Explicit discourse connectives in a source language text are not always translated to comparable words or phrases in the target language. The paper provides a corpus analysis and a method for semi-automatic detection of such cases. Results show that discou ...
The correct translation of verb tenses ensures that the temporal ordering of events in the source text is maintained in the target text. This paper assesses the utility of automatically labeling English Simple Past verbs with a binary discursive feature, n ...
The various meanings of discourse connectives like while and however are difficult to identify and annotate, even for trained human annotators. This problem is all the more important that connectives are salient textual markers of cohesion and need to be c ...
Translation studies rely more and more on corpus data to examine specificities of translated texts, that can be translated from different original languages and compared to original texts. In parallel, more and more multilingual corpora are becoming availa ...
The evaluation of errors made by Machine Translation (MT) systems still needs human effort despite the fact that there are automated MT evaluation tools, such as the BLEU metric. Moreover, assuming that there would be tools that support humans in this tran ...
Inter-sentential dependencies such as discourse connectives or pronouns have an impact on the translation of these items. These dependencies have classically been analyzed within complex theoretical frameworks, often monolingual ones, and the resulting fin ...
Machine Translation (MT) has progressed tremendously in the past two decades. The rule-based and interlingua approaches have been superseded by statistical models, which learn the most likely translations from large parallel corpora. System design does not ...

There has been much discussion in the literature regarding the determinants of ribosomal decoding speed during the mRNA translation process. Computational results based on mechanistic models for ribosomal kinetics have predicted a major role for near-cogna ...
Languages like F#, C#, and recently also Scala, provide “async” extensions which aim to make asynchronous programming easier by avoiding an inversion of control that is inherent in traditional callback-based programming models (for the purpose of this pape ...
We propose a method to automatically translate a pre-existing activity recognition system, devised for a source sensor domain S, so that it can operate on a newly discovered target sensor domain T , possibly of different modality. First, we use MIMO system ...
