Evaluation of the communicative efficacy of a website is important in the context of an organization communication strategy. To address this issue, we propose a systematic method and a tool that supports it. The tool is based on a general-purpose semantic annotation framework. The application and feasibility of the method are introduced through a case study where it was used to compare the comm...

In hierarchical phrase-based translation, coarse-grained nonterminal Xs may generate inappropriate translations due to the lack of sufficient information for phrasal substitution. In this paper we propose a framework to refine nonterminals in hierarchical translation rules with real-valued semantic representations. The semantic representations are learned via a weighted mean value and a minimum...

abstractthis study investigates ‘repetition’ in the english translation of the arabic novel, adrift on the nile (1993). it aims to explore the communicative functions of ‘repetition’ and to see if these functions have been maintained or lost in the process of translating the novel. in addition, it seeks to find the translation strategies used in rendering ‘repetition’. to achieve this aim, a de...

This paper describes an ISO project developing an international standard for annotating dialogue with semantic information, in particular concerning the communicative functions of the utterances, the kind of content they address, and the dependency relations to what was said and done earlier in the dialogue. The project, registered as ISO 24617-2 Semantic annotation framework, Part 2: Dialogue ...

This paper is to challenge the basic assumptions about ‘meaning’ in the current technologies for the Semantic Web including RDF(S). The contextual and communicative aspects should not be ignored in the use of language. In this paper, therefore, the intensional semantics of the Semantic Web is examined along with conceptualist semantics as an alternative framework.

We observe that (1) it is difficult to combine transliteration and meaning translation when transforming named entities (NE); and (2) there are different translation variations in NE translation, due to different semantic information. From this basis, we propose a novel semantic-specific NE translation model, which automatically incorporates the global context from corpus in order to capture su...

Semantic parsing, the task of mapping natural language sentences to logical forms, has recently played an important role in building natural language interfaces and question answering systems. In this talk, I will present three ways in which semantic parsing relates to machine translation: First, semantic parsing can be viewed *as* a translation task with many of the familiar issues, e.g., dive...
