Extensible hierarchical codec semantic communication system by Yuyuan ZHANG, Haitao ZHAO, Jibo WEI, Kuo CAO, Yichi ZHANG, Peng LUO, Yueling LIU, Kai MEI

“…Aiming at the problem that most current researches on text semantic communication mainly rely on simulation system for theoretical verification, an extensible hierarchical semantic communication system was proposed by taking advantage of the separation of hierarchical encoding and decoding architecture in semantic level and grammatical level.The system was compatible with the reliable communication technology under the framework of Shannon information through the mode of semantic and syntactic separation, and realized the nested combination of semantic communication and traditional communication.Furthermore, a universal and extensible verification system was built based on the software radio platform to verify the proposed semantic communication system architecture.The verification system took semantic communication software platform as the driving core of hardware drive and algorithm call, integrated the whole process of signal generation, information transmission, data acquisition, decoding and evaluation at the receiving end, and could be further extended for semantic and syntactic level.Finally, the text semantic communication was tested based on this verification system, which verified that it had higher validity and reliability than the traditional communication mode.…”

Indicating Dependency between Spoken Sentences by Prosodic Means by Mari Wiklund

“…This phenomenon of sentence-initial lowered pitch indicates, on one hand, a close discourse relationship with the preceding spoken sentence but, on the other, the beginning of a grammatically independent spoken sentence. The data are in Finnish, and they come from conference-like, monologous presentations that are translated by speech-to-text interpreters to allow the speech to be accessed by the deaf and hard-of-hearing. …”

The Qualitative Assessment of Arabic translation of Seirolebad Elalmaad based on Antoine Berman's theory by Ali Mohammad Moazzeni, Ali Ansarshahri, Ali Afzali, Masoud Fekri

“…The conclusion shows that the main reasons of deviation in Arabic translation from Seirolebad Elalmaad belongs to:  translator's lack of acquaintance to Persian language, the grammatical and lexical differences between Arabic and Persian and naturally it is resulting from the unconformity of culture, civilization, and tradition of these two nations.…”

A New Graph-Based Molecular Descriptor Using the Canonical Representation of the Molecule by Hamza Hentabli, Faisal Saeed, Ammar Abdo, Naomie Salim

“…The GBMD is a new method of obtaining a rough description of 2D molecular structure in textual form based on the canonical representations of the molecule outline shape and it allows rigorous structure specification using small and natural grammars. Simulated virtual screening experiments with the MDDR database show clearly the superiority of the graph-based descriptor compared to many standard descriptors (ALOGP, MACCS, EPFP4, CDKFP, PCFP, and SMILE) using the Tanimoto coefficient (TAN) and the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) when searches were carried.…”

Specific emitter identification based on ITD and texture analysis by Dong-fang REN, Tao ZHANG, Jie HAN, Huan-huan WANG

“…To solve the defects of time-frequency analysis and poor separability of extracted features in specific emitter identification (SEI) based on Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT)，a novel SEI method based on intrinsic time-scale decomposition(ITD)was proposed.ITD was utilized to decompose the emitter signals and get the time-frequency energy distribution(TFED)firstly，later the TFED spectrum was transformed into gray image and several image texture features through histogram statistic and gray-level co-occurrence matrix was extracted for identification.Measured ship communication signals and simulated emitter signals were used to test the performance of proposed method.Compared with another two SEI methods based on HHT，the proposed method is proved more effective in identification accuracy.…”
