Application of Mix-Up Method in Document Classification Task Using BERT

The mix-up method (Zhang et al., 2017), one of the methods for data augmentation, is known to be easy to implement and highly effective. Although the mix-up method is intended for image identification, it can also be applied to natural language processing. In this paper, we attempt to apply the mix-up method to a document classification task using bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) (Devlin et al., 2018). Since BERT allows for two-sentence input, we concatenated word sequences from two documents with different labels and used the multi-class output as the supervised data with a one-hot vector. In an experiment using the livedoor news corpus, which is Japanese, we compared the accuracy of document classification using two methods for selecting documents to be concatenated with that of ordinary document classification. As a result, we found that the proposed method is better than the normal classification when the documents with labels shortages are mixed preferentially. This indicates that how to choose documents for mix-up has a significant impact on the results.

The Impact of Electronic Promotion on Increasing the Market Share at Investment Promotion Agencies ‘A Field Study in Syrian Investment Agency’

The research aims to identify the impact of electronic Promotion in improving the efficiency of the Syrian Investment Agency in attracting foreign direct investment, through studying the relationship between the degree of using of electronic promotion in the Syrian Investment Agency and increasing its market share, and to identify the most important factors that influence on its effectiveness. To achieve that, the research adopted the descriptive analytical method, and apply a questionnaire to a sample of employees in the agency amounted / 38 / employees. The research found a strong correlation between the using of electronic promotion in the agency and increasing its market share, also a strong correlation between the availability of personnel and technical expertise and the degree of using information and communication technology and increasing its market share, a medium correlation between the quality of the website and increasing the market share, and a weak correlation between the level of diversity of the electronic promotion tools and increasing the market share. The most important factors limiting the effectiveness of the electronic promotion in the agency were the lack of a clear strategy for electronic promotion, and the lack of clarity of the electronic promotion mix components.

The Possibility Of Using The Recycled Concrete Aggregates In Hot Mix Asphalt

The recycled concrete aggregate RCA was able to take the place of the vierge & natural aggregate NA, embankments elected,to implement the base&subbase road layaers and airports in many country of the world.furthermore, there is almost consensus by a large of reshershers and scholars about the possibility of using RCA in mix cement concrete for non-structural elements .whil,the using of RCA in the hot mix asphalt HMA still under discussion and debate, due its high porosity , high water absorption, and its heterogeneity which reflected negatively on the mechanical and physical properties of the HMA This research discusses stadying the possibility of using the recycled concrete aggregates in hot mix asphalt HMA, for the implementation of the bas layer bituminous road , by the application of the marshall tests on hot mixtures asphalts have ben prepared using different ratios of recycled concrete aggregates. The results of marshall testes showed that the HMA prepared with amount of recycled concrete aggregates less than 50%,can be used to implement the base layer bituminous road,according to the general terms and specifications book for road works and bridges in the syrien arab republic.

An Experimental Study on Self Compacting Concrete Mix Produced From Local Materials

Featuring a self-compacting concrete (SCC) high capacity to fill the mold and passing ability through barriers under the influence of self-weight without vibration, thereby reducing the required labour and reduces the noise associated with vibration. Modern applications focused on improving the specifications of high performance, resistance and speed of construction. The research presents an experimental study for an (SCC) mix produced from local materials, including the necessary tests on the proposed concrete mix, which approved in the global codes. These experiments determine the basic characteristics of (SCC) in fresh case were also identified pressure resistance of (SCC) and determine the value of the modulus of elasticity (E) and the behavior curvatures. All mixes have been achieved global standards and conditions, and the required experiments were done in the laboratory of civil engineering faculty at Tishreen University.
