  • Publication number: 20230316007
    Abstract: In a method for improving machine translation results, a processor receives a target document in a first language. A processor may also translate the target document into a first translated document in a second language using a first neural machine translation (NMT) model, determine a target attribute value from the target document and a first translated attribute value for the first translated document using a natural language understanding (NLU) model, and compare the target attribute value to the first translated attribute value to determine a first comparison score for the first NMT model.

    Abstract: An embodiment includes determining semantic attributes of a bookmark. The embodiment also includes determining respective attribute values for each of the semantic attributes of the bookmark. The embodiment also includes rendering a three-dimensional (3D) virtual space for display to a user, where the virtual space is defined by three orthogonal axes, each associated with a respective one of the semantic attributes. The embodiment also includes displaying a symbol representative of the bookmark in the virtual space. The symbol is positioned in the virtual space at an intersection of perpendicular projections from locations on the three axes corresponding with respective attribute values of the attributes associated with the respective axes.

  • Publication number: 20210187005
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition includes polymer units ? and ?, each having a hydrophilic polymer chain bound to a cationic polymer chain, and a drug. The polymer units ? and ? are radially arranged such that the cationic polymer chains are directed inward and the hydrophilic polymer chains are directed outward, thereby forming a micelle with the drug encapsulated in the micelle. The cationic polymer chain of the polymer unit ? has a phenylboronic acid group in a side chain, and the cationic polymer chain of the polymer unit ? has a phenylboronic acid binding site in a side chain. The phenylboronic acid group and the phenylboronic acid binding site form a cross-linked structure that can dissociate in an acidic environment and/or in the presence of a substance capable of competitive binding.

  • Patent number: 10975042
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for purifying an NCA, including the steps of: a) dissolving an NCA contaminated with impurities into a solvent which is a good solvent and is not a chlorinated solvent followed by stirring to precipitate an undissolved impurity to afford a suspension, b) adding an acidic filter aid having ability to trap a basic impurity to the obtained suspension followed by filtration and/or forming a fixed bed of the acidic filter aid having ability to trap a basic impurity followed by filtering the suspension to bring the suspension to be in contact with the acidic filter aid having ability to trap a basic impurity, and c) adding the obtained filtrate dropwise to a poor solvent for NCA to crystallize out the NCA in which the impurities are removed. This makes it possible to purify a low-purity NCA conveniently to afford a high-purity NCA.
