The current state-of-the-art in statistical machine translation (SMT) suffers from issues of sparsity and inadequate modeling power when translating into morphologically rich languages. We model both inflection and word-formation for the task of translating into German. We translate from English words to an underspecified German representation and then use linearchain CRFs to predict the fully ...

Based on the reported data until 18 March 2015 and numerical fitting via a simple formula of cumulative case number, we provide real-time estimation on basic reproduction number, inflection point, peak time and final outbreak size of ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa. From our simulation, we conclude that the first wave has passed its inflection point and predict that a second epidemic wave...

We give a FST description of nominal and finite verb morphology of Azarbaijani Turkish. We use a hybrid approach where nominal inflection is expressed as a slot-based paradigm and major parts of verb inflection are expressed as optional paths on the FST. We collapse adjective and noun categories in a single nominal category as they behave similarly as far as their paradigms are concerned. Thus,...

Morphological complexity • Data sparsity due to uncovered inflected forms • Difficulty to produce the correct target-side inflection based on available information COMBINING APPROACHES • Pre-processing – syntactic level Source-side reordering (Gojun and Fraser, 2012) • At decoding time – lexical level Discriminative classifier to score translation rules using source-side context (Tamchyna et al...

This paper describes the Stockholm University/University of Groningen (SURUG) system for the SIGMORPHON 2017 shared task on morphological inflection. Our system is based on an attentional sequence-to-sequence neural network model using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) cells, with joint training of morphological inflection and the inverse transformation, i.e. lemmatization and morphological analysi...

early body shape changes of beluga sturgeon were studied using landmark-based geometric morphometric approach to recognize its allometric growth pattern. sampling was done from hatching up to 50 days post hatching (dph). left side of specimens were photographed using digital camera and nine landmark points were digitized on two-dimensional images. total length (ti) was measured using the softwa...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate a new technique for pressure-volume curve tracing. DESIGN Prospective experimental study. SETTING Animal research laboratory. SUBJECTS Six anesthetized rats. INTERVENTIONS Two pressure-volume curves were obtained by means of the super-syringe method (gold standard) and the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) method. For the CPAP method, the ventilator was sw...
