Semantic role labeling is a crucial task in natural language processing, enabling better comprehension of natural language. However, the lack of annotated data in multiple languages has posed a challenge for researchers. To address this, a deep learning algorithm based on model transfer has been proposed. The algorithm utilizes a dataset consisting of the English portion of CoNLL2009 and a corpus of semantic roles in Persian. To optimize the efficiency of training, only ten percent of the educational data from each language is used. The results of the proposed model demonstrate significant improvements compared to Niksirt et al.'s model. In monolingual mode, the proposed model achieved a 2.05 percent improvement on F1-score, while in cross-lingual mode, the improvement was even more substantial, reaching 6.23 percent. Worth noting is that the compared model only trained two of the four stages of semantic role labeling and employed golden data for the remaining two stages. This suggests that the actual superiority of the proposed model surpasses the reported numbers by a significant margin. The development of cross-lingual methods for semantic role labeling holds promise, particularly in addressing the scarcity of annotated data for various languages. These advancements pave the way for further research in understanding and processing natural language across different linguistic contexts.

The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the emergence of new variants underscore the importance of effective screening measures. Rapid diagnosis and subsequent quarantine of infected individuals can prevent further spread of the virus in society. While PCR tests are the gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis, they are costly and time-consuming. In contrast, urine test strips are an inexpensive, non-invasive, and rapidly obtainable screening method that can provide important information about a patient's health status. In this study, we collected a new dataset and used the RGB (Red Green Blue) color space of urine test strips parameters to detect the health status of individuals. To improve the accuracy of our model, we converted the RGB space to 10 additional color spaces. After evaluating four different machine learning models, we proposed a new ensemble model based on a multi-layer perceptron neural network. Although the initial results were not strong, we were able to improve the model's screening performance for COVID-19 by removing uncertain regions of the model space. Ultimately, our model achieved a screening accuracy of 80% based on urine parameters. Our results suggest that urine test strips can be a useful tool for COVID-19 screening, particularly in resource-constrained settings where PCR testing may not be feasible. Further research is needed to validate our findings and explore the potential role of urine test strips in COVID-19 diagnosis and management.

Iran officials find wreckage of deadly plane crash
Iran has located the wreckage of a passenger plane that went down in a mountainous part of the country earlier this week, killing all 65 people on board. A military drone was used to locate the crash site, and two helicopters were then dispatched to the snow-covered scene, Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesman Ramezan Sharif told Iran's state television on Tuesday. "The plane had hit the top of the mountain before crashing 30 metres further down," Sharif said. The Aseman Airlines plane went down in the Zagros Mountains range in central Iran on Sunday during a domestic flight from the Iranian capital, Tehran, to the southwestern city of Yasuj. It had been carrying 59 passengers and six crew members, all of whom died in the crash, according to Iran's state-run Press TV.
