Alongside increasing use of Machine Translation (MT) in translator workflows, Translation Memory (TM) continues to be a valuable tool providing complementary functionality, and is a technology that has evolved in recent years, in particular with developments around subsegment recall that attempt to leverage more content from TM data than segment-level fuzzy matching. But how fit-for-purpose is ...

Given a continued fraction, we construct a certain function that is discontinuous at every rational number p/q. We call this discontinuity the “gap”. We then try to characterize the gap sizes, and find, to the first order, the size is 1/q2, and that, for higher orders, the gap appears to be perfectly ’randomly’ distributed, in that it is Cauchy-dense on the unit square, and thus, this function ...

The twin prime conjecture states that there are infinitely many pairs of distinct primes which differ by 2. Until recently this conjecture had seemed to be out of reach with current techniques. However, in 2013, the author proved that there are infinitely many pairs of distinct primes which differ by no more than B with B = 7 · 107. The value of B has been considerably improved by Polymath8 (a ...

In knowledge acquisition, one typically encounters two difficult situations: First, there are times when the system requests information that, due to a lack of information, the user is not in a position to provide at the level of precision requested. Second, there are situations where the system cannot capture information at the level of precision the user wishes to provide. We describe the tec...
