A proposed expert system for word sense disambiguation: deductive ambiguity resolution based on data mining and forward chaining

One of the major issues in the process of machine translation is the problem of choosing the proper translation for a multi‐sense word referred to as word sense disambiguation (WSD). Two commonly used approaches to this problem are statistical and example‐based methods. In statistical methods, ambiguity resolution is mostly carried out by making use of some statistics extracted from previously translated documents or dual corpora of source and target languages. Example‐based methods follow a similar approach as they also make use of bilingual corpora. However, they perform the task of matching at run‐time (i.e. online matching). In this paper, by looking at the WSD problem from a different viewpoint, we propose a system, which consists of two main parts. The first part includes a data mining algorithm, which runs offline and extracts some useful knowledge about the co‐occurrences of the words. In this algorithm, each sentence is imagined as a transaction in Market Basket Data Analysis problem, and the words included in a sentence play the role of purchased items. The second part of the system is an expert system whose knowledge base consists of the set of association rules generated by the first part. Moreover, in order to deduce the correct senses of the words, we introduce an efficient algorithm based on forward chaining in order to be used in the inference engine of the proposed expert system. The encouraging performance of the system in terms of precision and recall as well as its efficiency will be analysed and discussed through a set of experiments.     

面向飞行器交会对接应用的载波相位差分技术研究

GNSS引导两飞行器交会对接的前提是实时可靠地估计相位模糊度。针对卫星和飞行器的高动态性所引发的频繁换星问题,提出一种实时递归相位模糊度估计方法。该算法能够有效处理失锁所造成的卫星起落现象,同时充分利用历史观测与当前观测方程中部分模糊度分量的关联性,使得模糊度估计的成功率对可见卫星数目的减少不敏感。为了验证该算法在空间飞行器对接中的精度和成功率,采用GPS模拟器仿真两飞行器近程导引段和最终逼近段的过程,应用新算法实时估计两飞行器间相对位置,精度达到亚厘米级水平,成功率在可见星数递减时依然渐进逼近100%。     

考虑换件维修代价的测试优化选择

测试优化选择是测试性设计工作的基础,保证选择的测试对被测系统具有较好的故障检测率和故障隔离率是测试优化选择的重要约束。从装备换件维修的角度,通过对故障模糊组分析,可知换件维修代价对测试选择结果具有重要影响。基于相关性矩阵,在分析装备换件维修对测试选择的影响基础上,以测试代价和维修代价最小为优化目标,以故障检测率、故障隔离率为约束,建立了考虑换件维修代价的数学模型,并采用混沌二进制粒子群算法求解。仿真实例结果表明,考虑换件维修代价的测试优化选择模型更加符合工程实际,选择结果更加准确和可靠。

一种关于AutoCAD软件快速绘制三视图的作图方法

在绘制形体的三视图时,如果已知两个视图,要绘制的第三视图是左视图或者是俯视图,常用的作图方法是使用一条45°辅助线。这种作图法被习惯性地应用到Auto CAD软件绘图教学中。在Auto CAD软件绘图环境中这种传统的方法绘图效率低。文中通过实例提出一种应用于Auto CAD绘图环境下绘制三视图的作图方法,这种新的作图方法的原理是基于将传统45°辅助线作图法中俯视图、左视图相应尺寸的"宽相等",转化为相应尺寸的"长对正"或"高平齐"的过程。新方法比传统45°辅助线作图法更加简单、直接,且效率高。

Characterization and application of propylene grafted hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene hydrocarbon resin

Hydrocarbon resins, which are defined as low molecular weight, amorphous, and thermoplastic polymers, are widely used as tackifiers for various types of adhesives, as processing aids in rubber compounds, and as modifiers for paint and ink products, and for use in plastics polymers such as isotactic polypropylene. Recently, the quantities of the hydrocarbon resin׳ raw materials which are the side products from naphtha cracking process have decreased because of light-feed cracking such as gas cracking, so new raw materials for hydrocarbon resin production are essential. To be satisfied with the previously mentioned factors, the substitution of hydrocarbon resin raw materials with renewable resources is a worthy consideration. Moreover, new hydrocarbon resin having high adhesion performance, low specific gravity, and good compatibility with various polymers has been requested in various adhesives.To meet those requests, in this study, propylene instead of side product from naphtha cracking as main raw material of hydrocarbon resin were partially used. The propylene serves as a new, sustainable raw material and was successfully grafted onto dicyclopentadiene. The reaction of the propylene with dicyclopentadiene was confirmed because, according to NMR and FT-IR analyses, a pendant methyl-propylene group exists in the structure of the propylene-grafted, hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene hydrocarbon resin. To establish an optimal production condition regarding the propylene-grafted, hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene hydrocarbon resin, numerous experiments were conducted according to the mole ratio of the raw materials and the polymerization temperature. The propylene-grafted, hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene hydrocarbon resin that was manufactured according to optimal conditions results in a lower specific gravity and a high molecular weight, whereby the advantages of the adhesion properties of an SIS-based pressure-sensitive-adhesive are exploited. When the propylene-grafted, hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene hydrocarbon resin was formulated with the SIS-based pressure-sensitive-adhesive, both the heat stability and the shear-adhesion strength are sound.     

Relationships among health perceptions vary depending on stage of readiness for colorectal cancer screening.

Objective: We explored whether relationships among health perceptions differ depending on individuals' stage of readiness for colorectal cancer screening (CRCS). Methods: Data from the National Cancer Institute's Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) were used to stage adults over 50 years of age (N = 2324) using a modified version of the Precaution Adoption Process Model (PAPM) staging algorithm. Health perceptions examined included perceived risk of cancer, worry about cancer, fatalism, and beliefs about ambiguity of cancer prevention recommendations. Results: Meaningful differences in patterns of relationships among health perceptions by stage were found. Conclusions: The nonlinear patterns that emerged indicate support for the role of these health perceptions in screening, the idea that behavioral readiness may moderate the relationship between important health perceptions, and the use of the stage construct in this context.

A parametric method for non-stationary interference suppression in direct sequence spread-spectrum systems

The problem of non-stationary interference suppression in direct sequence spread-spectrum (DS-SS) systems is considered. The phase of interference is approximated by a polynomial within the considered interval. According to the local polynomial Fourier transform (LPFT) principle, the received signal is dechirped by using the obtained phase approximation and the interference is, in turn, suppressed by excising the corrupted low-pass frequency band. For the estimation of polynomial coefficients, we use the product high-order ambiguity function (PHAF), known for its capability to successfully resolve components of a multicomponent polynomial-phase signal (PPS). The proposed method can suppress interferences with both polynomial and non-polynomial phase. In addition, it can suppress both monocomponent and multicomponent interferences. The simulations show that the proposed method outperforms time-frequency (TF) methods, that successfully deal with multicomponent interferences, in terms of the error probability and computational complexity.
