BACKGROUND It is important for physicians to recognize and address potential cross-cultural communication barriers with their patients. Several studies have demonstrated the importance of trained medical interpreters for ensuring effective patient-provider communication. Medical interpreters also represent an untapped source of insight into common communication problems. Such insights can contr...

The paper [EG03b] deals with two methods, which are used to reduce mispredictions of indirect branches in virtual machine interpreters. Interpreters designed for efficiency can spent a lot of their execution time recovering from misprediction of indirect branches. Branch target buffers is a common method of reducing mispredictions, however the accuracy of this method in existing interpreters is...

How do interpreters manage to cope with the adverse effects of concurrent articulation while trying to comprehend the message in the source language? In Experiments 1–3, we explored three possible working memory (WM) functions that may underlie the ability to simultaneously comprehend and produce in the interpreters: WM storage capacity, coordination and word knowledge. In Experiments 1 and 2, ...

The present study made an effort to analyze the effect of cross-cultural factors on interpretation by concentration religious expressions as one main challenges in translation holy books and texts. Interpreters' strategies such adaptation, explanation omission confront this difficult task were analyzed well. To conduct study, researchers selected 50 common Iranian culture which used political c...

Context: This paper presents the concept of open programming language interpreters, a model to support them and a prototype implementation in the Neverlang framework for modular development of programming languages. Inquiry: We address the problem of dynamic interpreter adaptation to tailor the interpreter’s behaviour on the task to be solved and to introduce new features to fulfil unforeseen r...

To introduce the republication of “Definitional Interpreters for Higher-Order Programming Languages”, the author recounts the circumstances of its creation, clarifies several obscurities, corrects a few mistakes, and briefly summarizes some more recent developments.

Programming by Example (PBE) is the task of inducing computer programs from input-output examples. It can be seen as a type of machine learning where the hypothesis space is the set of legal programs in some programming language. Recent work on differentiable interpreters relaxes the discrete space of programs into a continuous space so that search over programs can be performed using gradient-...
