setting standards for translation assessment has usually been problematic for authorities, theoreticians, and most commonly instructors. it is often difficult to tell the difference between translation evaluation, criticism, and assessment due to hardships of bridging the gap between theory and practice. the aim of this study was to create a rubric against which translations could be assessed. ...

Boosting is a general method for improving the accuracy of a given learning algorithm under certain restrictions. In this work, AdaBoost, one of the most popular boosting algorithms, is adapted and applied to statistical machine translation. The appropriateness of this technique in this scenario is evaluated on a real translation task. Results from preliminary experiments confirm that statistic...

Recent research on multilingual statistical machine translation focuses on the usage of pivot languages in order to overcome resource limitations for certain language pairs. Due to the richness of available language resources, English is in general the pivot language of choice. In this paper, we investigate the appropriateness of Asian languages as pivot languages. Experimental results using st...

Through qualitative approach, author explores readers' aesthetic responses translation, covering elements such as beauty language, approp...

State-of-the-art machine translation techniques are still far from producing high quality translations. This drawback leads us to introduce an alternative approach to the translation problem that brings human expertise into the machine translation scenario. In this framework, namely Computer Assisted Translation (CAT), human translators interact with a translation system, as an assistance tool,...
