construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Parametric Empirical Bayes Test and Its Application to Selection of Wavelet Threshold

In this article, we propose a new method for selecting level dependent threshold in wavelet shrinkage using the empirical Bayes framework. We employ both Bayesian and frequentist testing hypothesis instead of point estimation method. The best test yields the best prior and hence the more appropriate wavelet thresholds. The standard model functions are used to illustrate the performance of the p...

Application of Bayes’ Theorem to Muon Track Reconstruction in Amanda

Abstract The AMANDA neutrino telescope detects neutrinos by observing Cherenkov light from secondary leptons produced in charged current neutrino interactions. At lower energies, a background of penetrating muons approximately times as numerous as neutrino-induced muon events is rejected by looking for muons travelling upward through the earth. Because the detector is designed to maximize effec...

Bayes risk decoding and its application to system combination

Speech recognition is the task of converting an acoustic signal, which contains speech, to written text. The error of a speech recognition system is measured in the number of words in which the recognized and the spoken text differ. This work investigates and develops decoding and system combination approaches within the Bayes risk decoding framework with the objective of reducing the number of...
