Neural Models for Measuring Confidence on Interactive Machine Translation Systems

[EN] Reducing the human effort performed with the use of interactive-predictive neural machine translation (IPNMT) systems is one of the main goals in this sub-field of machine translation (MT). Prior works have focused on changing the human¿machine interaction method and simplifying the feedback performed. Applying confidence measures (CM) to an IPNMT system helps decrease the number of words that the user has to check through the translation session, reducing the human effort needed, although this supposes losing a few points in the quality of the translations. The effort reduction comes from decreasing the number of words that the translator has to review¿it only has to check the ones with a score lower than the threshold set. In this paper, we studied the performance of four confidence measures based on the most used metrics on MT. We trained four recurrent neural network (RNN) models to approximate the scores from the metrics: Bleu, Meteor, Chr-f, and TER. In the experiments, we simulated the user interaction with the system to obtain and compare the quality of the translations generated with the effort reduction. We also compare the performance of the four models between them to see which of them obtains the best results. The results achieved showed a reduction of 48% with a Bleu score of 70 points¿a significant effort reduction to translations almost perfect.This work received funds from the Comunitat Valenciana under project EU-FEDER (ID-IFEDER/2018/025), Generalitat Valenciana under project ALMAMATER (PrometeoII/2014/030), and Ministerio de Ciencia e Investigacion/Agencia Estatal de Investigacion/10.13039/501100011033/and "FEDER Una manera de hacer Europa" under project MIRANDA-DocTIUM (RTI2018-095645-B-C22).Navarro-Martínez, Á.; Casacuberta Nolla, F.

Consideraciones clínicas sobre la resorción radicular externa por impactación dentaria

[email protected] resorción externa por presión (RREP) consiste en una pérdida de tejido dentinario y cementario de las raíces dentarias que se origina a nivel del ligamento periodontal, ocasionada por presiones prolongadas y mantenidas sobre la raíz. Presentamos tres casos con diferente repercusión y tratamiento. Según el distinto grado de afectación se describe y clasifica el tratamiento de RREP a causa de dientes impactados. En cuanto a la restauración de RREP se perfila la cavidad clase V de diseño 5 y el empleo de cermet o amalgamas de plata para su relleno.Pressure external root resorption (PERR) is a loss of dental root tissues (dentine and cementum) that begin in the periodontal area caused by a impacted teeth. We show three cases with differents clinical situations and therapeutical aspects. Pulpal injurie and difficulty in the post-endodontic cavity acces are characteristiques of these processes. Depending on the level of tissue destruction we discusse the therapeutical orientation in each case. Some treatments like class V type 5 cavities or fillings with cermet glass-ionomer in the more atipical situations (generally after an endodontic treatment) are a good choice in these [email protected] [email protected]

Un tipo de máquinas de tratamiento de la información que llamamos ordenadores personales ha invadido el mundo. Popularmente conocidos por el nombre acronímico de pecés, se distribuyen por la sociedad entera en un número que ya se mide en el orden de magnitud de las decenas de millones de unidades. Adelantando unos datos que completaremos más adelante, durante el año 1988 se vendieron dieciséis millones de estas máquinas, siete de ellos en Europa

Relating Information Technologies and knowledge in Submarines Construction

[ENG] Applied scientists and engineers work for the Navy in technology development, in the design of certain critical components, to ensure safety and to determine the appropriate tradeoffs regarding performance, schedule, and cost. To carry out this work submarine engineers and designers must possess special knowledge beyond that required for building most other kinds of warships. Many systems must be designed for greater compactness and quietness than is needed for surface vessels, in this way, it is possible for these systems to resist the physical pressure of operations at sea. That is why the design process of a submarine is a task to integrate knowledge and complex technologies which must work simultaneously and which need the complement of the knowledge of the different agents related with the shipyard. In this work framework, the lack of suitable knowledge and experience of the staff could lead to an increase in construction costs due to changes or failure to adapt the uncompleted designs. Also, it has been consistently described the technology as a significant, powerful shift in the workplace climate, pedagogy and resulting learnin

Handgrip strength test a complementary tool in monitoring asthma in daily clinical practice in children

The aim of this study was to demonstrate that handgrip strength test can discriminate the presence/absence of asthma and between intermittent and moderate persistent asthma in children. 140 children (70 healthy and 70 with asthma) completed the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) and performed the handgrip strength test. Forty-eight hours later, subjects performed spirometry. The results showed Handgrip strength was significantly lower (p<0.001) in children with asthma compared with healthy ones. There were also significant differences (p= 0.024) according to the severity of the disease; children with moderate persistent asthma performed worse than children with intermittent asthma. Binary logistic regression analysis and ROC curve analysis revealed that the result in handgrip strength test was a predictive factor for asthma (cut-off at 16.84 kg) and for severity of pathology (cut-off at 15.06 kg). Handgrip strength was reduced in children with asthma. Handgrip strength was positively associated with lung capacity and quality of life. The fact that the handgrip strength test was able to discriminate between presence/absence of asthma and between intermittent and moderate persistent asthma in children suggested that this test could be used as a complementary tool in the monitoring of asthma in daily clinical practice

An inverse analysis method based on deflection to curvature transformation to determine the tensile properties of UHPFRC

“The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/[http://dx.doi.org/10.1617/s11527-014-0434-0”[EN] The determination of the tensile properties of such a deflection hardening response material as UHPFRC is a serious challenge for both researchers and designers. This process involves many factors, such as specimen size, fibre orientation or test typology. The socalled inverse analysis is used to obtain the tensile constitutive properties that are consistent with the specimen response in a bending test. This work focuses on the inverse analysis process. The main aim is to develop a new back-calculation methodology, which is easy to implement, reliable, quick and is consistentwith the measurements taken from a four-point bending test. The new methodology proposed has been validated using an analytical formulation and the experimental results of others authors. This paper also includes an application example of how this methodology works.This work forms part of the ‘‘FIBAC’’ and ‘‘FISNE’’ research projects, with reference BIA2009-12722 and BIA2012-35776, respectively, supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competiveness and the FEDER fund.
