This paper investigates to what extent the use of paraphrasing in translation memory (TM) matching and retrieval is useful for human translators. Current translation memories lack semantic knowledge like paraphrasing in matching and retrieval. Due to this, paraphrased segments are often not retrieved. Lack of semantic knowledge also results in inappropriate ranking of the retrieved segments. Gu...

This paper addresses the problem of reliably measuring productivity gains by professional translators working with a machine translation enhanced computer assisted translation tool. In particular, we report on a field test we carried out with a commercial CAT tool in which translation memory matches were supplemented with suggestions from a commercial machine translation engine. The field test ...

The usefulness of translation quality estimation (QE) to increase productivity in a computer-assisted translation (CAT) framework is a widely held assumption (Specia, 2011; Huang et al., 2014). So far, however, the validity of this assumption has not been yet demonstrated through sound evaluations in realistic settings. To this aim, we report on an evaluation involving professional translators ...

Automatically generating program translators from source and target language specifications is a non-trivial problem. In this paperwe focus on the problem of automating the process of building translators between operations languages, a family of DSLs used to program satellite operations procedures. We exploit their similarities to semi-automatically build transformation tools between these DSL...
