Distributed programming can be greatly simplified by language support for distributed communication. Many web-browsers now offer some form of active objects and the number and types of them are growing daily in interesting and innovative ways. Java applets are well known as one kind of active object related to web-browser. This paper focuses in distributed active objects which is one kind of active objects that can communicate with other active objects located in different machines across the Internet. Java RMI and CORBA IDL are two major programming environments for distributed active objects which are non compatible with each other. To make discussion concrete, we introduce a single application as implemented on two environments : the HORM, adopting RMI mechanism, and the OrbixWeb2.0.1, adopting CORBA specification, respectively. Binding, inheritance, polymorphism, object passing and callbacks across the machine boundary in distributed programming environments are issued. The results show that some differences in the implementation of distributed active objects can have a significant impact on how distributed applications are structured. The comparison between two implementations on the programming environments will be the basis for building the translation system between HORB to OrbixWeb and vice versa.

This paper presents an intelligent pattern matching method that can be used to acquire the reliable calibration data for automatic PCB pattern inspection. The inaccurate calibration data is often acquired by geometric pattern variations and selecting an inappropriate model manual. It makes low the confidence of inspection and also the inspection processing time has been delayed. In this paper, the geometric features of PCB patterns are utilized to calculate the accurate calibration data. An appropriate model is selected automatically based on the geometric features, and then the calibration data to be invariant to the geometric variations(translation, rotation, scaling) is calculated. The method can save the inspection time unnecessary by eliminating the need for manual model selection. As the result, it makes a fast, accurate and reliable inspection of PCB patterns.

In this paper, we propose a method to find the most similar answer to the user's response from the question-answer database in order to avoid generating a redundant question in retrieval-based automatic question generation system. As a question of the most similar answer to user's response may already be known to the user, the question should be removed from a set of question candidates. A similarity detector calculates a similarity between two answers by utilizing the same words, paraphrases, and sentential meanings. Paraphrases can be acquired by building a phrase table used in a statistical machine translation. A sentential meaning's similarity of two answers is calculated by an attention-based convolutional neural network. We evaluate the accuracy of the similarity detector on an evaluation set with 100 answers, and can get the 71% Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR) score.

This study aimed at providing a comprehensive account of the sources and causes of errors in business emails that Korean college students wrote using a translation machine. Data were collected from 21 emails written by the students who took a business English course. Findings indicated that the students tended to make frequent errors in verb use and verb tense as well as a definite article, countable/noncountable nouns, time adverbs and prepositions. Therefore, the study suggested that the students' common errors imply that they experience some difficulties learning these linguistic features. Given that learners' errors can give us valuable insights into teaching and learning how to write in English, pedagogical suggestions are put forward based on the study results.

Korea language has postpositions such as eul, reul, yi, ga, wa, and gwa, which are attached to nouns and add meaning to the sentence. When foreign notations or abbreviations are included in sentences, the appropriate postposition for the pronunciation of the foreign words may not be used. Sometimes, for natural expression of the sentence, two postpositions are used with one in parentheses as in "eul(reul)" so that both postpositions can be acceptable. This study finds examples of using unnatural postpositions when foreign words are included in Korean sentences and proposes a method for using natural postpositions by learning the final consonant pronunciation of nouns. The proposed method uses a recurrent neural network model to naturally express postpositions connected to foreign words. Furthermore, the proposed method is proven by learning and testing with the proposed method. It will be useful for composing perfect sentences for machine translation by using natural postpositions for English abbreviations or new foreign words included in Korean sentences in the future.

AI combined with NLP techniques has promoted the use of Virtual Assistants and have made people rely on them for many diverse uses. Conversational Agents are the most promising technique that assists computer users through their operation. An important challenge in developing Conversational Agents globally is transferring the groundbreaking expertise obtained in English to other languages. AI is making it possible to transfer this learning. There is a dire need to develop systems that understand secular languages. One such difficult language is Hindi, which is the fourth most spoken language in the world. Semantic similarity is an important part of Natural Language Processing, which involves applications such as ontology learning and information extraction, for developing conversational agents. Most of the research is concentrated on English and other European languages. This paper presents a Corpus-based word semantic similarity measure for Hindi. An experiment involving the translation of the English benchmark dataset to Hindi is performed, investigating the incorporation of the corpus, with human and machine similarity ratings. A significant correlation to the human intuition and the algorithm ratings has been calculated for analyzing the accuracy of the proposed similarity measures. The method can be adapted in various applications of word semantic similarity or module for any other language.

Morphological analysis is a branch of natural language processing, is now a rapidly growing field. The fundamental tenet of morphological analysis is that it can establish the roots or stems of words and enable comparison to the original term. Arabic is a highly inflected and derivational language and it has a strong structure. Each root or stem can have a large number of affixes attached to it due to the non-concatenative nature of Arabic morphology, increasing the number of possible inflected words that can be created. Accurate verb recognition and extraction are necessary nearly all issues in well-known study topics include Web Search, Information Retrieval, Machine Translation, Question Answering and so forth. in this work we have designed and implemented an algorithm to detect and recognize Arbic Verbs from Arabic text.The suggested technique was created with "Python" and the "pyqt5" visual package, allowing for quick modification and easy addition of new patterns. We employed 17 alternative patterns to represent all verbs in terms of singular, plural, masculine, and feminine pronouns as well as past, present, and imperative verb tenses. All of the verbs that matched these patterns were used when a verb has a root, and the outcomes were reliable. The approach is able to recognize all verbs with the same structure without requiring any alterations to the code or design. The verbs that are not recognized by our method have no antecedents in the Arabic roots. According to our work, the strategy can rapidly and precisely identify verbs with roots, but it cannot be used to identify verbs that are not in the Arabic language. We advise employing a hybrid approach that combines many principles as a result.

Purpose : To develop a patients' setup verification tool (PSVT) to verify the alignment of the machine and the target isocenters, and the reproduclbility of patients' setup for three dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). The utilization of this system is evaluated through phantom and patient case studies. Materials and methods : We developed and clinically tested a new method for patients' setup verification, using digitally reconstructed radiography (DRR), simulation, porial and digital images. The PSVT system was networked to a Pentium PC for the transmission of the acquired images to the PC for analysis. To verify the alignment of the machine and target isocenters, orthogonal pairs of simulation images were used as verification images. Errors in the isocenter alignment were measured by comparing the verification images with DRR of CT Images. Orthogonal films were taken of all the patients once a week. These verification films were compared with the DRR were used for the treatment setup. By performing this procedure every treatment, using humanoid phantom and patient cases, the errors of localization can be analyzed, with adjustments made from the translation. The reproducibility of the patients' setup was verified using portal and digital images. Results : The PSVT system was developed to verify the alignment of the machine and the target isocenters, and the reproducibility of the patients' setup for 3DCRT and IMRT. The results show that the localization errors are 0.8$\pm$0.2 mm (AP) and 1.0$\pm$0.3 mm (Lateral) in the cases relating to the brain and 1.1$\pm$0.5 mm (AP) and 1.0$\pm$0.6 mm (Lateral) in the cases relating to the pelvis. The reproducibility of the patients' setup was verified by visualization, using real-time image acquisition, leading to the practical utilization of our software Conclusions : A PSVT system was developed for the verification of the alignment between machine and the target isocenters, and the reproduclbility of the patients' setup in 3DCRT and IMRT. With adjustment of the completed GUI-based algorithm, and a good quality DRR image, our software may be used for clinical applications.

During the past decades,several automatic indexing systems have been developed such as single term indexing.phrase indexing and thesaurus basedidndexing systems.Among these systems,single term indexing has been known as superior to others despte its simpicity of extracting meaningful terms.On the other hand,thesaurus based one has been conceived as producing low retrival rate ,mainly because thesauri do not usually have enough index terms.so that much of text data fail to be indexed if they do not match with any of index terms in thesauri.This paper develops a thesaurus based indexing system THINS that yields higher retrieval rate than other systems.by doing syntactic analysis of text data and matching them with index terms in thesauri partially.First,the system analyzes the input text syntactically by using the machine translation suystem MATES/EK and extracts noun phrases.After deleting stop words from noun phrases and stemming the remaining ones.it tries to index these with similar index terms in the thesaurus as much as possible. We conduct an experiment with CACM data set that measures the retrieval effectiveness with CACM data set that measures the retrieval effectuvenss of THINS with single term based one under HYKIS-a thesaurus based information retrieval system.It turns out that THINS yields about 10 percent higher precision than single term based one.while shows 8to9 percent lower recall.This retrieval rate shows that THINS improves much better than privious ones that only yields 25 or 30 percent lower precision than single term based one.We also argue that the relatively lower recall is cause by that CRCS-the thesaurus included in CACM datea set is very incomplete one,having only more than one thousand terms,thus THINS is expected to produce much higher rate if it is associated with currently available large thesaurus.
