We present a novel algorithm, architecture, and high-level Simulink prototyping for visible watermarking of MPEG-4 video streams. The watermark is inserted in the video stream during compression, resulting in an optimized compression/watermarking algorithm and system. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) watermarking, due to its robust nature, was chosen in this work to accomplish MPEG-4 video copyr...

This study explores methods for developing a large scale Quality Estimation framework for Machine Translation. We expand existing resources for Quality Estimation across related languages by using different transfer learning methods. The transfer learning methods are: Transductive SVM, Label Propagation and Self-taught Learning. We use transfer learning methods on the available labelled dataset...

OBJECTIVES To determine the frequency and severity of injuries that affect amateur runners. METHODS This study was conducted by means of a questionnaire applied to 204 amateur runners. Individuals who were under the age of 18 years and those who were unpracticed runners were excluded. The data gathered comprised the number, type, site and degree of severity of the injuries and the individuals...

Dubbing, also known as voice-overs, is the most common way of presenting the audience with the materials in a movie. As this process requires time, budget, and a team of translators, voice-overs, voice recorders, etc., producers sometimes tend to release the movies in other languages through subtitling. This is a rather easier procedure, presenting the audience with the written translated text ...

The bourgeoning and rapid evolution of cloud-based applications has triggered profound transformations in the audiovisual translation (AVT) mediascape. By drawing attention to major changes that web-based ecosystems have introduced localisation workflows, we set out outline ways which these new technological advances can be embedded AVT classroom. Along lines, present study sets explore potenti...

A system for on-line generation of closed captions (subtitles) for broadcast of live TV-programs is described. During broadcast, a commentator formulates a possibly condensed, but semantically correct version of the original speech. These compressed phrases are recognized by a continuous speech recognizer, and the resulting captions are fed into the teletext system. This application will provid...
