This article describes a large-scale evaluation of the use of Statistical Machine Translation for professional subtitling. The work was carried out within the FP7 EU-funded project SUMAT and involved two rounds of evaluation: a quality evaluation and a measure of productivity gain/loss. We present the SMT systems built for the project and the corpora they were trained on, which combine professi...

Focusing on 48 Chinese films made by the representatives of fifth- and sixth-generation directors (i.e. Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jia Zhangke Feng Xiaogang), this paper reveals: (1) These directors’ preferences for themes with locality are related to popularity local literature except their nostalgia hometowns; (2) The overseas distribution these cannot be separated from support state policies, ...

This paper presents the virtual speech cuer built in the context of the ARTUS project aiming at watermarking hand and face gestures of a virtual animated agent in a broadcasted audiovisual sequence. For deaf televiewers that master cued speech, the animated agent can be then superimposed on demand and at the reception on the original broadcast as an alternative to subtitling. The paper presents...

This paper presents the virtual speech cuer built in the context of the ARTUS project aiming at watermarking hand and face gestures of a virtual animated agent in a broadcasted audiovisual sequence. For deaf televiewers that master cued speech, the animated agent can be then incrusted on demand and at the reception in the original broadcast as an alternative to subtitling. The paper presents th...

Focusing on contemporary Taiwanese popular culture, this paper delineates how the subtitling of a Korean music video has become a battlefield on which meanings are poached through punning in the process of translation. It contextualises Korean popular culture as one of the dominant genres in Taiwan and introduces ‘Sorry Sorry,’ a chart topper by Super Junior. In the specific social, cultural, p...

alzheimer’s disease (ad) is a uniquely human disorder. although the pathogenesis of ad is not fully understood, growing evidence indicates that the deposition of beta-amyloid (aβ) and the local reactions of various cell types to this protein play major roles in the development of the disease. in the present study transgenic mice expressing mutant amyloid precursor protein (app) has been used. t...

This paper applies and evaluates a semi-automatically acquired Mandarin Chinese verb lexicon (Olsen et al., 1998) with respect to translation of English and Chinese verbs in a UNESCO text (Otero, 1997). I demonstrate how Lexical Conceptual Structure templates allow the same semantic structure to apply both to verbs that connate thematic roles in with the verbal meaning, and those with thematic ...

Given a spatial expression, or its computational semantic form, how is the expression’s spatial semantics to be allocated lexically, i.e., among entries in the lexicon? In interlingua-based machine translation (MT) research, lexical allocation is the problem of allocating or subdividing a linguistic expression’s full interlingual (IL) structure into the substructures that are lexical IL forms, ...
