          Even though they are not supposed to represent their country, EU Commissioners are politicians appointed by their respective national government and usually (nearly always) members of a political party.

            What would be the point? You can literally pick any of them (only counter-examples I found in the current commission are Julian King and Maroš Šefčovič). I think the other answer is somewhat misleading by implying it's merely possible and failing to mention it's usually (nearly always) the case and highlighting an example.

          Yes, they can. Just by picking a random name from this list, we found the following:




          Günther Hermann Oettinger (born 15 October 1953) is a German
          politician and a member of the Christian Democratic Union           (CDU).

                    How to label and detect the document text images

                    Image
                    1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica.
