Can Lexical Semantics Improve Translation In Low-resource And Endangered Languages?

Low-resource, especially endangered languages are often overlooked in a majority of NLP tasks. For instance, in neural machine translation (NMT), the aim is to map text from one language into another. Although many advances have been made in developing NMT systems for natural language, little research has been done on understanding how the word ordering and lexical similarity between the source and target language affect translation performance. Specifically, in the case of low-resource and endangered languages, translation performance can often be enhanced through model architectures that leverage this understanding. Here, we investigate these relationships on a variety of low-resource, endangered Eurasiatic language pairs from the OpenSubtitles2016 database, where the source language is English, and find that the more similar the target language is to English, the greater the translation performance. In addition, we study the impact of providing NMT models with part of speech (POS) of words in the English sequence and find that, for Transformer-based models, the more dissimilar the target language is from English, the greater the benefit provided by POS. Our findings could further enhance interdisciplinary collaboration to develop NLP models to benefit speakers of many endangered languages

Why Data Should Matter To Your Communications Office

Printing and shipping costs are on the rise, and communications departments may find themselves defending the need for hard-copy publications that build brand awareness. When executives start asking to see the numbers, it's wise to be ready with data that goes beyond simple quantity. “We need to get comfortable with data because that's really the love language of the C-suite,” says Allyson Irish, editor of Andover Magazine and director of editorial and creative services for Phillips Academy (Andover, MA). “CEOs and their boards are looking at key business objectives, and if you can translate how editorial communications are enabling your organization to achieve such objectives, then you're going to be able to better advocate for your office, secure additional resources and prove the lasting value of your work.” Source: Allyson Irish, Editor, Andover Magazine, Director, Editorial & Creative Services, Phillips Academy, Andover, MA.

Contextual Affinity Distillation for Image Anomaly Detection

Previous works on unsupervised industrial anomaly detection mainly focus on local structural anomalies such as cracks and color contamination. While achieving significantly high detection performance on this kind of anomaly, they are faced with logical anomalies that violate the long-range dependencies such as a normal object placed in the wrong position. In this paper, based on previous knowledge distillation works, we propose to use two students (local and global) to better mimic the teacher's behavior. The local student, which is used in previous studies mainly focuses on structural anomaly detection while the global student pays attention to logical anomalies. To further encourage the global student's learning to capture long-range dependencies, we design the global context condensing block (GCCB) and propose a contextual affinity loss for the student training and anomaly scoring. Experimental results show the proposed method doesn't need cumbersome training techniques and achieves a new state-of-the-art performance on the MVTec LOCO AD dataset.
The Influence of Preschool Children's Intellectual Maturity and Thematic Learning on Physical Education Learning Outcomes in Elementary School

This study was conducted to determine whether preschoolers' intellectual maturity affects the learning outcomes of physical education and health using a thematic learning method. The research method used in this study was a quasi-experiment, where the experimental group was given a thematic learning approach, while the control group was given a conventional learning approach. The sample used in this study consisted of 60 students, and a written test was used as the instrument at the end of the learning process. Analysis was conducted using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a 2x2 factorial design. The results showed that the p-value for student maturity was 0.509, which is greater than the error rate of α (0.05), indicating that there is no difference in the influence of preschoolers' intellectual maturity on the learning outcomes of physical education and health. Meanwhile, the significance value of p (learning method) was 0.016, which is less than the error rate of α (0.05), indicating that there is an influence of the thematic learning approach on the learning outcomes of physical education and health. From these findings, it can be concluded that (a) there is no difference in the learning outcomes of physical education and health between students who are intellectually mature and those who are not, (b) there is a difference in the learning outcomes of physical education and health between students who are given a thematic learning approach and those who are given a conventional learning approach, and (c) there is an influence of preschoolers' intellectual maturity with the thematic learning method on the learning outcomes of physical education and health.

Students' Attitudes towards Internet Memes in Writing Descriptive Text

The aim of this research is to investigate students’ attitudes in writing descriptive text using Internet memes as a writing medium and the reasons leading to the particular attitude that occurred. This qualitative descriptive research was conducted using purposive sampling to a class that consists of 13 fourth semester students of the English Language Education study program at Universitas Tanjungpura in Essay Writing course. There are two types of data collected in this research; they are primary and secondary data. The primary data were obtained from the semantic differential questionnaire and the semi-structured interview, which was conducted to five of the students, whereas the secondary data were acquired from students’ writing scores of the Internet memes descriptive writing task. The findings reported that students have a positive attitude towards the task of writing descriptive text using Internet memes. Factors that influenced their positive attitude are the sense of enjoyment and casual feeling from the task, the sense of freedom and relatedness from their chosen memes, and the visual aid from the pictures that helps illustrate better description and helps them understand how to describe better in words. From the result, it is clear that the Internet memes pictures are helpful to boost their attitudes in writing descriptive text. It is suggested that by using fun writing media, such as Internet memes, writing teachers can put students in a comfortable learning atmosphere, so that they can absorb other important learning materials better.

The Use Code Switching of Students During Double Degree Program in Eastern Taiwan

Language is the vital for human in life. Through language, a human can communicate each other. The phenomenon of an individual uses more than one language to deliver means in some words or sentences is called code-switching. Code-switching researches are easy to find, but most of them are implemented in the classroom. It is rare to find research about code-switching about double degree students. The objectives of this study are to discover what languages that students used for code-switching, to find out the students' motivations, and to know students’ attitudes when used code-switching during their double degree program in Taiwan. This study used the descriptive qualitative method to collect and analyzed the data. Purposive sampling is applied. The subjects are master's degree students that stay for about two semesters in Eastern Taiwan. The Interview was adopted from Hossam Ebid (2017) and it was a semi-structured interview. This study found that the languages English and Bahasa Indonesia are the majority languages that students spoke, Sunda, Chinese, and Spanish are used for code-switching for certain people. The motivations to use code-switching are intimacy, strengthen culture, privacy, maintain the language, sharing, communication, the words that cannot be translated, exploring Taiwan language, get a new friend, and building a relationship. The attitude of the students showed positives toward code-switching. It found also that the attitudes of interlocutors when encounter double degree students, such as angry, afraid, lost interest, happy and confused.

Assessing Strategies in EFL Classes During the Onsite Transition Period at a Senior High School in Mengwi

&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; During teachers' adaptation to online learning, the Covid-19 case has shown a decline indicating that general health conditions are starting to improve. This has encouraged the government to re-implement face-to-face learning while still paying attention to health protocols. During the transition from online to onsite learning, teachers must adjust their strategy, especially the assessment strategy, because onsite learning differs from pre-pandemic onsite learning. Therefore, this research aims to describe the assessment strategies applied by teachers during the transition period. This research is descriptive qualitative research. Researchers used observation sheets, and interviews as instruments, and data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman models. The findings from this study are that teachers use an assessment strategy based on three assessment approaches according to the 2013 curriculum: assessment as learning, assessment for learning, and assessment of learning. However, in this transitional period, teachers are considered to need to improve in applying technology to assessment. Besides that, the strategies used by teachers also tend to be monotonous. The results of this study are expected to be a reflection for teachers in determining the right strategy in the transition from online to onsite learning.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;

A Hybrid Digital Image Watermarking By Using DWT and LSB Method

The Digital watermarking is a field of information hiding that entails hiding the crucial information in the original data in order to prevent illegal duplication and distribution of multimedia data such as image, video, text and ect.. In this paper, we present two techniques to embed watermarks in the cover image. The first is the Least Significant Bit (LSB) method, which is a spatial domain technique and considered fragile against attacks and other operations. The second method is the frequency domain technique, which uses Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and is considered robust against attacks. The efficiency and performance of these techniques are evaluated based on Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE). From the results, the value of PSNR is above 37 dB, which ensures better imperceptibility and shows better robustness. The comparison between the two techniques shows that the hybrid method was more robust than the LSB method, hence it achieves good invisibility. Index Terms— Digital watermarking, Least Significant Bit (LSB), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), spatial domain, frequency domain.
