Expanding Translation Memories: Proposal and Evaluation of Several Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Translation memories used in Computer-aided translation (CAT) systems are the highest-quality resources of parallel texts since they are carefully prepared and checked by professional human translators. On the other hand, they are quite small when compared with other parallel data sources. In this paper, we propose several methods for expanding translation memories using both language-independent and languagespecific, linguistically motivated approaches with regard to preserving their high translational accuracy. We first briefly describe the methods and then we provide a detailed description and preliminary evaluation for two of them.

Increasing Coverage of Translation Memories with Linguistically Motivated Segment Combination Methods
Translation memories (TMs) used in computer-aided translation (CAT) systems are the highest-quality source of parallel texts since they consist of segment translation pairs approved by professional human translators. The obvious problem is their size and coverage of new document segments when compared with other parallel data. In this paper, we describe several methods for expanding translation...

These sub-disciplines have increased our understanding of the critical success factors associated with the uptake of research ev...
متن کاملAppraisal Theory in Translation Studies: An Introduction and Review of Studies of Evaluation in Translation
Translation studies (TS), as a young (inter)discipline, has partly relied on metadiscussions, critical assessments of its literature, and compilation of bibliographies to deal with certain problems of its youth, such as polarity and fragmentation. While the current status of TS shows general maturity, there are still young areas of inquiry in the discipline that are faced with similar issues. T...

متن کاملOn the annotation of TMX translation memories for advanced leveraging in computer-aided translation
The term advanced leveraging refers to extensions beyond the current usage of translation memory (TM) in computer-aided translation (CAT). One of these extensions is the ability to identify and use matches on the sub-segment level — for instance, using sub-sentential elements when segments are sentences— to help the translator when a reasonable fuzzy-matched proposal is not available; some such...
