We present Marmot — a new toolkit for quality estimation (QE) of machine translation output. Marmot contains utilities targeted at quality estimation at the word and phrase level. However, due to its flexibility and modularity, it can also be extended to work at the sentence level. In addition, it can be used as a framework for extracting features and learning models for many common natural lan...

Against a background of recent progress in developmental neuroscience, some of which has been taken as challenging to the modularity hypothesis of Fodor (1983), this article contrasts two competing conceptions of modularity: sui generis modularity, according to which modules are treated as independent neurocognitive entities that owe nothing to one another, and descent-with-modiWcation modulari...

The i* framework is a very popular approach in the Requirements Engineering community. However, crosscutting concerns are not handled explicitly in i*, compromising the modularity and consequently the complexity and evolution of such models. To deal with the complexity of i* models, the use of structuring mechanisms has been investigated. Moreover, the i* framework has been extended to incorpor...

In this paper, we proposed a link density clustering method for overlapping community detection based on density peaks. We firstly use an extended cosine link distance metric to reflect the relationship of links. Then we introduce a clustering algorithm with fast search for solving the link clustering problem by density peaks with box plot strategy to determine the cluster centres automatically...

Distributed systems consist of interconnected, lower-dimensional subsystems. For such systems, distributed analysis and design present several advantages, such as modularity, easier analysis and design, and reduced computational complexity. A special case of distributed systems is when the subsystems are connected in a string. Applications include distributed process control, traffic and commun...

Since traditional mobile recommendation systems have difficulty in acquiring complete and accurate user information in mobile networks, the accuracy of recommendation is not high. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a novel mobile recommendation algorithm based on link community detection (MRLD). MRLD executes link label diffusion algorithm and maximal extended modularity (EQ) o...

Biology is a domain of tension: on the one hand biology is concerned with transformation and the generation of diversity; on the other hand, biology is concerned with the persistence of improbable structural regularitites. Robustness, as a research program, aims to uncover those evolved mechanisms promoting the persistence of regularities. Here I organize mechanisms of robustness into a phenome...

Distributed systems consist of interconnected, lower-dimensional subsystems. For such systems, distributed analysis and design present several advantages, such as modularity, easier analysis, and reduced computational complexity. Applications include distributed process control, traffic and communication networks, irrigation systems, hydropower valleys, etc. A special case of distributed system...
