Abstract The Query-Focused Text Summarization (QFTS) task aims at building systems that generate the summary of text document(s) based on given query. A key challenge in addressing this is lack large labeled data for training summarization model. In article, we address by exploring a series domain adaptation techniques. Given recent success pre-trained transformer models wide range natural lang...

The N200 amplitude of the motion-onset VEP evoked by a parafoveal grating of variable contrast (0.5-64%), constant speed (2 degrees/s), direction (horizontally rightward), and spatial frequency (2 cpd) was studied before and after adaptation to a stationary or drifting grating (1, 2, or 4 degrees/s rightward or leftward). These results are compared to those for the pattern-appearance VEP. Psych...

We study a realistic domain adaptation setting where one has access to an already existing “black-box” machine learning model. Indeed, in real-life scenarios, efficient pre-trained source predictive model is often available and required be preserved. The solution we propose this problem the asset of providing interpretable target transformation by seeking sparse ordered coordinate-wise feature ...

Speech-based command interfaces are becoming more and more common in cars. Applications include automatic dialog systems for hands-free phone calls as well as more advanced features such as navigation systems. However, interferences, such as speech from the codriver, can significantly hamper the performance of the speech recognition component, which is crucial for those applications. This issue...

For various reasons such as ideology of patronage, fear of censorial measures and specific cultural and literary plans, authors may present their original texts as translation, and sometimes translators manipulate the original text to the extent that it can not be considered as translation anymore. This research was aimed at investigating Bastin's adaptation as a kind of pseudo-translation. He ...
