> Hi Valerie,
> 
>    Hope I find you fine!

>    I've retired from the university, now dedicating myself to philosophy :-)
> 
>    I'm writing to tell you about a paper I've come across by chance, which deals with a new approach to the computational recognition of SW texts, through an mage processing technique.
> 
>    It's an AI technique with an algorithm that can recognize SW signs from their graphical images (not from code-based XML files, of the SWML kind).
> 
>   Unfortunately, I couldn't follow the technical aspects of the paper in detail. It seems to be a first elaboration of the idea, but if the authors pursue it further it can help to build large SW libraries by incorporating SW texts from their graphic images, directly as their are present in articles, books, and in web pages. 
> 
>    The technical advantage seems to be that the algorithm does not have to learn every new form of enconding SW symbols that may appear in new SW editors, as long as those editors keep the standard visual aspects of SW.
> 
>     Perhaps the authors may be happy that you contact them and profit from a direct interaction with you, if they have not done it yet.
> 
>     And congratulations for the content of your SW site: I find it extremely rich!
