacksonville, Florida, invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions beginning in Fall 2027: Assistant Professor in Computing — Candidates from all areas of computing are encouraged to apply.
