The increasing impact of audiovisual media and film industry in particular has led researchers to think of audiovisual translation strategies. Huge investments in film industry need global markets. Hence, there is a need for qualified translations and systematic studies dedicated to this area are in great demand. This study aims to investigate translation strategies adopted in the translation o...

For native English-speaking teachers, the ability to overcome communication issues caused by not having same first language as their pupils is a challenge, especially with low-level students. The increased use of video lectures due COVD-19 has made this even more difficult. This study was conducted investigate whether Artificial Intelligence-powered interlingual Simultaneous Speech Translation ...

This paper describes the data collection, annotation and sharing activities carried out within the FP7 EU-funded SAVAS project. The project aims to collect, share and reuse audiovisual language resources from broadcasters and subtitling companies to develop large vocabulary continuous speech recognisers in specific domains and new languages, with the purpose of solving the automated subtitling ...

We present a modular video subtitling platform that integrates speech/non-speech segmentation, speaker diarisation, language identification, Dutch speech recognition with state-of-the-art acoustic models and language models optimised for efficient subtitling, appropriate preand postprocessing of the data and alignment of the final result with the video fragment. Moreover, the system is able to ...

to investigate the effect of three modes of subtitling on vocabulary recognition, 97 participants in three groups at imam khomeini international university in qazvin were presented with the same film but using different ways of subtitling. to compare the participants' vocabulary recognition, a one-way anova was run. results indicated that although the difference between the bimodal and sta...

In this paper we present a system for translating named-entities from Basque to English using Wikipedia’s knowledge. We can exploit interlingual links from Wikipedia (WIL) to get named-entity translation, but entities without interlingual links can be translated using the Wikipedia as a corpus, suggesting new interlingual links. In this second case the interlingual links can be used as a test c...

Subtitling of live broadcast news is a very important application to meet the needs of deaf and hard of hearing people. However, live subtitling is a high cost operation in terms of qualification human resources and thus, money if high precision is desired. Automatic Speech Recognition researchers can help to perform this task saving both time and money developing systems that delivers subtitle...

Mapping documents into an interlingual representation can help bridge the language barrier of a cross-lingual corpus. Previous approaches use aligned documents as training data to learn an interlingual representation, making them sensitive to the domain of the training data. In this paper, we learn an interlingual representation in an unsupervised manner using only a bilingual dictionary. We fi...

This article presents an overview of the main findings of an interdisciplinary research project carried out by scholars from a department of translation and interpreting, a department of communication science and a department of linguistics. The project investigated Dutch open subtitling of native speakers of either northern Dutch or a Flemish (regional) variant of Dutch on Flemish television. ...
