We propose a phrase-based context-dependent joint probability model for Named Entity (NE) translation. Our proposed model consists of a lexical mapping model and a permutation model. Target phrases are generated by the context-dependent lexical mapping model, and word reordering is performed by the permutation model at the phrase level. We also present a twostep search to decode the best result...

Background and Aim: Brain mapping is a study of the anatomy and function of the CNS (central nervous system). Brain mapping has many techniques and these techniques are permanently changing and updating. From the beginning, brain mapping was invasive and for brain mapping, electrical stimulation of the exposed brain was needed. However, nowadays brain mapping does not require electrical stimula...

In this paper we prove the existence of weak periodic solutions for a nonlinear parabolic equations with the Robin periodic boundary condition. The aim will be achieved by reformulating the problem in abstract form and applying some results of the maximal monotone mapping theory joint with the Schauder fixed point theorem.

A new crossing detector is presented which also permits orientation estimation of the underlying structures. The method relies on well established tools such as the structure tensor, the double angle mapping and descriptors for second order variations. The performance of our joint crossing detector and multi-orientation estimator is relatively independent of the angular separation of the underl...

Sorghum varieties suitable for grain production at temperate latitudes show dwarfism and photoperiod insensitivity, both of which are controlled by a small number of loci with large effects. We studied the genetic control of plant height and flowering time in five sorghum families (A-E), each derived from a cross between a tropical line and a partially isogenic line carrying introgressions deri...

In this paper, a joint transmitter and receiver design for pattern division multiple access (PDMA) is proposed. At the transmitter, pattern mapping utilizes power allocation to improve the overall sum rate, and beam allocation to enhance the access connectivity. At the receiver, hybrid detection utilizes a spatial filter to suppress the interbeam interference caused by beam domain multiplexing,...

A novel low-cost impedance control structure is proposed for monitoring the contact force between end-effector and environment without installing an expensive force/torque sensor. Theoretically, the end-effector contact force can be estimated from the superposition of each joint control torque. There have a nonlinear matrix mapping function between each joint motor control input and end-effecto...

This work experimentally validates the feasibility of a tactile exploration approach to map harsh environments such as deep sea oil well sites. The recent collapse of the offshore oil-­drilling platform Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico resulted in the largest marine accidental disaster in history. Initial attempts to control the spill failed be-­ cause of the very challenging environment...

The use of digital image analysis in architectural photogrammetry allows the automation of monotonous low-level tasks and makes the interpretation of facades much easier. Different segmentation methods for a computer assisted mapping of joint contours are discussed. Exemplary the application of the watershed transform is described and a combined watershedmethod will be presented, which is well ...

There is a very rich variety of systems of autonomous agents, be it software or robotic agents. In particular, multi-agent systems can include agents that may be part of a team and need to coordinate their actions during their distributed task execution. This coordination requires an agent to observe, i.e., to monitor, the other agents in order to detect a possible coordination failure of the t...
