Machine Translation (MT) is being deployed for a range of use-cases by millions of people on a daily basis. There should, therefore, be no doubt as to the utility of MT. However, not everyone is convinced that MT can be useful, especially as a productivity enhancer for human translators. In this chapter, I address this issue, describing how MT is currently deployed, how its output is evaluated ...

according to the importance of positron emitters in nuclear medicine, 82mrb was produced as a member of this group of radiopharmaceuticals. after being converted into an injectable form, enough information was provided for imaging with this radiopharmaceutical. 82mrb with high radioisotopic purity and half-life of 6.5 hours, in chloride form, can be considered as a suitable positron emitter for...

At the EMBO Conference on 'Protein Synthesis and Translational Control' held in Heidelberg in September 2011, scientists shared their latest findings on the structure and function of the ribosome, mRNA-specific regulation of translation and the numerous quality control mechanisms that ensure accurate protein synthesis.

Word alignment is the basis of statistical machine translation. GIZA++ is a popular tool for producing word alignments and translation models. It uses a set of parameters that affect the quality of word alignments and translation models. These parameters exist to overcome some problems such as overfitting. This paper addresses the problem of tuning GIZA++ parameter for better translation qualit...

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...

Diverse cellular stressors have been observed to trigger site-specific ubiquitination on several ribosomal proteins. However, the ubiquitin ligases, biochemical consequences, and physiologic pathways linked to these modifications are not known. Here, we show in mammalian cells that the ubiquitin ligase ZNF598 is required for ribosomes to terminally stall during translation of poly(A) sequences....

This work deals with the application of confidence measures within an interactivepredictive machine translation system in order to reduce human effort. If a small loss in translation quality can be tolerated for the sake of efficiency, user effort can be saved by interactively translating only those initial translations which the confidence measure classifies as incorrect. We apply confidence e...

Cross-language document summarization is a task of producing a summary in one language for a document set in a different language. Existing methods simply use machine translation for document translation or summary translation. However, current machine translation services are far from satisfactory, which results in that the quality of the cross-language summary is usually very poor, both in re...

Machine translation (MT) quality is evaluated through comparisons between MT outputs and the human translations (HT). Traditionally, this evaluation relies on form related features (e.g. lexicon and syntax) and ignores the transfer of meaning reflected in HT outputs. Instead, we evaluate the quality of MT outputs through meaning related features (e.g. polarity, subjectivity) with two experiment...
