We present a novel algorithm, architecture, and high-level Simulink prototyping for visible watermarking of MPEG-4 video streams. The watermark is inserted in the video stream during compression, resulting in an optimized compression/watermarking algorithm and system. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) watermarking, due to its robust nature, was chosen in this work to accomplish MPEG-4 video copyr...

This study explores methods for developing a large scale Quality Estimation framework for Machine Translation. We expand existing resources for Quality Estimation across related languages by using different transfer learning methods. The transfer learning methods are: Transductive SVM, Label Propagation and Self-taught Learning. We use transfer learning methods on the available labelled dataset...

Dubbing, also known as voice-overs, is the most common way of presenting the audience with the materials in a movie. As this process requires time, budget, and a team of translators, voice-overs, voice recorders, etc., producers sometimes tend to release the movies in other languages through subtitling. This is a rather easier procedure, presenting the audience with the written translated text ...

The bourgeoning and rapid evolution of cloud-based applications has triggered profound transformations in the audiovisual translation (AVT) mediascape. By drawing attention to major changes that web-based ecosystems have introduced localisation workflows, we set out outline ways which these new technological advances can be embedded AVT classroom. Along lines, present study sets explore potenti...

A system for on-line generation of closed captions (subtitles) for broadcast of live TV-programs is described. During broadcast, a commentator formulates a possibly condensed, but semantically correct version of the original speech. These compressed phrases are recognized by a continuous speech recognizer, and the resulting captions are fed into the teletext system. This application will provid...
