Focused on dubbing and subtitling, the aim of the proposed article is to cover relevant matters of audiovisual translation theory and practice in 21st century Slovakia and to discuss the reality of the professional milieu and its broader sociocultural consequences in Slovakia. This might support an increase in the quality of translated products and emphasise the importance of further academic r...

This paper deals with speaker adaptation techniques well suited for the task of online subtitling. Two methods are briefly discussed, namely MAP adaptation and fMLLR. The main emphasis is laid on the description of improvements involved in the process of adaptation subject to the time requirements. Since the adaptation data are gathered continuously, simple modifications of the accumulated stat...

We have proposed and evaluated a novel approach for online speaker adaptation of an acoustic model based on face recognition. Instead of traditionally used audio-based speaker identification we investigated the video modality for the task of speaker detection. A simulated on-line transcription created by a Large-Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) system for online subtitling is ev...

This paper describes the system currently under development at CRIM whose aim is to provide real-time closed captioning of live TV broadcast news in Canadian French. This project is done in collaboration with TVA Network, a national TV broadcaster and the RQST (a Québec association which promotes the use of subtitling). The automated closed-captioning system will use CRIM’s transducer-based lar...

The paper deals with training of speaker-clustered acoustic models. Various training techniques Maximum Likelihood, Discriminative Training and two adaptation based on the MAP and Discriminative MAP were tested in order to minimize an impact of speaker changes to the correct function of the recognizer when a response of the automatic cluster detector is delayed or incorrect. Such situation is v...

Since its emergence as a respectable scientific discipline nearly a half century ago, the electromagnetic Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has been dominated by three classes of practitioners: government agencies, academic institutions, and nonprofit organizations surviving on a combination of private contributions and research grants. Recent technological advances have brought ...

translating and translation are transformed with information and communication technology (ict). within three decades, a new work environment is shaking up the translator’s world. new types of translators are emerging. the balance between supply and demand is changing. however, we need adequate tools and methods to investigate the new hierarchy which has become established between translators, ...

In 2005, Germany introduced a new Amateur Radio Ordinance prohibiting encrypted radio traffic at home. Crypto-bans can be circumvented using steganography. However, present steganographic methods are not eligible because the embedded message will not survive the usual distortions in a radio transmission. Robust as current watermarking methods are, they leave clearly detectable traces and have a...

BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is predominant in young male athletes, but not much is known about gait differences in cases of increased hip alpha angles. In our study, the hip alpha angle of Nötzli of soccer players was quantified on the basis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with axial oblique sequences. The aim of the current study was to compare the rearfoot motion and pla...
