    Machine Translation from Signed to Spoken Languages: State of the Art and Challenges

    No full text
    Automatic translation from signed to spoken languages is an interdisciplinary research domain, lying on the intersection of computer vision, machine translation and linguistics. Nevertheless, research in this domain is performed mostly by computer scientists in isolation. As the domain is becoming increasingly popular - the majority of scientific papers on the topic of sign language translation have been published in the past three years - we provide an overview of the state of the art as well as some required background in the different related disciplines. We give a high-level introduction to sign language linguistics and machine translation to illustrate the requirements of automatic sign language translation. We present a systematic literature review to illustrate the state of the art in the domain and then, harking back to the requirements, lay out several challenges for future research. We find that significant advances have been made on the shoulders of spoken language machine translation research. However, current approaches are often not linguistically motivated or are not adapted to the different input modality of sign languages. We explore challenges related to the representation of sign language data, the collection of datasets, the need for interdisciplinary research and requirements for moving beyond research, towards applications. Based on our findings, we advocate for interdisciplinary research and to base future research on linguistic analysis of sign languages. Furthermore, the inclusion of deaf and hearing end users of sign language translation applications in use case identification, data collection and evaluation is of the utmost importance in the creation of useful sign language translation models. We recommend iterative, human-in-the-loop, design and development of sign language translation models.Comment: This is the version of the article submitted to peer review to Universal Access in the Information Society.

    SOLPS-ITER modeling of divertor scenarios for EU-DEMO

    No full text
    We developed a first single null divertor scenario for EU-DEMO with the SOLPS-ITER code, including all charge states of D, He and Ar in the simulation and kinetic analysis of the neutral gas, but still leaving out drifts. Our results suggest that a partially detached divertor condition can indeed be obtained, with a corresponding peak heat flux on targets to ≈2 MW m-2, within the expected tolerable steady-state limits. The plasma re-attaches ≈30 cm (measured along the plate) from the low field side strike point deep in the SOL, with a consequent raise in the electron temperature up to ≈16 eV outside the detached region, which requires further analysis to assess a possible role of sputtering, especially considering W self-sputtering. The plasma we developed exhibits Z eff ≈ 1.9 in the core, and a pumping speed a few hundred's m3 s-1 to maintain steady-state; this points to the need of further studies to better characterize the He accumulation in the core region

    2D Fluid Modeling of the ASDEX Upgrade Far SOL Divertor Plasma Including the First Wall

    No full text
    We present an application to the full ASDEX upgrade edge plasma of a novel method for 2D fluid modeling, including for the first time a realistic representation of the First Wall. Two independent edge plasma codes are coupled to this purpose: B2 (with a detailed physics content but intrinsic geometrical limitations due to the 5-point computational scheme) for the inner region of the Scrape-Off Layer (the so-called near SOL) and ASPOEL (with simplified physics content but larger geometrical flexibility thanks to the Control Volume Finite Element CVFE scheme) for the outer region (the far SOL). The two codes share information across an interface magnetic surface, representing the outer boundary for B2 and the inner boundary for ASPOEL. An iterative procedure is developed, ensuring the continuity of profiles and fluxes at the interface. The radial profiles of density and temperature computed at the outboard mid-plane across the complete SOL, up to the first wall, are in good agreement with experimental data. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

    General practice and the New Zealand health reforms: lessons for Australia?

    No full text
    Although there was initial widespread support for the philosophy underlying New Zealand\u27s new Primary Health Care Strategy, there are concerns amongst general practitioners and their professional organisations relating to its implementation, although many GPs are feeling positive regarding the new Primary Health Organisations. Australia has much to learn from New Zealand\u27s latest health sector and primary health care reforms, according to Brian R. McAvoy and Gregor D. Coster

    Population inversion between atomic inner-shell vacancy states created by electron-impact ionization and Coster-Kronig decay

    No full text
    Population dynamics of atomic inner-shell vacancy states are analyzed for the possibility of inversion in relation to keV x-ray laser schemes. Transitions between pairs of inner-shell vacancy states are considered in which the states are pumped via electron-impact inner-shell ionization by a femtosecond high-energy electron pulse. For appropriate atomic systems, transient inversion is predicted due to rapid lower state depopulation via Coster-Kronig decay. [S1050-2947(99)50206-0].open1132sciescopu

    MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations

    Information overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
