Context: # Chapter 10: Words to Paragraphs

The finished paragraphs of type are arranged in a **galley**. This will be used to make prints of the page (or pages – two or four may be printed from one galley, then folded and cut). You can imagine how long it takes to make up the galleys for a book, and how much time is required to justify each line by inserting exactly the right spaces and hyphenating by hand. Mistakes found after test prints can be very costly to fix, since they necessitate taking apart the work.

Context: # Chapter 8. Grey Areas

If we have to manually pick a suitable threshold for each image in a book to get even an acceptable result, the process is going to be time consuming. Here is our black to white gradient at 40%, 50%, and 60% thresholds:

| Threshold | Image                             |
|-----------|-----------------------------------|
| 40%       | ![Black to White 40%](path/to/image1) |
| 50%       | ![Black to White 50%](path/to/image2) |
| 60%       | ![Black to White 60%](path/to/image3) |

These images bear almost no resemblance to the original. Before describing some more advanced methods for grey tone reproduction, like the one used to make the images at the head of this chapter, we shall take a brief historical detour—the problem of reproducing grey tones is not intrinsically one of computer printing, but has been important in newspaper and print production for hundreds of years.

The process of printing is essentially one of duplication. In former times, if we wanted just one of something, we could have a painter paint it, or a scribe write it down. We might even be able to...

Context: # Chapter 10. Words to Paragraphs

What do we notice? The left and right hands of the block of text are straight – no ragged edges. This is called **full justification**. We notice that some of the lines have a hyphen at the end, in the middle of a word. Looking carefully, we see that the spacing between words is not consistent from line to line. The last line of each paragraph does not go all the way to the end; the first may be indented.

How do we build a line from a list of letters? We know that each letter in a typeface has an origin, as well as an advancement which specifies how far to move to the right after drawing a character. We know also about kerning, which tells us that certain letter combinations must appear closer together. Here is a line of text, showing the (usually invisible) boxes which help to position each character:

> “What’s happened to me”, he thought.

If all our characters fortuitously added up to the correct width for a line, or we were happy to break words with hyphens anywhere, or did not want a straight right edge, this is all we would have to do. We would draw the characters in order until we reached the end of a line, and then start on the next line, moving down the page the right amount (called the **leading** – pronounced “leading”). Alas, the world is not that simple, and we must add space to fill out the line. This can look poor if done badly, especially when a narrow column is used, such as in a newspaper:

```
Full justification in a narrow column
can make big gaps between words
and letters.
```

Here, space has been added not only between words but between letters, to make the line fit. Generally, we like to add most of the needed space between words, rather than between individual letters. Here is a paragraph typeset to three different column widths:

Context: # Chapter 5. Typing it In

Again, we choose the tone. Contextual information, such as the previous character, is used to disambiguate the two-character sequence and, in this case, the most common possibility is correct: 櫻桃

Different systems are popular in each part of Asia, and in each generation, and depend upon the device in use. Indeed, one person may use a particular system on their computer and entirely another on their mobile phone, which has even less space for keys (real or virtual).

We have seen how English and the world’s many other languages might be typed into the computer. There have been many attempts to replace the keyboard for text input, such as voice recognition, which have made some inroads in automotive and niche applications, but for general purpose computing, the keyboard, real or virtual, is still king.

## Grey Areas

With only black ink and white paper, we can draw both beautiful letters and good line drawings, such as the diagrams of Bézier curves from Chapter 2. But what about reproducing photographs? How can we create the intermediate grey tones? Consider the following two images: a photograph of a camel and a rather higher-resolution picture of a smooth gradient between black and white:

![Camel](path/to/camel-image.jpg)

![Gradient](path/to/gradient-image.jpg)

We shall use these pictures to compare the different methods of reproduction we discuss. From looking at the page (at least if you are reading this book in physical form rather than on a computer).

Context: # Chapter 6. Saving Space

A common use for this sort of encoding is in the sending of faxes. A fax consists of a high-resolution black and white image. In this case, we are not compressing characters, but the black and white image of those characters itself. Take the following fragment:

![FAX](https://example.com/fax_image.png)  
*This image is 37 pixels wide and 15 tall. Here it is with a grid superimposed to make it easier to count pixels:*

```
█████████████████████████████████████████
███████████████  FAX   ██████████████████
█████████████████████████████████████████
```

We cannot compress the whole thing with Huffman encoding, since we do not know the frequencies at the outset—a fax is sent incrementally. One machine scans the document whilst the machine at the other end of the phone line prints the result as it pulls paper from its roll. It had to be this way because, when fax machines were in their infancy, computer memory was very expensive, so receiving and storing the whole image in one go and only then printing it out was not practical.

The solution the fax system uses is as follows. Instead of sending individual pixels, we send a line at a time, a list of runs. Each run is a length of white pixels or a length of black pixels. For example, a line of width 38 might contain 12 pixels of white, then 4 of black, then 2 of white, then 18 of black, and then 3 of white. We look up the code for each run and send the codes in order. To avoid the

Context: # Chapter 8: Grey Areas

When viewed from a normal reading distance, you can see that it is indeed possible. But how?

The simplest method of converting a grey image into a black and white one is simply to pick a level of grey above which we consider each part of the image black and below which we consider it white. Here is our camel, printed using black ink for any part which is more than 50% black (i.e. a mid grey), and no ink for any part which is less than 50% black:

![Camel at 50% threshold](#)

Well, we can see the shape of the camel, but the result is less than spectacular. Let's try moving the threshold to 40%:

![Camel at 40% threshold](#)

We can’t see as much detail of the camel in this case, but at least its legs are solid. If we move the other way, to a threshold of 60%, things get even worse:

Here is our camel picture and gradient processed with the algorithm described above.

![Camel Picture](path/to/camel_picture.png)

You can see that there appear to be much finer gradations of grey and that, whilst the eye can discern some patterns in the flat shaded areas, they are much less distracting than in the case of the ordered dither. Overall, a much more pleasing result. The gradient is much finer too, especially when viewed from a distance. There are several newer variations on this procedure, using more complicated diffusion of errors.

You can see that the spacing of the dots is quite wide, and that they can be quite large: this is counterintuitive but deliberate. By making sure that the dots are properly separate, we make the image easily reproducible, even on cheap, porous newsprint. Perhaps 50 to 80 lines of dots per inch is sufficient. For higher-quality coated paper used in book production, we might be able to go as far as 150 lines per inch or ppi.

Early methods of halftone production involved placing a device known as a halftone screen in front of photographic paper and projecting the original image through it with the use of a camera lens. The first halftone screens were made in about 1850 from a fine cloth gauze by the British scientist William Henry Fox Talbot (1800–1877). Later, they were commercially manufactured from glass engraved with a grid of lines. The effect of these, through optical effects, is to project a halftone image—a series of distinct dots of varying size—onto the photographic paper. This can then be used as the starting point for producing plates for printing. The image has successfully been reduced to only black and white through purely physical means. 

Figure 1 is one of the earliest halftone pictures in mass production: it shows Steinway Hall on East 14th Street in Manhattan, printed in the Daily Graphic on December 2nd, 1873. This was the first method of printing a photograph direct from the negative with no manual intervention.

Returning to Computer Science, we can simulate the halftone screen in software, to produce the appropriate dot pattern for printing. Consider the three versions of our current figure. The first one, with the smallest dots, seems to have the highest effective sharpness and visual resolution. However, as the maximum dot size increases, so does the number of possible shades. The middle image, when viewed at a distance, is in fact a closer representation of the original image. The last one has yet more sizes of dots (and so, effective grey levels) but the resolution is now too coarse. We turn to our gradient for another look, printed in the same halftones as the camel pictures:

![Dithering Patterns](image-url-here)

As the tone moves from white to black, the spot grows gradually. If you imagine the patterns tiled repeatedly across the page, you can see that the white sections left in the corners as the black spot grows themselves form white spots. Thus, we have a smooth transition. Here is the result of dithering these patterns for the camel and the gradient:

Prop this book up against a wall, retreat to the other side of the room (or perhaps half-way), and see which looks more camel-like. What about at normal reading distance? Such halftone patterns are used in most modern printing. Here are microscopic pictures of the camel as it is printed at the head of this chapter, at 20x and 400x magnification:

Figure A: Woodblock print. **Der Formschneider** (The Blockcutter), 1568.

is similar to a child cutting a potato to make a stamp – the wood is removed in areas where the artist does not want ink, and then ink is applied to the raised portions. Figure A shows a woodblock print **Der Formschneider** (The Blockcutter) from the *Parergon omnium liberalium artium mechanicarum* (Book of Trades), published in Germany in 1568. The detail achievable depends on the closeness of the grain of the wood, the properties of the ink and paper, and the permeability of the wood to ink. Attempts to produce areas which appear grey by using hatching or other patterns are likely to be either too coarse to be convincing, or they result in a solid inked area due to ink spreading across the surface of the block or along the fibres of the paper.

The term *intaglio* (in-tah-lee-o), from the Italian *intagliare* – to engrave – refers to a group of techniques in which a metal plate has material removed manually, is rubbed with viscous ink all over, has the excess removed carefully with a cloth, and is then pressed onto a dampened piece of paper. The ink remains only in the lines engraved in the plate, and is transferred to the paper by the pressure of the press. Thus, the removal of material is normally done in the opposite sense that in the woodblock process: we engrave where we want ink to be present, not where we want it to be absent.

* **Chapter 8: Grey Areas:** This chapter explores the challenges of reproducing grey tones using black ink on white paper. It discusses historical methods like woodblock printing and intaglio, and modern techniques like halftoning and dithering.
* **Chapter 9: Our Typeface:** This chapter examines the Palatino typeface, discussing its design, metrics, and how letters are placed together to form lines.
* **Chapter 10: Words to Paragraphs:** This chapter focuses on the process of laying out a page, combining lines of letters into paragraphs and fitting them onto a page. It discusses concepts like full justification, hyphenation, and widow/orphan prevention.

**"A First Encounter with Machine Learning"**

This book provides an introduction to machine learning, focusing on the intuitive understanding of concepts rather than just mathematical formulas. The excerpts cover topics such as:

* **Chapter 1: Data and Information:** This chapter introduces the concept of data and its importance in machine learning. It discusses different types of tasks in machine learning, including prediction, interpretation, and compression.
* **Chapter 1.2: Preprocessing the Data:** This chapter explains the importance of preprocessing data before applying machine learning algorithms. It discusses techniques like centering and scaling data to improve algorithm performance.
* **Chapter 3: Learning:** This chapter delves into the core concept of learning in machine learning. It discusses the importance of generalization, avoiding overfitting, and the role of inductive bias.
* **Chapter 5: Nearest Neighbors Classification:** This chapter introduces the k-nearest neighbors (kNN) algorithm, a simple and intuitive method for classifying data based on its proximity to other data points.
* **Chapter 6: The Naive Bayesian Classifier:** This chapter explains the Naive Bayes (NB) classifier, a probabilistic method for classifying data based on the assumption of independence between attributes.
* **Chapter 8: Support Vector Machines:** This chapter introduces Support Vector Machines (SVMs), a powerful method for classifying data by finding a hyperplane that maximizes the margin between different classes.
* **Chapter 9: Support Vector Regression:** This chapter explores Support Vector Regression (SVR), a method for finding a function that best fits the data while minimizing the error and penalizing deviations outside a specified "epsilon-tube."
* **Chapter 10: Kernel Ridge Regression:** This chapter discusses Kernel Ridge Regression, a method for performing regression in high-dimensional feature spaces using kernel functions.
* **Chapter 12: Kernel Principal Components Analysis:** This chapter introduces Kernel Principal Components Analysis (KPCA), a method for finding principal components in high-dimensional feature spaces using kernel functions.
* **Chapter 13: Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis:** This chapter explains Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis (FLDA), a method for finding a linear projection that maximizes the separation between different classes.
* **Chapter 14: Kernel Canonical Correlation Analysis:** This chapter introduces Kernel Canonical Correlation Analysis (KCCA), a method for finding projections of data from two different spaces that are maximally correlated.

The excerpts from both books provide a glimpse into the fascinating world of computer science and machine learning, highlighting the importance of understanding both the theoretical concepts and the practical applications of these fields.
