Rigotrio At Semeval-2017 Task 9: Combining Machine Learning And Grammar Engineering For Amr Parsing And Generation
2017
By addressing both text-to-AMR parsing and AMR-to-text generation, SemEval-2017 Task 9 established AMR as a powerful semantic interlingua. We strengthen the interlingual aspect of AMR by applying the multilingual Grammatical Framework (GF) for AMR-to-text generation. Our current rule-based GF approach completely covered only 12.3% of the test AMRs, therefore we combined it with state-of-the-art JAMR Generator to see if the combination increases or decreases the overall performance. The combined system achieved the automatic BLEU score of 18.82 and the human Trueskill score of 107.2, to be compared to the plain JAMR Generator results. As for AMR parsing, we added NER extensions to our SemEva…
AnyDSL: a partial evaluation framework for programming high-performance libraries
2023
This paper advocates programming high-performance code using partial evaluation. We present a clean-slate programming system with a simple, annotation-based, online partial evaluator that operates on a CPS-style intermediate representation. Our system exposes code generation for accelerators (vectorization/parallelization for CPUs and GPUs) via compiler-known higher-order functions that can be subjected to partial evaluation. This way, generic implementations can be instantiated with target-specific code at compile time. In our experimental evaluation we present three extensive case studies from image processing, ray tracing, and genome sequence alignment. We demonstrate that using partial …
New development opportunities for the craft brewing segment: the case study of a micro-malthouse
2017
In Italy in the past few years, the number of small breweries penetrating the craft beer sector has grown exponentially. Craft producers intend to give a strong added value and a local character to their production in different ways. One of these is the use of malt derived from small batches of local cereals and pseudo cereals. The aim of this study is the assessment of investment profitability, through a cost-benefit analysis (CBA), for a compact and a modular micro-malting plant in Sicily (Southern Italy). The CBA for a micro-malthouse was carried out considering both installation and operating costs. Net present value (NPV), discounted benefit-cost ratio (DBCR) and internal rate of retur…
Succeeding in the French market:Recommendations for small businesses
2011
PurposeThe purpose of this research is make managerial recommendations for firms operating or planning to operate in the French market.Design/methodology/approachThis study reports findings from an in‐depth case study covering eight Finnish SMEs operating in the French market. To facilitate the understanding of the recommendations, the findings are discussed through typical features of the French culture.FindingsThe findings report the best practices of eight Finnish SMEs operating in France.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the case study method made it possible to acquire detailed knowledge about the firms' internationalization, the findings can be generalized only to some extent.…
The role of trust in enhancing Internet use in a high-risk society
2015
Purpose – This paper aims to determine the key trust antecedents that influence Internet users’ trust level toward Internet service providers (ISPs) in a high-risk society. It also investigates trust-building process, major causes of its violation, their potential implications and restoration. Design/methodology/approach – A mixed-method approach was used in collecting data in Kenya in 2014 by using questionnaire and interview techniques. The former was administered to 250 (with 81 per cent response rate) randomly selected Internet users at Kenyatta University while the latter focused on key decision-makers from four randomly selected ISPs in Nairobi. Findings – The results show that Inter…
Características y difusión de las revistas científico-técnicas españolas de ciencias de la actividad física y el deporte
2007
El objetivo de este artículo es presentar la situación actual de las revistas españolas de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte (CCAFD). Para ello se actualiza el inventario de publicaciones periódicas vigentes y se analizan varias de sus características editoriales básicas como la antigüedad, periodicidad, lugar de edición, institución editora, tipo de soporte y tipo de formato editorial. También se estudia la circulación de dichas publicaciones en las bases de datos nacionales e internacionales selectivas y la difusión que tienen por internet a través de la accesibilidad, el contenido y los servicios añadidos que ofrecen. Se concluye que las CCAFD es un campo joven y poco consolid…
AI-IoT Platform for Blind Estimation of Room Acoustic Parameters Based on Deep Neural Networks
2023
Room acoustical parameters have been widely used to describe sound perception in indoor environments, such as concert halls, conference rooms, etc. Many of them have been standardized and often have a high computational demand. With the increasing presence of deep learning approaches in automatic monitoring systems, wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs) offer great potential to facilitate the estimation of such parameters. In this scenario, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) offer significant reductions in the computational requirements for in-node parameter predictions, enabling the so-called Artificial Intelligence-Internet of Things (AI-IoT). In this paper, we describe the design a…
Modellierung überbetrieblicher behandlungsprozesse durch objekt-petrinetze
2005
Clinical processes are often performed by the cooperation of different healthcare organization. But even that for modeling of such processes the object Petri nets can be used, they often lack of intuitive comprehensibility. This contribution presents an interpretation of object Petri nets which assigns abstract net elements to real objects of the healthcare domain. By doing this it helps domain user to apply this Petri net type to the modeling of clinical processes. The application of this approach is demonstrated.
Classification of Actual Sensor Network Deployments in Research Studies from 2013 to 2017
2020
Technologies, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Internet of Things (IoT), have captured the imagination of researchers, businesses, and general public, due to breakthroughs in embedded system development, sensing technologies, and ubiquitous connectivity in recent years. That resulted in the emergence of an enormous, difficult-to-navigate body of work related to WSN and IoT. In an ongoing research effort to highlight trends and developments in these technologies and to see whether they are actually deployed rather than subjects of theoretical research with presumed potential use cases, we gathered and codified a dataset of scientific publications from a five-year period from 2013 t…
The Adoption of The Internet of Things by Young Consumers – an Empirical Investigation
2017
On the background of theoretical considerations and literature review, this article presents the results of the preliminary study of young consumers about their adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) - treated as the emerging technology, creating a new quality of information technology usage, despite perceived costs and privacy concerns. The data for the analysis came from purpose sample of 223 young consumers from Eastern Poland via CAWI questionnaire. The primary goal of the research was to explore the adoption of IoT by young consumers in Poland regarding the level of adoption and factors explaining this phenomenon. The main analysis used univariate analysis of variance (UNIANOVA) and …
