Anubis - Speeding Up Computer-Aided Translation

In this paper, the idea of Computer-Aided Translation is first introduced and a modern approach to CAT is then presented. Next, we provide a more detailed description of one of the state-of-art CAT systems memoQ. Then, the author’s approach to the idea the Anubis system is described and evaluated. While Anubis is comparable to memoQ in terms of the precision of provided translation memory matches, it outperforms memoQ when it comes to the speed of searching the translation memory. In the experiments carried out, Anubis turned out to be over 430% faster than memoQ. The result was achieved thanks to the author’s algorithm of minimizing the size of translation memory index, so it can be stored in computer’s RAM memory. The paper is divided in two parts: the first describes the field of CAT, where the Anubis system can be applied. The second gives a detailed description of Anubis itself, proving its potential usefulness.
