This empirical corpus study explores the quality of neural machine translations (NMT) and their post-edits (NMTPE) at the German Department of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Translation (DGT) by evaluating NMT outputs, NMTPE, and respective revisions (REV) with the automatic error annotation tool Hjerson (Popović 2011) and the more fine-grained manual MQM framework (Lommel 2014)...Show More
Annotated data have traditionally been used to provide the input for training a supervised machine learning (ML) model. However, current pre-trained ML models for natural language processing (NLP) contain embedded linguistic information that can be used to inform the annotation process. We use the BERT neural language model to feed information back into an annotation task that involves semantic la...Show More
While supervised learning has achieved significant success in computer vision tasks, acquiring high-quality annotated data remains a bottleneck. This paper explores both scholarly and non-scholarly works in AI-assistive deep learning image annotation systems that provide textual suggestions, captions, or descriptions of the input image to the annotator. This potentially results in higher annotatio...Show More
Deployments of underwater passive acoustic recorders have been widely used to study marine biodiversity, especially to detect vocal cetaceans. To process the huge amount of data collected, automatic detection and classification methods are necessary. Recently the development of such methods, which includes training and then testing the models, is mainly based on so-called ground-truth labels, obta...Show More
Automatically generated metadata from large collections is an essential component of digital libraries. It is beginning to emerge as fundamental to the study of languages. Morphosyntactic annotation captures the form of individual words and their function. Nonetheless automated syntactic analysis is still imperfect and human annotators can be significantly more accurate. On the other hand, human w...Show More
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a non-invasive ultrasound monitoring technique allowing real time measurements of the blood flow velocity mainly in the Middle Cerebral Artery. It is commonly used to monitor patients with stroke risk by detecting micro-emboli. This technique generates a considerable amount of data whose annotation is expensive and time-consuming. We propose a semi-supervised learning...Show More
In order to solve the problem that it is difficult to recognize small-scale objects in the process of image annotation, an automatic image annotation method based on multi-scale features is proposed. This method combines transfer learning and deep learning, adds a feature fusion layer to the convolutional neural network model, establishes a top-down feature fusion mechanism, and builds a convoluti...Show More
This study introduces a laboratory experiment designed to assess the influence of annotation strategies, levels of class imbalance, and prior experience, on the performance of human annotators. The experiment focuses on labeling aerial imagery, using ArcGIS Pro, to detect and segment small-scale PVs, selected as a case study for rectangular objects. The experiment is conducted using images with a ...Show More
Grammatical errors are one of the most common types of errors in English learning and writing. Intelligent detection and correction of English grammatical errors can effectively help English learners improve their learning efficiency. The research is based on the BLSTM bi-directional and long-short-term memory neural network to construct a sequence labeling model to detect and correct English gram...Show More
In machine learning, the data annotation process is an essential, but error-prone and time-consuming manual activity, which associates metadata to the samples of a dataset. In the context of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) this generally reflects in a human watching the video recordings of the activities carried out by the target user to assign a label to each video frame. The label can refer, fo...Show More
This paper proposes a fusion-based method to generate pseudo-annotations from bounding boxes for semantic segmentation. The idea is to first generate diverse foreground masks by multiple bounding box segmentation methods, and then combine these masks to generate pseudo-annotations. Existing methods generate foreground masks from bounding boxes by classical segmentation methods driving by low-level...Show More
Along with the explosive growth of images, automatic image annotation has attracted great interest of various research communities. However, despite the great progress achieved in the past two decades, automatic annotation is still an important open problem in computer vision, and can hardly achieve satisfactory performance in real-world environment. In this paper, we address the problem of annota...Show More
This paper introduces an efficient keyword based medical image retrieval method using image classification and confidence assigning of each keyword. To classify images, we first extract wavelet-based CSLBP (WCS-LBP) descriptors from local parts of the images and then we apply the extracted feature vector to decision trees to construct random forests, which are an ensemble of random decision trees....Show More

Soft-biometrics play an important role in face biometrics and related fields since these might lead to biased performances, threaten the user's privacy, or are valuable for commercial aspects. Current face databases are specifically constructed for the development of face recognition applications. Consequently, these databases contain a large number of face images but lack in the number of attribu...Show More
Manual data annotation is an important NLP task but one that takes a considerable amount of resources and effort. In spite of the costs, labelling and categorizing entities are essential for NLP tasks such as semantic evaluation. Even though annotation can be done by non-experts in most cases, due to the fact that this requires human labour, the process is costly. Another major challenge encounter...Show More
This paper proposes a generic methodology for the semi-automatic generation of reliable position annotations for evaluating multi-camera people-trackers on large video data sets. Most of the annotation data are automatically computed, by estimating a consensus tracking result from multiple existing trackers and people detectors and classifying it as either reliable or not. A small subset of the da...Show More
