extended abstract 1. introduction according to toury (1995), translation is a norm-based behavior. in the course of their direct and indirect trainings, translators familiarize themselves with the linguistic, cultural and social norms which are used by the contemporary translators and later, as professional translators, use them consciously or unconsciously in their translations. in other words...

Portability is an important issue to the viability of a domainspecific translation approach. This paper describes an English to Chinese translation system for flight-domain queries, utilizing an interlingua translation framework that has been successfully applied in the weather domain. Portability of various components is tested, and new technologies to handle parse ambiguities and illformed in...

This research looks at the effects of segment order and segmentation on translation retrieval performance for an experimental Japanese–English translation memory system. We implement a number of both bag-of-words and segment-ordersensitive string comparison methods, and test each over character-based and wordbased indexing using n-grams of various orders. To evaluate accuracy, we propose an aut...

This work summarizes a comparison between two approaches to Statistical Machine Translation (SMT), namely Ngram-based and Phrase-based SMT. In both approaches, the translation process is based on bilingual units related by word-to-word alignments (pairs of source and target words), while the main differences are based on the extraction process of these units and the statistical modeling of the ...

multi-part words in english language are hyphenated and hyphen is used to separate different parts. persian language consists of multi-part words as well. based on persian morphology, half-space character is needed to separate parts of multi-part words where in many cases people incorrectly use space character instead of half-space character. this common incorrectly use of space leads to some s...

Rapid and accurate translation of the genetic code into protein is fundamental to life. Yet due to lack of a suitable assay, little is known about the accuracy-determining parameters and their correlation with translational speed. Here, we develop such an assay, based on Mg(2+) concentration changes, to determine maximal accuracy limits for a complete set of single-mismatch codon-anticodon inte...

This paper describes the details about the NAIST-NICT machine translation system for WAT2017 English-Japanese Scientific Paper Translation Task. The system consists of a language-independent tokenizer and an attentional encoder-decoder style neural machine translation model. According to the official results, our system achieves higher translation accuracy than any systems submitted previous ca...
