Sim-T: Simplify the Transformer Network by Multiplexing Technique for Speech Recognition
Get PDFIn recent years, a great deal of attention has been paid to the Transformer
network for speech recognition tasks due to its excellent model performance.
However, the Transformer network always involves heavy computation and large
number of parameters, causing serious deployment problems in devices with
limited computation sources or storage memory. In this paper, a new lightweight
model called Sim-T has been proposed to expand the generality of the
Transformer model. Under the help of the newly developed multiplexing
technique, the Sim-T can efficiently compress the model with negligible
sacrifice on its performance. To be more precise, the proposed technique
includes two parts, that are, module weight multiplexing and attention score
multiplexing. Moreover, a novel decoder structure has been proposed to
facilitate the attention score multiplexing. Extensive experiments have been
conducted to validate the effectiveness of Sim-T. In Aishell-1 dataset, when
the proposed Sim-T is 48% parameter less than the baseline Transformer, 0.4%
CER improvement can be obtained. Alternatively, 69% parameter reduction can be
achieved if the Sim-T gives the same performance as the baseline Transformer.
With regard to the HKUST and WSJ eval92 datasets, CER and WER will be improved
by 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, when parameters in Sim-T are 40% less than the
baseline Transformer
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Safety Integrated Model-training (SIM-t) and its evaluation: A safety training proposal for mechanical companies
No full textIn the EU-28, the number of occupational accidents is still too high, with serious social and economic consequences. We have devised an intervention called Safety Integrated Model-training (SIM-t) with the aim of unifying the most effective training methods for adults in a single proposal. SIM-t involves the use of audiovisual materials (ad hoc products for each company), a participatory approach, and regular and lasting reinforcement in daily practice. The training intervention is divided into several sessions over several weeks. For its evaluation, we conducted a longitudinal study (September 2017–April 2018), with the participation of workers (n = 185) from mechanical companies in northern Italy. Measures relating to knowledge, attitudes, behaviours, perception of the health, and safety climate were collected at baseline and in subsequent follow-ups. Overall, the participants’ average safety performance at the end of the training was significantly better than the initial level. In summary, the SIM-t and its evaluation methodology are an integrated intervention proposal providing companies with a safety training protocol and a test of its effectiveness. The contents that emerged from the study suggest extending this training intervention and the evaluation of its effectiveness to different contexts
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
