What is the opposite of debt?












1












$begingroup$


In trade, the opposite of trade deficit is trade surplus. In other words, the negative deficit is called surplus.



And then, what is the term for negative debt?



Say for example Bank A owes 5 million dollars to Bank B.



And then Bank A has a debt of 5 million dollars.
And bank B has a negative debt of 5 million dollars.



I have the same question about negative liabilities, I'm not sure if I have to ask a separate question for that.

As debt is the accumulation of past deficits, so wealth is the accumulation of past surpluses.

    If a company's initial capital is $1,000 and it makes a loss of $100 a year for 5 years then its equity has reduced to $500. But there is no debt here, just a poor return to investors.

Tabula Rosettana

Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. 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.

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...
