The paper focuses on the urgency of the implementation of cloud technologies, which are a necessary condition for the development of enterprise management systems, give rise to a complex of insufficiently studied phenomena and processes and determine the need to find new tools in making and implementing reasonable management decisions. In the process of research, the sequence of construction an...

http://iac.dtic.mil/iatac Configuration complexity imposes a heavy burden on both regular users and experienced administrators. This complexity dramatically reduces overall network assurability. For example, a report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies states that “inappropriate or incorrect security configurations were responsible for 80 percent of United States Air Force v...

This paper introduces a spelling correction system which integrates seamlessly with morphological analysis using a multi-tape formalism. Handling of various Semitic error problems is illustrated, with reference to Arabic and Syriac examples. The model handles errors vocalisation, diacritics, phonetic syncopation and morphographemic idiosyncrasies, in addition to Damerau errors. A complementary ...

This paper deals with the improved forecasts for the values of the study variable in linear regression models utilizing the minimum risk approach. It considers the simultaneous forecasting of actual and average values of the study variable and reports the performance properties of the classical unbiased forecasts and two biased forecasts with respect to the criteria of the bias vector,mean squa...

Essay stance classification, the task of determining how much an essay’s author agrees with a given proposition, is an important yet under-investigated subtask in understanding an argumentative essay’s overall content. We introduce a new corpus of argumentative student essays annotated with stance information and propose a computational model for automatically predicting essay stance. In an eva...

We investigate use of large amounts, over 1500 hours, of untranscribed data recorded from a deployed conversational system to improve the acoustic and language models. The system that we considered allows users to perform transactions on their retirement accounts. Using all the untranscribed data we get over 19% relative improvement in word error rate over a baseline system. In contrast, a syst...

We present a domain-independent technique for assessing learners’ constructed responses. The system exceeds the accuracy of the majority class baseline by 15.4% and a lexical baseline by 5.9%. The emphasis of this paper is to provide an error analysis of performance, describing the types of errors committed, their frequency, and some issues in their resolution.

Negotiating with suppliers and with customers is a key part of supply chain management. However, with recent technological advances, the mechanisms available to carry out such activities have become increasingly sophisticated, and the environment in which these activities take place has become highly dynamic. As a consequence, the overall planning of these complex trades, and the coordination o...
