We present an approach to performing automated evaluations of pipeline architectures in natural language dialogue systems. Our approach addresses some of the difficulties that arise in such automated evaluations, including the lack of consensus among human annotators about the correct outputs within the processing pipeline, the availability of multiple acceptable system responses to some user u...

Much interest has recently been given to making dialogue systems more natural by implementing more flexible software solutions, such as parallel and incremental processing. In the How-Was-Your-Day prototype, parallel processing paths provide complementary information and the parallel processing loops enable the system to respond to user activity in a more flexible manner than traditional pipeli...

Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) is the main component for Maritime Security and Defence. Because of that, TNI AL needs Indonesian Warship (KRI) to covered Maritime area. The main requirement from KRI is fulfilled by demand. To pock of fuel demand from KRI at Naval Base, it needs a new pipeline of fuel distribution network system. The pipeline network system used for maximum lifetime must be protected ...

The combination of hardware acceleration and flexibility make FPGAs important to image processing applications. There is also a need for efficient, flexible hardware/software codesign environments that can balance the benefits and costs of using FPGAs. Image processing applications often consist of a pipeline of components where each component applies a different processing algorithm. Component...

In this paper, an intelligent ultrasonic inspection device for offshore pipeline inspection and a corrosion assessment of offshore pipeline software are developed to inspect the damage state of Chinese pipelines. The main function of the inspection system is ultrasonic signal pre-processing, data acquisition, de-noising and data compression in real time. The system includes a micro-computer, tr...

The OPUS pipeline processing environment at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) supports the automated conversion of gigabits of raw telemetry from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to useful science and engineering products each day. OPUS provides a flexible, fully concurrent, distributed control system in which a set of processes operate. The applications that form the HST data proce...
