A crucial problem in rule-based machine translation is the acquisition of translation knowledge. Many studies have been conducted for automatic acquisition in the past, but they require a great deal of annotated examples. In this paper, we describe a semi-automatic acquisition from translation examples in Japanese-Chinese environment. Whenever necessary, the process interacts with a user (a lin...

Background While evidence-based practice is a familiar concept to allied health clinicians, knowledge translation (KT) is less well known and understood. The need for a framework that enables allied health clinicians to access and engage with KT was identified. The aim of this paper is to describe the development of the Translating Allied Health Knowledge (TAHK) Framework.   M...

This paper presents an innovative research resulting in the English-Lithuanian statistical factored phrase-based machine translation system with a spatial ontology. The system is based on the Moses toolkit and is enriched with semantic knowledge inferred from the spatial ontology. The ontology was developed on the basis of the GeoNames database (more than 15 000 toponyms), implemented in the we...

regarding the role and importance of paradigm of evidence based practice and its remarkable impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of clinical services and healthcare, development of an integrated system seems necessary in order to manage dispersed data and ensure using evidence in clinical decision making, thus the aim of this study was designing a model for implementing national system of...

Background: Combined Liver and Kidney Transplantation (CLKT) is a recognized treatment option for a select group of paediatric patients with severe liver and kidney disease. The aim of this study is to report Indication and outcome of CLKT in our center and to compare the results with the Isolated Kidney Transplantation (IKT). Patients and method: We retrospectively reviewed children who underw...

The approach to multilingual lexical representation developed as part of the ACQUILEX Lexical Knowledge Base (LKB) discussed with specific reference to complex translation equivalence. The treatment described provides a lexicalist account of translation mismatches in terms of translation links which capture cross-linguistic generalizations across sets of semantically related lexical items, and ...

Eine Grundbedingung für den Aufbau von Smart Grids ist die Verlässlichkeit der zugrundeliegenden IKT-Infrastruktur. Aus rechtlicher Sicht muss diese eichrechtskonform und im Hinblick auf die Vielzahl der elektronischen Transaktionen auch möglichst beweissicher aufgebaut werden. Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Integration von Elektrofahrzeugen in den künftigen Energiemarkt werden allgemein...
