معظم اللغات المفقودة التي لا تزال غير المفقودة تظهر خصائيتين تشكل تحديات فك شفرة كبيرة: (1) لا يتم تجزئة النصوص بالكامل في الكلمات؛ (2) لا يتم تحديد أقرب لغة معروفة. نقترح نموذج فك تشفير يعالج كل من هذه التحديات من خلال بناء القيود اللغوية الغنية التي تعكس أنماط ثابتة في تغيير الصوت التاريخي. نلقي التقاط الهندسة الصوتيات الطبيعية عن طريق التعلم Admanes Admingdings بناء على الأبجدية الصوتية الدولية (IPA). الإطار الولادة الناتج الناتج نماذج تجزئة الكلمات والمعالجة، على علم بالقيود الصوتية. نقيم النموذج على كل من اللغات المعتمدة (القوطية، Ugaritic) وواحدة غير ملائمة (iberian). تظهر التجارب أن دمج الهندسة الصوتية يؤدي إلى مكاسب واضحة ومتسقة. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، نقترح قياس التقارب اللغوي الذي يحدد بشكل صحيح اللغات ذات الصلة القوطية و Ugaritic. بالنسبة إلى Iberian، لا تظهر الطريقة أدلة قوية تدعم لغة الباسك بلغة ذات صلة، متفق عليها بالموقف المفضل من قبل المنح الدراسية الحالية
Most undeciphered lost languages exhibit two characteristics that pose significant decipherment challenges: (1) the scripts are not fully segmented into words; (2) the closest known language is not determined. We propose a decipherment model that handles both of these challenges by building on rich linguistic constraints reflecting consistent patterns in historical sound change. We capture the natural phonological geometry by learning character embeddings based on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The resulting generative framework jointly models word segmentation and cognate alignment, informed by phonological constraints. We evaluate the model on both deciphered languages (Gothic, Ugaritic) and an undeciphered one (Iberian). The experiments show that incorporating phonetic geometry leads to clear and consistent gains. Additionally, we propose a measure for language closeness which correctly identifies related languages for Gothic and Ugaritic. For Iberian, the method does not show strong evidence supporting Basque as a related language, concurring with the favored position by the current scholarship.1

Scripts -- prototypical event sequences describing everyday activities -- have been shown to help understand narratives by providing expectations, resolving ambiguity, and filling in unstated information. However, to date they have proved hard to aut
hor or extract from text. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time that pre-trained neural language models can be finetuned to generate high-quality scripts, at varying levels of granularity, for a wide range of everyday scenarios (e.g., bake a cake). To do this, we collect a large (6.4k) crowdsourced partially ordered scripts (named proScript), that is substantially larger than prior datasets, and develop models that generate scripts by combining language generation and graph structure prediction. We define two complementary tasks: (i) edge prediction: given a scenario and unordered events, organize the events into a valid (possibly partial-order) script, and (ii) script generation: given only a scenario, generate events and organize them into a (possibly partial-order) script. Our experiments show that our models perform well (e.g., F1=75.7 on task (i)), illustrating a new approach to overcoming previous barriers to script collection. We also show that there is still significant room for improvement toward human level performance. Together, our tasks, dataset, and models offer a new research direction for learning script knowledge.
In this paper, we introduce the task of predicting severity of age-restricted aspects of movie content based solely on the dialogue script. We first investigate categorizing the ordinal severity of movies on 5 aspects: Sex, Violence, Profanity, Subst
ance consumption, and Frightening scenes. The problem is handled using a siamese network-based multitask framework which concurrently improves the interpretability of the predictions. The experimental results show that our method outperforms the previous state-of-the-art model and provides useful information to interpret model predictions. The proposed dataset and source code are publicly available at our GitHub repository.
The aim of the study is repairing some partially damaged
archeological wood and restoration it before being completely
damaged. For achieving this aim, the radiation technology was used in preparing some polymer blends such as Poly (vinyl alcohol)
(PVA), Poly ethylene glycol (PEG), acrylic acid (AAC), and Acryl amid (AAm) to improving adhesion forces of polymer with wood and protecting it. The results show that the best mechanical
properties was achieved by using Poly(vinyl) alcohol (PVA), acrylic
acid (AAC), and acryl amid (AAm). Also, results show that by
increasing the ratio of acrylic acid (AAC), the tensile strength,
adhesion force, hardness, transparency, are increasing. The best
tensile strength obtained was 4.79 MPa for polymer blends contains 18/% acrylic acid, 6% acryl amid, 12% poly (vinyl alcohol) when exposing to Ultra-Violet ray dose of 210 . Results, also showed that the exposing of wood to Ultra-Violet ray dose of 250 [Gry] was enough for doing sterilization, purification.
Narrative generation is an open-ended NLP task in which a model generates a story given a prompt. The task is similar to neural response generation for chatbots; however, innovations in response generation are often not applied to narrative generatio
n, despite the similarity between these tasks. We aim to bridge this gap by applying and evaluating advances in decoding methods for neural response generation to neural narrative generation. In particular, we employ GPT-2 and perform ablations across nucleus sampling thresholds and diverse decoding hyperparameters---specifically, maximum mutual information---analyzing results over multiple criteria with automatic and human evaluation. We find that (1) nucleus sampling is generally best with thresholds between 0.7 and 0.9; (2) a maximum mutual information objective can improve the quality of generated stories; and (3) established automatic metrics do not correlate well with human judgments of narrative quality on any qualitative metric.
In this paper, we aim to address the challenges surrounding the translation of ancient Chinese text: (1) The linguistic gap due to the difference in eras results in translations that are poor in quality, and (2) most translations are missing the cont
extual information that is often very crucial to understanding the text. To this end, we improve upon past translation techniques by proposing the following: We reframe the task as a multi-label prediction task where the model predicts both the translation and its particular era. We observe that this helps to bridge the linguistic gap as chronological context is also used as auxiliary information. We validate our framework on a parallel corpus annotated with chronology information and show experimentally its efficacy in producing quality translation outputs. We release both the code and the data for future research.
