Neuroprosthesis can be used to restore lost motor functions for paraplegicsby using functional electrical stimulation (FES). Neuroprosthesis controllers determine the relationship between the stimulation pulses and joint angles to generate electrical stimulation patterns for the desired movement.To develop intelligent controllers, an inverse model which is the basic component of the intelligent controller is built by using empirical approaches to get a data set that consists of input (stimulation pulses) and output (joint angles). Because of the numerous exhausting experiments on patients and the need for repetition during Controller design, this study uses modeling and simulation to generate the data setthrough developing humanoid model, and simulating practical trials of quadriceps stimulation during swing leg movement. We connected three programs to develop a humanoid model by building: body segments in Visual Nastran 4D, muscles in Virtual Muscle 4.0.1, and passive joint properties in Matlab/ Simulink. Then the humanoid model was used to producethe identification data sets, through applying sinusoidal and random signals to simulate the stimulation of the knee extensors. The humanoid model can fit different users by using a number of graphical user interface screens to change the human and muscles parameters, so it is a generic model. It can be used in developing controllers to restore lost movement such as standing up, walking, jumping, etc. The simulation results is similar to practical trials, so using the developed model can reduce the number of experimental tests to be performed with patients during Neuroprosthesis controllers design.

Machine translation of user-generated code-mixed inputs to English is of crucial importance in applications like web search and targeted advertising. We address the scarcity of parallel training data for training such models by designing a strategy o f converting existing non-code-mixed parallel data sources to code-mixed parallel data. We present an m-BERT based procedure whose core learnable component is a ternary sequence labeling model, that can be trained with a limited code-mixed corpus alone. We show a 5.8 point increase in BLEU on heavily code-mixed sentences by training a translation model using our data augmentation strategy on an Hindi-English code-mixed translation task.
Unsupervised neural machine translation (UNMT) that relies solely on massive monolingual corpora has achieved remarkable results in several translation tasks. However, in real-world scenarios, massive monolingual corpora do not exist for some extreme ly low-resource languages such as Estonian, and UNMT systems usually perform poorly when there is not adequate training corpus for one language. In this paper, we first define and analyze the unbalanced training data scenario for UNMT. Based on this scenario, we propose UNMT self-training mechanisms to train a robust UNMT system and improve its performance in this case. Experimental results on several language pairs show that the proposed methods substantially outperform conventional UNMT systems.
In this paper, it has merged two techniques of the artificial intelligent, they are the ants colony optimization algorithm and the genetic algorithm, to The recurrent reinforcement learning trading system optimization. The proposed trading system is based on an ant colony optimization algorithm and the genetic algorithm to select an optimal group of technical indicators, and fundamental indicators.
Extracting keyphrases that summarize the main points of a document is a fundamental task in natural language processing. Supervised approaches to keyphrase extraction(KPE) are largely developed based on the assumption that the training data is fully annotated. However, due to the difficulty of keyphrase annotating, KPE models severely suffer from incomplete annotated problem in many scenarios. To this end, we propose a more robust training method that learns to mitigate the misguidance brought by unlabeled keyphrases. We introduce negative sampling to adjust training loss, and conduct experiments under different scenarios. Empirical studies on synthetic datasets and open domain dataset show that our model is robust to incomplete annotated problem and surpasses prior baselines. Extensive experiments on five scientific domain datasets of different scales demonstrate that our model is competitive with the state-of-the-art method.
We present new state-of-the-art benchmarks for paraphrase detection on all six languages in the Opusparcus sentential paraphrase corpus: English, Finnish, French, German, Russian, and Swedish. We reach these baselines by fine-tuning BERT. The best re sults are achieved on smaller and cleaner subsets of the training sets than was observed in previous research. Additionally, we study a translation-based approach that is competitive for the languages with more limited and noisier training data.
