Inter-operability and reusability: the science of annotation

Annotating linguistic data has become a major field of interest, both for supplying the necessary data for machine learning approaches to NLP applications, and as a research issue in its own right. This comprises issues of technical formats, tools, and methodologies of annotation. We provide a brief overview of these notions and then introduce the papers assembled in this special issue.     

Unified uncertainty analysis by the mean value first order saddlepoint approximation

Uncertainties exist in products or systems widely. In general, uncertainties are classified as epistemic uncertainty or aleatory uncertainty. This paper proposes a unified uncertainty analysis (UUA) method based on the mean value first order saddlepoint approximation (MVFOSPA), denoted as MVFOSPA-UUA, to estimate the systems probabilities of failure considering both epistemic and aleatory uncertainties simultaneously. In this method, the input parameters with epistemic uncertainty are modeled using interval variables while input parameters with aleatory uncertainty are modeled using probability distribution or random variables. In order to calculate the lower and upper bounds of system probabilities of failure, both the best case and the worst case scenarios of the system performance function need to be considered, and the proposed MVFOSPA-UUA method can handle these two cases easily. The proposed method is demonstrated to be more efficient, robust and in some situations more accurate than the existing methods such as uncertainty analysis based on the first order reliability method. The proposed method is demonstrated using several examples.     

The power reflected in a SAW RAC

Considerations relating to the design of surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) reflective array pulse compressors (RACS), including the effect of array width on power reflected, the transmitted beam profile and the effect of randomized arrays, are discussed. Only a first-order analysis is used. Potential misunderstandings of these issues that could arise from the existing literature are clarified.     

经食道心房调搏的放射性核素心血管造影

本文应用反符合电路剔除调搏脉冲干扰的方法,制成经食道心房调搏心电心音门电路触发装置,用于经食道心房调搏的核素心血管造影。参考Tzivoni标准,当逐级增加调搏心率至140次/min或亚极量心率后发现:冠心病人有调搏后EF降低;急性心肌梗塞病人EF减低更为明显,并呈室壁反向运动。因此,心房调搏核素心血管造影有助于冠心病,特别是心肌梗塞的诊断。     

Semantic analysis in XTRA,an English — Chinese machine translation system

This paper concerns the resolution of lexical ambiguity in a machine translation environment. We describe the integration of principles of selection restrictions. Preference Semantics, and intelligent relaxation of constraints in handling lexical ambiguity. The approach differs from many previous MT systems in that it is more powerful than brute force systems, while more realistic than systems that assume a large degree of coded encyclopedia information for full understanding.     

激光焊接对接拼缝测量的微景深方法

对于复杂微细、错边量小的激光焊接拼缝测量,现有的视觉传感器方法不能稳定、可靠地提取出拼缝的中心位置、拼缝宽度等信息。为此,提出了基于微景深的激光焊接对接拼缝测量方法,该方法采用高倍光学放大镜头、工业CCD(Charge Coupled Device)/CMOS(Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Transistor)相机和LED(Light-Emitting Diode)外部照明装置,以光学成像光轴与被测表面法矢呈45°的方式,组成的对接拼缝的非接触测量系统,既解决了显微放大时景深很小、测量范围小的问题,又解决了狭窄拼缝高光学放大倍数拼缝检测的难题。实验结果表明,该系统可快速准确地提取出拼缝中心坐标、拼缝宽度以及拼缝局部表面法矢。拼缝宽度测量精度优于5 μm,拼缝中心测量精度优于6 μm,可识别的最小拼缝宽度为0.02 mm,完全满足激光焊接对接狭窄拼缝的检测与自动跟踪的要求。     

带有局部控制因子的图割光流估计

提出一种带有局部空间项控制因子的图割光流估计算法,能判断和处理光流场的平移遮挡现象。文中分析了平移遮挡的形成机理,构造了遮挡判别公式,基于本次的正向和反向光流场,依靠遮挡判别结果调节局部空间项控制因子,建立下次的能量泛函,加强背景区域对遮挡区域的平滑作用,隔绝运动区域对遮挡区域的平滑作用,从而构造出新结构的网络流图。另外,该算法被证明可以阻断遮挡误判在各次图割优化过程间的传递,从而使逐次α-扩散移动图割光流算法具有自适应处理遮挡的能力。通过与Ground-truth光流场的实验对比,表明该算法能较好地判断与处理遮挡导致的光流场无效区域。     

Weber定律下尺度空间的自适应构建

在Weber定律的启发下提出一种基于"恰可识别差异"的尺度空间自适应构建方法。Weber定律认为人类感知模式不仅与刺激的变化有关,而且与原刺激强度有关。基于此观点,在图像尺度空间的构建过程中,首先以Marr视觉理论的屋脊型边缘和阶梯型边缘的特征之和计算图像的信息量,再通过实验获得人类视觉能感知到"恰可识别差异"时的图像信息量变化,最后通过曲线拟合自适应构建图像的尺度空间。实验结果表明,该方法充分体现了人类视觉感知特性,与其他尺度空间构建方法相比,在目标匹配实验中,匹配数目提升了25%以上;在去噪实验中,本算法的去噪效果良好。
