This paper performs a detailed analysis on the alignment of Portuguese contractions, based on a previously aligned bilingual corpus. The alignment task was performed manually in a subset of the English-Portuguese CLUE4Translation Alignment Collection. The initial parallel corpus was pre-processed and a decision was made as to whether the contraction should be maintained or decomposed in the alignment. Decomposition was required in the cases in which the two words that have been concatenated, i.e., the preposition and the determiner or pronoun, go in two separate translation alignment pairs (PT- [no seio de] [a União Europeia] EN- [within] [the European Union]). Most contractions required decomposition in contexts where they are positioned at the end of a multiword unit. On the other hand, contractions tend to be maintained when they occur at the beginning or in the middle of the multiword unit, i.e., in the frozen part of the multiword (PT- [no que diz respeito a] EN- [with regard to] or PT- [além disso] EN-[in addition]. A correct alignment of multiwords and phrasal units containing contractions is instrumental for machine translation, paraphrasing, and variety adaptation.
Deep Dependency Graph Conversion in EnglishJinho Choi
This paper presents a method for the automatic conversion of constituency trees into deep dependency graphs consisting of primary, secondary, and semantic relations. Our work is distinguished from previous work concerning the generation of shallow dependency trees such that it generates dependency graphs incorporating deep structures in which relations stay consistent regardless of their surface positions, and derives relations between out-of-domain arguments, caused by syntactic variations such as open clause, relative clause, or coordination, and their predicates so the complete argument structures are represented for both verbal and non-verbal predicates. Our deep dependency graph conversion recovers important argument relations that would be missed by dependency tree conversion, and merges syntactic and semantic relations into one unified representation, which can reduce the bundle of developing another layer of annotation dedicated for predicate argument structures. Our graph conversion method is applied to six corpora in English and generated over 4.6M dependency graphs covering 20 different genres.

This paper describes a lightweight, scalable model that predicts whether a Dutch verb ends in -d, -t or -dt. The confusion of these three endings is a common Dutch spelling mistake. If the predicted ending is different from the ending as written by the author, the system will signal the dt-mistake. This paper explores various data sources to use in this classification task, such as the Europarl Corpus, the Dutch Parallel Corpus and a Dutch Wikipedia corpus. Different architectures are tested for the model training, focused on a transfer learning approach with ULMFiT. The trained model can predict the right ending with 99.4% accuracy, and this result is comparable to the current state-of-the-art performance. Adjustments to the training data and the use of other part-of-speech taggers may further improve this performance. As discussed in this paper, the main advantages of the approach are the short training time and the potential to use the same technique with other disambiguation tasks in Dutch or in other languages.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Most pieces of formal writing are organised in a similar way: introduction; development of main ideas or
arguments; conclusion. Linking words and phrases join clauses, sentences and paragraphs together.
A piece of writing or text may include the following:
idea
and
one idea is linked to another
idea
or
an alternative is presented
idea
but
idea
an objection is made
2. Connectives
The main linking words and phrases are grouped below according to the similarity of their meaning to
the three basic connectives and, or, but. Some can be used to link paragraphs and others can only be
used to link ideas within a paragraph.

A.
Our state’s correctional system is plagued with problems. (a) _________, (example) high officials
increase their personal wealth by awarding building and catering contracts to disreputable companies in
return for bribes. (b) ___________, (addition) promotions within the system are made on the basis of
politics, not merit. (c) __________, the system is filled __________ (result) with people at the top
who know little about what they are doing. (d) __________, (addition) careless security measures,
allowing trusted inmates to control certain operations of the institution, are part of the growing
problem. But one increasing tendency in particular is doing harm to the system’s image and efficiency.
This is the tendency of officials who are charged with important tasks and who make faulty decisions to
cover up their mistakes. (e) __________, one would think that amid all the strife some effort
__________ (conclusion) would be made to rectify these problems, but a seemingly dogged
determination to resist change overshadows the system.
B.
Genetic screening in business, or testing the genes of employees to see if they are susceptible to
workplace-related diseases, may present problems for the tested. (a) __________, the genetic
screening tests and technology in general are in their infancy stages. (b) __________, many physicians
and health professionals doubt their reliability. (c) ___________, once genetic information is recorded
on employees, it cannot always be kept secret. Even though employers are assured that their medical
files are confidential, clerical staff have access to them. (d) __________, if they are entered into a
computer data base, they are available to anyone with access. (e) __________, some argue that such
screening procedures are violations of personal rights. (f) __________, many cite similarities between
genetic screening and drug testing, noting that both involve a process of obtaining information from
unwilling individuals that might affect them adversely. Opponents of genetic screening point out that
some employees with the potential for workplace diseases would rather run the risk than lose their
jobs.
