Neural Machine Translation by Generating Multiple Linguistic Factors
Factored neural machine translation (FNMT) is founded on the idea of using
the morphological and grammatical decomposition of the words (factors) at the
output side of the neural network. This architecture addresses two well-known
problems occurring in MT, namely the size of target language vocabulary and the
number of unknown tokens produced in the translation. FNMT system is designed
to manage larger vocabulary and reduce the training time (for systems with
equivalent target language vocabulary size). Moreover, we can produce
grammatically correct words that are not part of the vocabulary. FNMT model is
evaluated on IWSLT'15 English to French task and compared to the baseline
word-based and BPE-based NMT systems. Promising qualitative and quantitative
results (in terms of BLEU and METEOR) are reported.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figues, SLSP conferenc
Assessment of carotenoid production by Dunaliella salina in different culture systems and operation regimes
The effect of operation regime and culture system on carotenoid productivity by the halotolerant alga Dunaliella salina has been analyzed. Operation strategies tested included batch and semi continuous regime, as well as a two-stage approach run simultaneously in both, open tanks and closed reactor. The best results were obtained with the closed tubular photobioreactor. The highest carotenoid production (328.8 mg carotenoid l−1 culture per month) was achieved with this culture system operated following the two-stage strategy. Also, closed tubular photobioreactor provided the highest carotenoid contents (10% of dry weight) in Dunaliella biomass and β-carotene abundance (90% of total carotenoids) as well as the highest 9-cis to all-trans β-carotene isomer ratio (1.5 at sunrise).Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología IFD 1997-1780IFAPA CO3-125Plan Andaluz de Investigación CVI13
Compliance with Social Norms as an Evolutionary Stable Equilibrium
Producción CientíficaThis paper studies a two-population evolutionary game in a new setting
in between a symmetric and an asymmetric evolutionary model. It distinguishes two
types of agents: Sanchos, whose payoffs are defined by a prisoner’s dilemma game,
and Quixotes, whose payoffs are defined by a snowdrift game. Considering an imita-
tive revision protocol, a revising agent is paired with someone from his own popula-
tion or the other population. When matched, they observe payoffs, but not identities.
Thus, agents in one population interact and imitate agents from their own population
and from the other population. In this setting we prove that a unique mixed-strategy
asymptotically stable fixed point of the evolutionary dynamics exists. Taking as an
example the compliance with social norms, and depending on the parameters, two
type of equilibrium are possible, one with full compliance among Quixotes and par-
tial compliance among Sanchos, or another with partial compliance among Quixotes
and defection among Sanchos. In the former type, Sanchos comply above their Nash
equilibrium (as they imitate compliant Quixotes). In the latter type, Quixotes comply
below their Nash equilibrium (as they imitate defecting Sanchos).This study was funded by the Spanish Government (projects ECO2014- 52343-P and ECO2017-82227-P), as well as financial aid from Junta de Castilla y León (projects VA024P17 and VA105G18), co-financed by FEDER funds
The Right to Privacy and the Right to Intellectual Property in Internet: The Promusicae Case, a Significant Judgement of the European Court of Justice
The difficult conciliation between the protection of the right to respect for private life, specially the confidentiality of personal data, and the rights to protection of copyright and to an effective remedy is the key issue decided by the Judgment of the Court of Justice in Case C-275/06, Promusicae. In order to safeguard other persons’ rights, the Court approves of limits to the privacy and these limits are sanctioned to damage the confidentiality of personal data, generated by the traffic in the electronic communications. In our opinion, in spite of the Court’s praiseworthy efforts to balancing the rights concerned, the judgement creates an instrument that entails a danger for freedom
La representación verbal y visual del «yo»: Identidad y autorreflexividad en la memoria gráfica Blankets de Craig Thompson
The aim of this article is to identify some of the key conventions and
narrative patterns that graphic memoirists may use in order to articulate their own
sense of identity, and deal with issues of truth, ethics, and representation through
visual and verbal combinations. Craig Thompson’s Blankets (2003) serves as a
poignant example of the semiotic resources that are relevant to an analysis of
the autobiographical comics genre: the inscription of subjectivity and the spatial
dimension of temporality. Drawing on Charles Hatfield’s critical model (2005),
this article examines the various ways graphic narratives mediate identity, enter
into (and out of) autobiographical pacts, and «perform» authenticity.Este artículo plantea, como eje argumentativo, la identificación de
algunas convenciones genéricas del cómic autobiográfico mediante las cuales
se articula la construcción de la identidad y se abordan aspectos relativos a la
veracidad, la ética y la representación del «yo» en un medio verbo-visual. La memoria
gráfica de Craig Thompson Blankets (2003) servirá de base para el análisis
de algunos recursos semióticos del género autobiográfico: la representación de
la subjetividad y la dimensión espacial de la temporalidad. A partir del modelo
crítico postulado por Charles Hatfield (2005), se examina la identidad fragmentada
del sujeto autobiográfico, la doble naturaleza del pacto narrativo –verbal y
visual– y la noción de autenticidad
