In this paper, we propose a novel BTGforest-based alignment method. Based on a fast unsupervised initialization of parameters using variational IBM models, we synchronously parse parallel sentences top-down and align hierarchically under the constraint of BTG. Our twostep method can achieve the same run-time and comparable translation performance as fast align while it yields smaller phrase tab...

Airports are increasingly focused on implementing digital technologies at key stages of the airport journey to enhance passenger experience. However, passengers have different preferences. TwoStep Cluster Analysis is used reveal presence distinct segments according their The findings based a survey 6082 airports in Norway. Three identified: those that prefer traditional manual processes, automa...

Cadmium, inorganic arsenic and, potentially, dimethyl acid are carcinogens widely elevated in rice. Here it was identified that the food-safe and common cadmium chelator citric efficiently removed from intact grain via pre-soaking procedure, while also reducing species. A twostep stage developed whereby rice first incubated, at ambient temperature, 1 M for 12 h, then calcium carbonate another l...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the micro tensile bond strength of a self-etch adhesive system following 1 year storage in water. MATERIALS AND METHODS 10 sound human molar teeth were used for micro tensile bond strength test. Twostep self-etch dentin adhesive (Clearfil SE Bond®) was applied to the flat dentin surfaces according to the manufacturer's instructions. Composite b...

Recent research in frequent pattern mining (FPM) has shifted from obtaining the complete set of frequent patterns to generating only a representative (summary) subset of frequent patterns. Most of the existing approaches to this problem adopt a two-step solution; in the first step, they obtain all the frequent patterns, and in the second step, some form of clustering is used to obtain the summa...

Received Oct 6, 2017 Revised Dec 12, 2017 Accepted Jan 3, 2018 In this paper explore the scenario of wireless multicast with a single source and multiple relay that together convey consecutively refined sources to multiple receiver. Joint source-channel coding (JSCC) protocol is proposed aimed at mitigating the complexity and difficulty in signal synchronization in multicast taking end-to-end m...

We propose a framework for utilizing fixed ultrawideband ranging radio nodes to track a moving target radio node in an environment without guaranteed line of sight or accurate odometry. For the case where the fixed nodes’ locations are known, we derive a Bayesian room-level tracking method that takes advantage of the structural characteristics of the environment to ensure robustness to noise. F...

In this technical report, we propose a framework for utilizing fixed, ultra-wideband ranging radio nodes to track a moving target node through walls in a cluttered environment. We examine both the case where the locations of the fixed nodes are known as well as the case where they are unknown. For the case when the fixed node locations are known, we derive a Bayesian room-level tracking method ...
