Abstract: Methods for Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) of bilingual sentence pairs. Steps in this invention include tokenizing and part-of-speech tagging a bilingual sentence pair, performing word alignments on the bilingual sentence pair, finding word-aligned predicate pairs in the bilingual sentence pair, generating argument candidates for each predicate using monolingual SRL system, and performing joint inference to obtain the SRL results and argument alignment for each predicate pair. This method produces more accurate SRL results on both sides of bilingual sentence pairs. Furthermore, this method also aligns the predicate-argument structures between the sentence pairs.

Abstract: A method, systems, apparatus and device enable high bandwidth satellite communications. An onboard tracking detector, installed in a low-earth orbit satellite, detects a position of an incoming optical beam received/transmitted from a first ground station of one or more ground stations.

Control electronics receive the orientation information from the tracker electronics, and control a waveguide drive electronics. The waveguide drive electronics control a voltage that is provided to an electro-optic waveguide beam steering device. The electro-optic waveguide beam steering device steers an outgoing optical beam to one of the one or more ground stations based on the voltage.
