In a collaborative computer-supported engineering environment, the interoperation of various applications will need a representation that goes beyond the current geometry-based representation, which is inadequate for capturing semantic information. The primary purpose of this study is to discuss a semantically based information exchange protocol that will facilitate seamless interoperability am...

The study of lexical semantics has produced a systematic analysis of relationships between content words that has greatly bene ted both lexical search tools and natural language processing systems. We describe research toward a common algorithmic core for these two applications. We rst introduce a database system called FreeNet that facilitates the description and exploration nite binary relati...

In this article, a learner-centered pedagogical process for scaffolding deliberate use of MT is presented with the goal promoting student agency and personal expression. By developing awareness that translations entail contextually-sensitive options, students learn to critically assess different forms while actively engaging translation software. Grounded within SLA research on interaction nego...

This paper describes methods for integrating source language and target language information for machine aided human translation (MAHT) of text documents. These methods are applied to a language translation task involving a human translator dictating a first draft translation of a source language document. A method is presented which integrates target language automatic speech recognition (ASR)...

By using more complexity automobile products, the quantities of requirements to the development process are largely placed. The concept of this work aims to minimize the costing and development times, and to increase the quality of products. The efficient reuse of knowledge in the early development phases requires the support of a template based explicit, structured and consistent model. This m...
