When the community of translation researchers, trainers and practitioners is asked what they consider to be most relevant as regards technology research in near future, unanimous answer neural machine (NMT). The application AI language industries, industry particular, requires a reconfiguration both technologies themselves way which are being employed. In addition, developments different natura...

Over the past 20 years, websites have grown increasingly complex and interconnected. In 2016, only a negligible number of sites are dependency free, and over 90% of sites rely on external content. In this paper, we investigate the current state of web dependencies and explore two security challenges associated with the increasing reliance on external services: (1) the expanded attack surface as...

Current moving-object indexing concentrates on point-objects capable of continuous movement in one-, two-, and three-dimensional Euclidean spaces, and most approaches are based on well-known, conventional spatial indices. Approaches that aim at indexing the current and anticipated future positions of moving objects generally must contend with very large update loads because of the agility of th...

We give a full description of a state-of-the-art femtosecond transient spectrometer. The setup has been put together under full consideration of all technical and conceptual developments that became available in the last few years. Particular care was taken to avoid any unneeded components and modules. The spectrometer is operated at 1 kHz and based on a commercial Ti:sapphire amplifier. A nonc...

We live on an ever more-populous planet, pulsating with human-generated noises of every description. The most ubiquitous noisemaking structures we produce are trafficladen roads (Fig. 1), which already criss-cross much of the Earth and are projected to increase in length by some 25 million km by midcentury: enough to encircle the planet more than 600 times (1). For wildlife, the challenges of l...

We present the results of a numerical study of the fluid f , p and the gravitational w modes for increasingly relativistic nonrotating polytropes. The results for f and w-modes are in good agreement with previous data for uniform density stars, which supports an understanding of the nature of the gravitational wave modes based on the uniform density data. We show that the p-modes can become ext...

Three-quarters of leading global food crops rely on animal pollination. With both managed and wild pollinators declining, is there reason for concern? Researchers are beginning to pin down the possible long-term risks.
