Revising is an evaluating and editing process that is an essential part of text production. Is text revising facilitated by the use of word processors? After examining the related research, it is difficult to conclude with certainty that the use of word processors is always effective in improving writers' revising skills, or that their use necessarily leads to the production of higher quality t...

Text-guided image editing models have shown remarkable results. However, there remain two problems. First, they employ fixed manipulation modules for various requirements (e.g., color changing, texture content adding and removing), which results in over-editing or insufficient editing. Second, do not clearly distinguish between text-required text-irrelevant parts, leads to inaccurate To solve t...

This article describes a machine translation system based on an automatic post-editing strategy: initially translate the input text into the target-language using a rule-based MT system, then automatically post-edit the output using a statistical phrase-based system. An implementation of this approach based on the SYSTRAN and PORTAGE MT systems was used in the shared task of the Second Workshop...

Quality Estimation (QE) is the task of predicting the quality of the output of Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications without relying on human references. This is a very appealing method for language output applications, i.e. applications that take as input a text and produce a different text as output, for example, Machine Translation, Text Summarisation and Text Simplification. For th...

This study set out to investigate the effect of peer- editing as a metacognitive strategy on the development of writing. It was hypothesized that peer-editing could be used to raise grammatical and compositional awareness of the learners. Forty pre-intermediate sophomores at Islamic Azad University-Tabriz Branch participated in the study, taking the course Writing I. To warrant the initial homo...

ÐImage editing systems are essentially pixel-based. In this paper, we propose a novel method for image editing in which the primitive working unit is not a pixel but an edge. The feasibility of this proposal is suggested by recent work showing that a gray-scale image can be accurately represented by its edge map if a suitable edge model and scale selection method are employed [1]. In particular...

RNA editing is a ubiquitous phenomenon affecting most mitochondrial and chloroplast, and some nuclear genomes, where mutations in genomic DNA are "corrected" in the mRNA during transcriptional processing. Most editing in plants and animals corrects T-to-C substitutions at nonsynonymous first or second base positions, and the overall effect is an mRNA and protein sequence that differs from that ...

Recent research has witnessed advances in facial image editing tasks including face swapping and reenactment. However, these methods are confined to dealing with one specific task at a time. In addition, for video editing, previous either simply apply transformations frame by or utilize multiple frames concatenated iterative fashion, which leads noticeable visual flickers. this paper, we propos...
