We are presenting a hybrid MT approach in the WMT2016 Shared Translation Task for the IT-Domain. Our work consists of several translation components based on rule-based and statistical approaches that feed into an informed selection mechanism. Additions to last year’s submission include a WSD component, a syntactically-enhanced component and several improvements to the rule-based component, rel...

The present paper reports on the DFKI entry to the Blizzard challenge 2008. The main difference of our system compared to last year is a new join model inspired by last year’s iFlytek paper; the effect seems small, but measurable in the sense that it leads to the selection of longer chunks of consecutive units. In interpreting the results of the listening test, we correlate the ratings to vario...

In a masterfully written (in german language) thirty pages long paper (and published in 1828 in Crelle’s Journal ) A. F. Möbius studied some properties of the polynomial equations for the circumradius of arbitrary cyclic polygons (convex and nonconvex) and produced a polynomial of degree δn = n2 ( n−1 b(n−1)/2c )− 2n−2 that relates the square of a circumradius (r) of a cyclic polygon to the squ...

Interaction possibilities are perceived as being diverse and self-evident, especially caused by rapid technology developments. The availability of interaction possibilities is not consciously experienced as something special but it rather appears as an unconscious perception. The process of interaction via touch gestures is nowadays a standard in many technologies. Additional technologies, such...

Young children (less than 11 years old) are a particular risk group for dog bites. Dog bites commonly occur from the family pet. Alsatian or alsatian mixes are the biggest group in the study causing dog bites. Alsations are a popular breed. By comparison Retrievers (Labrador and Golden), also a popular breed, caused few bites.
