Speech translation can be tackled by means of the so-called decoupled approach: a speech recognition system followed by a text translation system. The major drawback of this two-pass decoding approach lies in the fact that the translation system has to cope with the errors derived from the speech recognition system. There is hardly any cooperation between the acoustic and the translation knowle...

We propose a strongly lexicalist treatment of translation equivalence where mismatches due to diverging lexicalization patterns are dealt with by means of translation links which capture crosslinguistic generalizations across sets of semantically related lexical items. We show how this treatment can be developed within a unification-based, multilingual lexical knowledge base which is integrated...

The goal of this work is to improve current translation models by taking into account additional knowledge sources such as semantically motivated segmentation or statistical categorization. Specifically, two different approaches are discussed. On the one hand, phrase-based approach, and on the other hand, categorization. For both approaches, both statistical and linguistic alternatives are expl...

OBJECTIVE We wanted to evaluate the interface between knowledge translation theory and Indigenous knowledge. DESIGN Literature review supplemented by expert opinion was carried out. METHOD Thematic analysis to identify gaps and convergences between the two domains was done. RESULTS The theoretical and epistemological frameworks underlying Western scientific and Indigenous knowledge system...
