It is important to evaluate Spoken Dialogue Translation Systems, but as we show by analyzing evaluation methods in the Verbmobil, C-STAR II, and the Nespole! projects, the current state of the art is not fully satisfactory. Subjective methods are too costly, and objective methods, although cheaper, don’t give good indications about usability. We propose some ideas to improve that situation.

The concept of county region economy and its informationization were limited. The characteristics and functions of county region economy informationization were pointed out. On the basis of analyzing the present situation and the existent problems, the developmental strategy of county region economy informationization in China were put forward from guiding ideology, basic principles, system fra...

External Cause of Injuries (ECI) represent a serious health problem, however diagnosis using nonspecific codes may underestimate their severity. This situation is common in many hospitals, affecting the resources allocation and health priorities. Analyzing data from the emergency department of a hospital, four predictive models were implemented: Text-Logistic regression (TF-IDF), logistic regre...

In this paper, we propose a semantic approach for monitoring information published on social networks about a specific event. In the era of Big Data, when an emergency occurs information posted on social networks becomes more and more helpful for emergency operators. As direct witnesses of the situation, people share photos, videos or text messages about events that call their attention. In the...

This paper mainly studied how to improve security system by analyzing the current situation and defects of existing encryption security systems. Based on existing studies, optimized GPRS wireless security system (GPRS-based WSS) based on AES was designed by using principles of designing a security system and basic theories in Cryptography. This new system can increase its query efficiency, accu...

Triple C' is a new visual interactive system which supports the exploration of multicriteria decisions. The novelty of this system consists in an overall utilization of Visual Interaction for supporting ail the information processing activities related to the task of incrementally defining and analyzing a multicriteria decision situation. Departing from traditional approaches in the MCDM field,...

There are some problems with estimating the time required for the manufacturing process of products, especially when there is a variable serving time, like control stage. These problems will cause overestimation of process time. Layout constraints, reworking constraints and inflexible product schedule in multi product lines need a precise planning to reduce volume in particular situation of lin...

Our technologies for collecting, storing, and disseminating vast amounts of information have gotten ahead of our technologies for collating and analyzing it, and that situation has posed a serious challenge for human language technology. As a consequence, natural language processing has been moving rapidly towards large-scale systems addressed to real tasks. Demos that won't scale up are no lon...
