WAYVision: A hybrid deep learning approach for recognizing handwritten Kannada Braille using wavelet transformation and attention based YOLOv5 by Bipin Nair B J, Niranjan, Saketh P, Shobha Rani N

“…This study aims to contribute significantly to the empowerment of visually impaired communities through advancements in automated Braille recognition systems. • The study addresses the challenge of handwritten Kannada Braille recognition using a uniquely curated dataset from Kaggle and blind schools, divided into vowels and consonants. • The proposed system achieves high accuracy (97.9 % for 70:30 and 98.7 % for 80:20 split) showing superior feature extraction and handling of spatial misalignments in Braille dots. • Comparative analysis of state-of-the-art methods confirms the model’s efficiency in overcoming limitations of conventional techniques, contributing to assistive technology for visually impaired communities.…”

The theme-centred interview and the map of meanings: A phenomenological approach to the analysis of experience by Maria Armezzani, Luca Zamengo

“…This paper presents a methodological proposal for phenomenological interviewing, the theme-centred interview, designed to facilitate in-depth exploration of the meanings experienced in relation to a theme. The method is rooted in the phenomenological tradition, but incorporates innovative aspects, including the systematic use of aphorisms, a specific coding system with qualitative criteria that encompasses elements of the researcher's experience, and the use of existential categories to frame results within a phenomenological context. …”
