This paper presents a computer-aided translation of the Cretan Hieroglyph script. The sound values of Cretan Hieroglyph symbols are identified by matching the Cretan Hieroglyph symbols to Phaistos Disk symbols with already known sound values. The matching of pairs of symbols is checked by computer software that finds numerous matches between short Cretan Hieroglyph inscriptions and the Phaistos...

Object Data Management Systems (ODMSs) are a relatively new type of information management tool. They have emerged to provide support for the management of complex data in data-intensive applications like Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Software Engineering. We develop an interface to an ODMS through the LOOPN++ programming language. LOOPN++ is based on Petri Nets and object-orientatio...

We developed caitra, a novel tool that aids human translators by (a) making suggestions for sentence completion in an interactive machine translation setting, (b) providing alternative word and phrase translations, and (c) allowing them to postedit machine translation output. The tool uses the Moses decoder, is implemented in Ruby on Rails and C++ and delivered over the web.

In European-funded project MIS under the MLIS programme, the authors attempted a computer-driven translation package for tourism texts in 5 languages. It was believed such a package would be possible due to the highly formulaic language of tourism brochures and business communication in this sector, which ought to allow translation equivalences at the phrase or sentence level to be identified a...

Recently, a growing need of Confidence Estimation (CE) for Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) systems in Computer Aided Translation (CAT), was observed. However, most of the CE toolkits are optimized for a single target language (mainly English) and, as far as we know, none of them are dedicated to this specific task and freely available. This paper presents an open-source toolkit for predic...
