Within the industrial context of the information society, technical translation represents a considerable commercial stake. In the light of this, machine translation is considered as being an application of paramount importance. It is for this reason that the activities of B'VITAL have always centered around the processing of technical texts. The following article gives an account of the variou...

This paper discusses error type their possible consequences and the doctors who make them. There is no single, all-encompassing typology of medical errors. They are frequently multifactorial in origin and use from the mental processes of individuals; from defects in perception, thinking reasoning planning and interpretation and from failures of team-working omissions and poorly executed actions...

Measuring translation quality is a subjective process which relies on human judgements. This paper discusses different frameworks used in the process of translation evaluation with special focus on error classification schemes used both in the translation industry and in translation teaching institutions. Such error-based models, like BlackJack or SAE J 2450, allow human judgements to benefit f...

In this paper, the set-theoretic approach in the logical theory of normative systems is extended using Broome’s definition of the normative code function. The syntax and semantics for first order metanormative language is defined, and metanormative language is applied in the formalization of the basic principles in Broome’s approach and in the construction of a logical typology of normative sys...

Evaluation and error analysis of machine translation output are important but difficult tasks. In this article, we propose a framework for automatic error analysis and classification based on the identification of actual erroneous words using the algorithms for computation of Word Error Rate (WER) and Position-independent word Error Rate (PER), which is just a very first step towards developmen...
