We present DIRECTL+: an online discriminative sequence prediction model based on many-to-many alignments, which is further augmented by the incorporation of joint n-gram features. Experimental results show improvement over the results achieved by DIRECTL in 2009. We also explore a number of diverse resource-free and language-independent approaches to transliteration mining, which range from sim...

On-line analytical processing (OLAP) systems considerably improve data analysis and are finding wide-spread use. OLAP systems typically employ multidimensional data models to structure their data. This paper identifies 11 modeling requirements for multidimensional data models. These requirements are derived from an assessment of complex data found in real-world applications. A survey of 14 mult...

This paper introduces a formal speciication technique for mobile systems based on input/output relations on streams. We consider networks of components communicating asynchronously via unbounded directed channels. Mobility is achieved by allowing the components to communicate channel ports. We distinguish between many-to-many and two variants of point-to-point communication. The communication p...

Applications like e-newspaper or interactive online gaming have more than one resource and a large number of users. There is a many-to-many relationship between users and resources; each user can access multiple resources and multiple users can access each resource. The resources are independent and each resource needs to be encrypted by a different Resource Encryption Key (REK). Each REK needs...

This paper describes a novel approach to multi-document summarization, which explicitly addresses the problem of detecting, and retaining for the summary, multiple themes in document collections. We place equal emphasis on the processes of theme identification and theme presentation. For the former, we apply Iterative Residual Rescaling (IRR); for the latter, we argue for graphical display elem...

Torus-Connected Cycles (TCC) have been recently proposed as interconnection network for massively parallel systems. In order to increase system dependability and interprocessor communication performance, disjoint paths routing is critical. In this paper, we focus on the set-to-set disjoint paths routing problem which consists in select mutually node-disjoint paths between two sets of nodes. As ...

Systems for On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) considerably ease the process of analyzing business data and have become widely used in industry. OLAP systems primarily employ multidimensional data models to structure their data. However, current multidimensional data models fall short in their ability to model the complex data found in some real-world application domains. The paper presents n...

This paper proposes a voice conversion (VC) method based on sequence-to-sequence (S2S) learning framework, which enables simultaneous of the characteristics, pitch contour, and duration input speech. We previously proposed an S2S-based VC using transformer network architecture called (VTN). The original VTN was designed to learn only mapping speech feature sequences from one speaker another. He...
