Introduction: Although the translation and validation of McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI-BPD) are performed in various languages samples, no study has established validity reliability Urdu version MSI-BPD individuals with cardiac problems. Materials Methods: The was prepared through standard back-translation method. adaption were completed four steps: forwar...

Objectives: Within the context of Health-Related Quality of Life studies, it was necessary to translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the SF-12 Health Survey version 2. The aim of this study was to investigate the factorial structure, convergent validity and reliability of this instrument in a healthy Iranian sample, following translation and establishment of content and face vali...

We introduce a lexicalized reordering model for hierarchical phrase-based machine translation. The model scores monotone, swap, and discontinuous phrase orientations in the manner of the one presented by Tillmann (2004). While this type of lexicalized reordering model is a valuable and widely-used component of standard phrase-based statistical machine translation systems (Koehn et al., 2007), i...

A statistical machine translation (SMT) system requires homogeneous training data in order to get domain-sensitive (or context-sensitive) terminology translations. If the data consists of various domains, it is difficult for an SMT system to learn context-sensitive terminology mappings probabilistically. Yet, terminology translation accuracy is an important issue for MT users. This paper explor...

This paper presents a reordering model using syntactic information of a source tree for phrase-based statistical machine translation. The proposed model is an extension of ISTITG (imposing source tree on inversion transduction grammar) constraints. In the proposed method, the target-side word order is obtained by rotating nodes of the source-side parse-tree. We modeled the node rotation, monoto...

BACKGROUND An instrument was developed in Canada to assess impairments related to oral functioning of individuals with four years of age or older with Down syndrome (DS). The present study attempted to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the instrument for the Brazilian Portuguese language and to test its reliability and validity. FINDINGS After translation and cross-cul...
