This paper proposes a hybrid machine-translation system that combines neural machine translation with well-developed rule-based machine translation to utilize the stability of the latter to compensate for the inadequacy of neural machine translation in rare-resource domains. A classifier is introduced to predict which translation from the two systems is more reliable. We explore a set of features that reflect the reliability of translation and its process, and training data is automatically expanded with a small, human-labeled dataset to solve the insufficient-data problem. A series of experiments shows that the hybrid system’s translation accuracy is improved, especially in out-of-domain translations, and classification accuracy is greatly improved when using the proposed features and the automatically constructed training set. A comparison between feature- and text-based classification is also performed, and the results show that the feature-based model achieves better classification accuracy, even when compared to neural network text classifiers.

Information systems play an important role in business management, especially in personnel, budget, and financial management. If an anomaly ensues in an information system, all operations are paralyzed until their recovery. In this study, we propose a method for collecting and labeling datasets from actual operating systems in corporate environments for deep learning. The construction of a dataset from actual operating systems in a company’s information system involves constraints. Collecting anomalous data from these systems is challenging because of the need to maintain system stability. Even with data collected over a long period, the training dataset may have an imbalance of normal and anomalous data. We propose a method that utilizes contrastive learning with data augmentation through negative sampling for anomaly detection, which is particularly suitable for small datasets. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we compared it with traditional deep learning models, such as the convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM). The proposed method achieved a true positive rate (TPR) of 99.47%, whereas CNN and LSTM achieved TPRs of 98.8% and 98.67%, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate the method’s effectiveness in utilizing contrastive learning and detecting anomalies in small datasets from a company’s information system.
