Incremental Interpretation

                                                                                                                We present techniques for the incremental interpretation and prediction of utterance meaning in dialogue systems. These techniques open possibilities for systems to initiate responsive overlap behaviors during user speech, such as interrupting, acknowledging, or completing a user's utterance while it is still in progress. In an implemented system, we show that relatively high accuracy can be achieved in understanding of spontaneous utterances before utterances are completed. Further, we present a method for determining when a system has reached a point of maximal understanding of an ongoing user utterance, and show that this determination can be made with high precision. Finally, we discuss a prototype implementation that shows how systems can use these abilities to strategically initiate system completions of user utterances. More broadly, this framework facilitates the implementation of a range of overlap behaviors that are common in human dialogue, but have been largely absent in dialogue systems.

Point Of Interest ◽  
Air Film

In high-accuracy motion stages, the positioning accuracy at the point of interest is strongly influenced by guiding errors: for translation motions, straightness errors and angular errors (pitch, yaw and roll); for rotation motions, axial, radial and tilt errors. When air bearings are used for guiding, the air film averages out local irregularities of bearings surfaces, which helps reduce guiding errors considerably. Some results obtained with air bearing precision systems designed and manufactured by specialized companies and tested at ESRF are described below.

The methods of construction of high-precision rangefinder on the modulation method, which will complement the means of linear measurements on the interference method, are considered. The linearly compensation method, which leads to the possibility of implementing range finders with an error of mφ=0.01 mm, is proposed as the basic constructions of extremely high accuracy linear measurement devices.

Long Time

Time-series high-accuracy photometry is very important for research in stellar variability. For a long time photometry made by a photomultiplier was the only instrument for high precision stellar photometry. To overcome the atmospheric variation and instrumental problems, we must choose at least one stable star as a comparison star and move the telescope quickly between the targets. So the real efficiency is very low and one only can do it on photometric nights. To overcome this limitation, since 1989 we began to cooperate with the team of the STEPHI network. We used the Chevreton four-channel photometer which can observe the variable, two comparison stars and a chosen sky background simultaneously. The multi-channel photometer is much better than normal single channel photometer as we can see from the several STEPHI results. Now the very high quantum efficiency CCD becomes more and more popular, so we are trying to change to use CCDs. Here we give some general description of a large field high accuracy bright star CCD photometer being prepared for the Beijing Astronomical Observatory (BAO).

Fusion Framework

ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast) and MLAT (Multilateration) are the main surveillance techniques for ATC (Air Traffic Control), and will play an important role in the future's tracking system. The fusion between ADS-B and MLAT is able to achieve more accurate tracking. In views of the data characters of these two techniques, this paper designs a concrete fusion framework with multi-levels based on federal Kalman filters to fuse ADS-B and MLAT in approach. Under this framework, both ADS-B and MLAT data are processed intensively to achieve high accuracy. Experimental results based on simulation and practical data illustrate the algorithm can achieve high precision.
