We re-assess the impact brought by a set of widely-used SMT models and techniques by means of human evaluation. These include different types of development sets (crowdsourced vs translated professionally), reordering, operation sequence and bilingual neural language models as well as common approaches to data selection and combination. In some cases our results corroborate previous findings fo...

LINKÖPING Technical reports from the Automatic Control group in Linkk oping are available as UNIX-compressed Postscript les by anonymous ftp at the address ftp.control.isy.liu.se. Abstract We consider the problem of moving the system state between different equilibrium points. For systems whose linearizations are exponentially stable along a curve connecting the given points we show that the tr...

State-of-the-art, uni-processor linear matrix equation solvers for automatic control computations are investigated and compared for various problem sizes. Generalpurpose SLICOT solvers are the most efficient ones for small-size problems, but they cannot compete for larger problems with specialized solvers designed for certain problem classes.

In this brief note we provide a new analysis of the transient behavior of the clear-a-fraction policy of Perkins and Kumar. In addition, we show that a new “clear-average-oldest-buffer” policy and a “random part selection” policy (of which “first-come-first-served” is a special case) are stable. Finally, we introduce a stable and efficient “stream modifier” that can be used to obtain network le...

It is well known that automatic groups can be characterized using geometric properties of their Cayley graphs. Along the same line of thought, we provide a geometric characterization of automatic monoids. This involves working with a slightly strengthened definition of an automatic monoid which is still a proper generalization of the concept of an automatic group. The two definitions coincide i...

Robust Parameter Design (RPD) has been used as the primary technique to reduce process and product variability. The offline choice of appropriate control factor settings allows RPD to ensure that noise factors have a minimum influence on responses. In this article, an alternative methodology of automatic process control is proposed, that is, controllable factors are adjusted online based on inp...

The rapid growth of the online information services causes the problem of information explosion. Automatic text summarization techniques are essential for dealing with this problem. There are different approaches to text summarization and different systems have used one or a combination of them. Considering the wide variety of summarization techniques there should be an evaluation mechanism to ...
