A Robust Transformation-Based Learning Approach Using Ripple Down Rules for Part-of-Speech Tagging
In this paper, we propose a new approach to construct a system of
transformation rules for the Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging task. Our approach is
based on an incremental knowledge acquisition method where rules are stored in
an exception structure and new rules are only added to correct the errors of
existing rules; thus allowing systematic control of the interaction between the
rules. Experimental results on 13 languages show that our approach is fast in
terms of training time and tagging speed. Furthermore, our approach obtains
very competitive accuracy in comparison to state-of-the-art POS and
morphological taggers.Comment: Version 1: 13 pages. Version 2: Submitted to AI Communications - the

Phonological and contextual factors affecting voice quality in Dinka vowels
Dinka language is Nilotic language with rich and complex suprasegmental and morphological system that has not been investigated fully yet. Furthermore, voice quality is a linguistic notion that is also understudied in its phonological and phonetic sense. This paper is concerned, primarily, with investigating the relationship between breathy voice with Dinka vowels and, secondarily, with whether there is an actual association between certain voice qualities and certain tonal patterns in Dinka language.
In order for this investigation to take place a large volume of Dinka utterances dataset is employed. Firstly, the data was quantified and, secondly, some appropriate scripts were utilized for the calculation and extraction of the desired values. The statistical analyses of the findings have showed that there are some strong correlations between certain voice qualities and tones as well as that some phonetic properties are more reliable as acoustic correlates of breathiness than others. In the end, this paper establishes a new understanding of the aforementioned goals and to some extend assesses the applicability of the scripts to other similar studies
Proceedings of the 1st Doctoral Consortium at the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (DC-ECAI 2020)
1st Doctoral Consortium at the European Conference on
Artificial Intelligence (DC-ECAI 2020), 29-30 August, 2020
Santiago de Compostela, SpainThe DC-ECAI 2020 provides a unique opportunity for PhD students, who are close to finishing their doctorate research, to interact with experienced researchers in the field. Senior members of the community are assigned as mentors for each group of students based on the student’s research or similarity of research interests. The DC-ECAI 2020, which is held virtually this year, allows students from all over the world to present their research and discuss their ongoing research and career plans with their mentor, to do networking with other participants, and to receive training and mentoring about career planning and career option
Mastering Uncertainty in Mechanical Engineering
This open access book reports on innovative methods, technologies and strategies for mastering uncertainty in technical systems. Despite the fact that current research on uncertainty is mainly focusing on uncertainty quantification and analysis, this book gives emphasis to innovative ways to master uncertainty in engineering design, production and product usage alike. It gathers authoritative contributions by more than 30 scientists reporting on years of research in the areas of engineering, applied mathematics and law, thus offering a timely, comprehensive and multidisciplinary account of theories and methods for quantifying data, model and structural uncertainty, and of fundamental strategies for mastering uncertainty. It covers key concepts such as robustness, flexibility and resilience in detail. All the described methods, technologies and strategies have been validated with the help of three technical systems, i.e. the Modular Active Spring-Damper System, the Active Air Spring and the 3D Servo Press, which have been in turn developed and tested during more than ten years of cooperative research. Overall, this book offers a timely, practice-oriented reference guide to graduate students, researchers and professionals dealing with uncertainty in the broad field of mechanical engineering
