However, real-world applications often face a critical challenge of data scarcity. Text Augmentation (TA) techniques are being investigated extensively in the field of natural language processing to solve this data scarcity and enhance model performance. For Indian Languages, data collection is challenging as they exhibit rich syntactic and morphological diversity compared to resource-rich languages like English. This diversity further compounds the problem of data scarcity, leading to poor translation quality, especially when translating from low-resource languages to resource-rich ones. This study addresses the challenge by proposing a fuzzy-based TA technique to enhance machine translation quality. The proposed approach leverages fuzzy matching to identify and utilize potential near-matches in translated sentences, thereby augmenting the available training data. Fuzzy is a lexicalized matching strategy that seeks out non-exact matches in a sentence. To evaluate the effectiveness of this method, three resource-rich Indic languages were considered, including a low-resource endangered language. Experimental results on the test set demonstrate significant and consistent improvements in the augmented dataset, achieving a +3.53 of BiLingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) and +6.247 of Metric for Evaluation of Translation with Explicit ORdering (METEOR) point increase over the baseline system. Furthermore, we conducted statistical analysis to confirm the significance of these results, validating the enhanced quality of the translation tasks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50523,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence","volume":"157 ","pages":"Article 111221"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144242548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Higher accurate segmentation remains crucial to ensure a reliable disease detection and hence clinical treatment. Numerous standard deep learning (DL) architectures have been employed to segment the RVT regardless of the image field However, due to the intricate morphologies of vascular trees comprising fine and complex structures, those DL architectures failed to achieve high accuracy in retinal vessel segmentation. Therefore, several promising solutions have been developed to overcome these limitations, where their main contributions rely on adapting the convolution processing of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) blocks with respect to the retinal vessels characteristics. In this paper, we present a review of extended convolution blocks within DCNNs for RVT segmentation from fundus images. Our main contributions remain on (1) Identifying the different principles extension of convolution blocks; (2) Proposing a taxonomy of convolution block extension, and (3) Analyzing and discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each extension type with respect to segmentation quality and database characteristics.
