However, extensive research is imperative to make these models perform equally well for low-resource languages. This paper proposes a novel approach to integrate the best features of the NMT and SMT systems for improved translation performance of low-resource English-Tamil language pair. The suboptimal NMT model trained with the small parallel corpus translates the monolingual corpus and selects only the best translations, to retrain itself in the next iteration. The proposed method employs the SMT phrase-pair table to determine the best translations, based on the maximum match between the words of the phrase-pair dictionary and each of the individual translations. This repeating cycle of translation and retraining generates a large quasi-parallel corpus, thus making the NMT model more powerful. SMT-integrated incremental training demonstrates a substantial difference in translation performance as compared to the existing approaches for incremental training. The model is strengthened further by adopting a beam search decoding strategy to produce <i>k</i> best possible translations for each input sentence. Empirical findings prove that the proposed model with BLEU scores of 19.56 and 23.49 outperforms the baseline NMT with scores 11.06 and 17.06 for Eng-to-Tam and Tam-to-Eng translations, respectively.

For this, we link research on algorithmic management (AM) with Sociomaterial System Theory and Action Regulation Theory (ART). Our main assumption is that psychological effects of sociomaterial systems, such as AM, can be explained by their impact on human action. From the synthesis of the theories, mixed effects on human-centered task design can be derived: It can be expected that AM contributes to fewer action regulation opportunities (i.e., job resources like job autonomy, transparency, predictability), and to lower intellectual demands (i.e., challenge demands like task complexity, problem solving). Moreover, it can be concluded that AM is related with more regulation problems (i.e., hindrance demands like overtaxing regulations) but also fewer regulation problems (like regulation obstacles, uncertainty). Based on these considerations and in line with the majority of current research, it can be assumed that the use of AM is indirectly associated with higher risks to workers' mental well-being. However, we also identify potential positive effects of AM as some stressful and demotivating obstacles at work are often mitigated. Based on these considerations, the main question of future research is not whether AM is good or bad for workers, but rather <i>how</i> work under AM can be designed to be humane.
