question:
We introduce a simple, general strategy to manipulate the behavior of a neural decoder that enables it to generate outputs that have specific properties of interest (e.g., sequences of a pre-specified length). The model can be thought of as a simple version of the actor-critic model that uses an interpolation of the actor (the MLE-based token generation policy) and the critic (a value function that estimates the future values of the desired property) for decision making. We demonstrate that the approach is able to incorporate a variety of properties that cannot be handled by standard neural sequence decoders, such as sequence length and backward probability (probability of sources given targets), in addition to yielding consistent improvements in abstractive summarization and machine translation when the property to be optimized is BLEU or ROUGE scores.

question:
We investigate the use of temporally abstract actions, or macro-actions, in the solution of Markov decision processes. Unlike current mod­ els that combine both primitive actions and macro-actions and leave the state space un­ changed, we propose a hierarchical model (using an abstract MDP) that works with macro-actions only, and that significantly reduces the size of the state space. This is achieved by treating macro­ actions as local policies that act in certain regions of state space, and by restricting states in the ab­ stract MDP to those at the boundaries of regions. The abstract MDP approximates the original and can be solved more efficiently. We discuss sev­ eral ways in which macro-actions can be gen­ erated to ensure good solution quality. Finally, we consider ways in which macro-actions can be reused to solve multiple, related MDPs; and we show that this can justify the computational over­ head of macro-action generation.
answer:
Hierarchical Solution of Markov Decision Processes using Macro-actions


question:
It has been proved that large-scale realistic Knowledge Based Machine Translation (KBMT) applications require acquisition of huge knowledge about language and about the world. This knowledge is encoded in computational grammars, lexicons and domain models. Another approach – which avoids the need for collecting and analyzing massive knowledgeis the Example Based approach, which is the topic of this paper. We show through the paper that using Example Based in its native form is not suitable for translating into Arabic. Therefore a modification to the basic approach is presented to improve the accuracy of the translation process. The basic idea of the new approach is to improve the technique by which template-based approaches select the appropriate templates. It relies on extracting, from a parallel Bilingual Corpus, all possible templates that could match parts of the source sentence. These templates are selected as suitable candidate chunks for the source sentence. The corresponding Arabic templates are also extracted and represented by a diredted graph. Each branch represents one possible string of templates candidate to represent the target sentence. The shortest continuous path or the most probable tree branch is selected to represent the target sentence. Finally the Arabic translation of the selected tree branch is generated.
