Abstract Drawing on linguistic ethnographic data, this study examines the language-based discriminatory experiences of skilled transnational migrants in labour market Australia. Moving beyond two main concepts ‘interlingual’ and ‘intra-lingual’ discrimination applied linguistics, article points out concept ‘translingual discrimination’, which refers to inequality based identities’ specific repe...

Audio-driven facial animation is an interesting and evolving technique for human-computer interaction. Based on an incoming audio stream, a face image is animated with full lip synchronization. This requires a speech recognition system in the language in which audio is provided to get the time alignment for the phonetic sequence of the audio signal. However, building a speech recognition system...

We present an attempt at a coherent vision of an end-to-end translingual information retrieval system. We begin by presenting a sample of the broad range of possibilities, and the results of some initial work comparing the different approaches. We then present an overall workstation architecture, followed by two possible approaches to the actual translingual IR stage presented in detail. Rankin...

We propose an induction algorithm to semi-automate grammar authoring in an interlingua-based machine translation framework. This algorithm uses a pre-existing one-way translation system from some other language to the target language as prior information to infer a grammar for the target language. We demonstrate the system’s effectiveness by automatically inducing a Chinese grammar for a weathe...

At MIT Lincoln Laboratory, we have been developing a Koreanto-English machine translation system CCLINC (Common Coalition Language System at Lincoln Laboratory). The CCLINC Korean-to-English translation system consists of two core modules, language understanding and generation modules mediated by a language neutral meaning representation called a semantic frame. The key features of the system i...
