On-line handwriting text recognition (HTR) could be used as a more natural way of interaction in many interactive applications. However, current HTR technology is far from developing error-free systems and, consequently, its use in many applications is limited. Despite this, there are many scenarios, as in the correction of the errors of fully-automatic systems using HTR in a post-editing step,...

Interactive machine translation (IMT) is a method which uses human-computer interactions to improve the quality of MT. Traditional IMT methods employ a left-to-right order for the interactions, which is difficult to directly modify critical errors at the end of the sentence. In this paper, we propose an IMT framework in which the interaction is decomposed into two simple human actions: picking ...

State-of-the-art Machine Translation (MT) systems are still far from being perfect. An alternative is the so-called Interactive Machine Translation (IMT) framework, where the knowledge of a human translator is combined with the MT system. We present a statistical IMT system able to learn from user feedback by means of the application of online learning techniques. These techniques allow the MT ...

We apply phrase-based and neural models to a core task in interactive machine translation: suggesting how to complete a partial translation. For the phrase-based system, we demonstrate improvements in suggestion quality using novel objective functions, learning techniques, and inference algorithms tailored to this task. Our contributions include new tunable metrics, an improved beam search stra...

— Relaying is a promising enhancement to current radio technologies, which has been considered in IMT-Advanced candidate technologies such as 3GPP LTE-Advanced and IEEE 802.16m. Relay enhanced networks are expected to fulfill the demanding coverage and capacity requirements in a cost efficient way. Among various relaying architectures multi-hop moving relays can provide additional capacity for ...

This research constructs a design-oriented, Internet-mediated, and knowledge-sharing architecture. Therein XML files serve as the basic exchange and storage format of knowledge texts in the transaction-matching process. All sorts of product information needed by the users of the system platform, including various concepts and related features which involve such different fields as the design, p...

In depression, friendships may be compromised because depressed individuals respond more negatively to peers’ success. Increasing empathic support following another’s success (Freudenfreude) could improve relationships. The effectiveness of an Interpersonal Mutuality Training (IMT) protocol designed to increase expression of Freudenfreude was evaluated in undergraduates by comparing IMT with a ...
