Translating Ferron, Ferron Translating: Thoughts on an Example of "Translation Within"

An Example-Based Approach to Translating Sign Language

Users of sign languages are often forced to use a language in which they have reduced competence simply because documentation in their preferred format is not available. While some research exists on translating between natural and sign languages, we present here what we believe to be the first attempt to tackle this problem using an example-based (EBMT) approach. Having obtained a set of Engli...

Translating Phrases in Neural Machine Translation

Phrases play an important role in natural language understanding and machine translation (Sag et al., 2002; Villavicencio et al., 2005). However, it is difficult to integrate them into current neural machine translation (NMT) which reads and generates sentences word by word. In this work, we propose a method to translate phrases in NMT by integrating a phrase memory storing target phrases from ...

Translating Thoughts Into Actions by Finding Patterns in Brainwaves

Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is often used to project high-dimensional signals to lower dimensional subspaces defined by basis vectors that maximize the variance of the projected signals. Data containing variations of relatively short duration and small magnitude, such as those seen in EEG signals, may not be captured by PCA when applied to time series of long duration. Here, PCA is appl...

Translating DVD subtitles from English-German and English-Japanese using Example-Based Machine Translation

Due to limited budgets and an ever-diminishing time-frame for the production of subtitles for movies released in cinema and DVD, there is a compelling case for a technology-based translation solution for subtitles (O’Hagan, 2003; Carroll, 2004; Gambier, 2005). In this paper we describe how an Example-Based Machine Translation (EBMT) approach to the translation of English DVD subtitles into Germ...
