Handwriting Quality Evaluation
2001This paper presents an approach to evaluate the quality of handwritten letters based on the set of features that are used by human handwriting experts. The use of these attributes allows very intuitive interpretation of the results and as a consequence provides solid foundation for feedback to the end user of the system.

Big Data Quality: A Quality Dimensions Evaluation
2016 Intl IEEE Conferences on Ubiquitous Intelligence & Computing, Advanced and Trusted Computing, Scalable Computing and Communications, Cloud and Big Data Computing, Internet of People, and Smart World Congress (UIC/ATC/ScalCom/CBDCom/IoP/SmartWorld), 2016Data is the most valuable asset companies are proud of. When its quality degrades, the consequences are unpredictable, can lead to complete wrong insights. In Big Data context, evaluating the data quality is challenging, must be done prior to any Big data analytics by providing some data quality confidence. Given the huge data size, its fast generation,

IT Evaluation is essential, given that the value of investment in the IT industry is currently almost $2 trillion US. There is no doubt that an effective organisation will try to evaluate IT effectiveness, by linking performance measures with a financial perspective (i.e. a shareholders’ view); an internal business perspective (i.e.

Perceptual evaluation of singing quality
2017 Asia-Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association Annual Summit and Conference (APSIPA ASC), 2017A perceptually valid automatic singing evaluation score could serve as a complement to singing lessons, and make singing training more reachable to the masses. In this study, we adopt the idea behind PESQ (Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality) scoring metrics, and propose various perceptually relevant features to evaluate singing quality.

Formative Evaluation of Handwriting Quality
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2003A test developed for formative evaluation of handwriting quality is described and validated. The test is based on a domain of content for the handwriting skill defined in terms of the deviation of the writing in a handwriting specimen from the handwriting standard. A corresponding domain of elementary test items is defined in terms of the means and the
