Data mining and modelling for sign language

Sign languages have received significantly less attention than spoken languages in the research areas of corpus analysis, machine translation, recognition, synthesis and social signal processing, amongst others. This is mainly due to signers being in a clear minority and there being a strong prior belief that sign languages are simply arbitrary gestures. To date, this manifests in the insufficiency of sign language resources available for computational modelling and analysis, with no agreed standards and relatively stagnated advancements compared to spoken language interaction research. Fortunately, the machine learning community has developed methods, such as transfer learning, for dealing with sparse resources, while data mining techniques, such as clustering can provide insights into the data. The work described here utilises such transfer learning techniques to apply neural language model to signed utterances and to compare sign language phonemes, which allows for clustering of similar signs, leading to automated annotation of sign language resources. This thesis promotes the idea that sign language research in computing should rely less on hand-annotated data thus opening up the prospect of using readily available online data (e.g. signed song videos) through the computational modelling and automated annotation techniques presented in this thesis

Experienţa noastră în tratamentul condiloamelor acuminate

Summary 220 men - patients were examined and cured from 1998 till 2002 with condiloma acuminatum external genitals. Sistematized localization of tumors frequency of recurrence, results of treatment using different methods according to the ege groups have been evaluated. New data of combined condiloma acuminatum with infection transmitted by genitals was given. Authors conclude /he necessarily of combined treatment of condiloma acuminatum of genitals: local treatment one administration of anti-viral medication

Serviciul nefrologic pentru maturi în Republica Moldova (2000-2001)

Summary. Nephrological medical service of adult population in Republic of Moldova (2000 -2001). A review of nephrological medical service in adult population was carried out. There is a great awareness due to the increasing in incidence of the renal diseases in Republic of Moldova. In our professional view substantial recommendations to determine the changes that must be made in the field of nephrological service were suggested

Corelaţiile între unele dereglări metabolice şi tensiunea arterială la lucrătorii fabricii confecţii “Odema”

Summary. At 400 workers relationship between blood presure, the disorders of purine metabolism, urine uric acid level, microalbuminuria, cholesterolemia, indexation of body weight was evaluated. A correlation between the severity of hypertension and index of body weight, microalbuminuria, urin uric acid level was established. The usage of investigation schema of disturbances in purine metabolism will allow the earlier depistation of this disorders, the clinical evaluation of major risk patients

Unsupervised Sign Language Phoneme Clustering using HamNoSys Notation

Traditionally, sign language resources have been collected in controlled settings for specific tasks involving supervised sign classification or linguistic studies accompanied by specific annotation type. To date, very few who explored signing videos found online on social media platforms as well as the use of unsupervised methods applied to such resources. Due to the fact that the field is striving to achieve acceptable model performance on the data that differs from that seen during training calls for more diversity in sign language data, stepping away from the data obtained in controlled laboratory settings. Moreover, since the sign language data collection and annotation carries large overheads, it is desirable to accelerate the annotation process. Considering the aforementioned tendencies, this paper takes the side of harvesting online data in a pursuit for automatically generating and annotating sign language corpora through phoneme clustering.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figures, VarDial202

Diagnosticul şi tratamentul bolilor, sexual-transmisibile

Summary Concluding, it is necessary to make clinical testing and examination of patient in order to reveal the urogenital infections: chlamidiosis, mycoplasmosis, herpes, trichomoniasis, gardnerellosis,. mycotics, as their clinical pictures are very similar, in spite of the difference between their biology, The process of revealing the uro-genital infections must by carried by different methods; colouring the scrape, immunofluorescent, immunofermentative. For the determination of disease stages, the quantitative meanings of immunoglobulin classes M and G serves. The group of patients with urogenital infections in association with cytomegalovirus and herpetic irus vulgaris were observed
