Training dataset generation for automatic registration of a duplicate bridge game

This paper presents a method for automatic generation of a training dataset for a deep convolutional neural network used for playing card detection. The solution allows to skip the time-consuming processes of manual image collecting and labelling recognised objects. The YOLOv4 network trained on the generated dataset achieved an efficiency of 99.8% in the cards detection task. The proposed method is a part of a project that aims to automate the process of broadcasting duplicate bridge competitions using a vision system and neural networks.

The wild card: colonial paper money in French North America, 1685 to 1719

We use the first French experiment with playing card money in its colony of Quebec between 1685 and 1719 to illustrate the link between legal tender restrictions and the price level. Initially, the quantity of playing card money and the government’s poor fiscal condition appears to have had little effect on prices. After 1705, however, the playing card money became inflationary. We argue that this was caused by the government’s increased enforcement of the legal tender laws and the adoption of a redemption plan intended to remove the notes from circulation.

Performing Early Modern Libel

This essay focuses on provincial libel cases between private individuals tried at the court of Star Chamber during the early seventeenth century. Libelling saw personal scandals creatively couched in verses, visual symbols, or mock-ceremonies, and read, sung, and posted in early modern communities. This essay identifies a range of ‘manners’ of libel, and compares a libellous ‘Stage plaie’ to a set of libellous mock-proclamations and a ‘book’ of playing card knaves. The essay argues that libels should be understood as functioning on a spectrum of performance. They should therefore prompt an expansion of the boundaries of early performance.

A pilot study of the Austin Playing Card Assessment: A tool to detect and find the degree of visual perceptual difficulties related to clutter

The Austin Playing Card Assessment was developed to help identify visual perceptual difficulties related to clutter and to determine the nature of each child’s difficulties. The aim of this pilot study was to find out whether a task of progressively increasing difficulty, for pairing playing cards, is effective in identifying these kinds of visual difficulties. Parents of 11 research and 11 control subjects completed an inventory to ascertain whether their child’s visual behaviours were suggestive of visual perceptual difficulties. All participants completed the Austin Playing Card Assessment in two separate locations, with an ABA experimental design. The time taken to complete each level of the test was recorded. Structured observations were made of the participants’ visual behaviours when completing the assessment. Inventory scores from the research subjects indicated a higher likelihood of visual perceptual difficulties, whereas the control subjects’ scores did not. Research subjects were also slower at completing the Austin Playing Card Assessment. Independent T-tests comparing the time taken across all levels of difficulty ranged between p = .011 to p < .001. Cohen’s d calculations demonstrated a large effect size. Overall, research subjects demonstrated more indicators of visual perceptual difficulties. The Austin Playing Card Assessment has the potential to be effective for detecting and identifying visual perceptual difficulties in children. Information gathered through the assessment process could also be used to inform intervention. As this was a pilot study, further research is needed to support these findings.
