Machine translation (MT) is a process whereby a computer program analyzes a source text and, in principle, produces a target text without human intervention. In reality, however, machine translation typically does involve human intervention, in the form of pre-editing and post-editing. [ 97]
Simultaneous interpretation. Simultaneous interpretation (SI) is when an interpreter translates the message from the source language to the target language in real-time. [ 1] Unlike in consecutive interpreting, this way the natural flow of the speaker is not disturbed and allows for a fairly smooth output for the listeners.
Network neutrality, often referred to as net neutrality, is the principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) must treat all Internet communications equally, offering users and online content providers consistent transfer rates regardless of content, website, platform, application, type of equipment, source address, destination address, or method of communication (i.e., without price ...
Distance education, also known as distance learning, is the education of students who may not always be physically present at school, [ 1][ 2] or where the learner and the teacher are separated in both time and distance. [ 3] Traditionally, this usually involved correspondence courses wherein the student corresponded with the school via mail.
Technical translation is a type of specialized translation involving the translation of documents produced by technical writers ( owner's manuals, user guides, etc.), or more specifically, texts which relate to technological subject areas or texts which deal with the practical application of scientific and technological information.
Optical mark recognition (OMR) is the scanning of paper to detect the presence or absence of a mark in a predetermined position. [ 5] Optical mark recognition has evolved from several other technologies. In the early 19th century and 20th century patents were given for machines that would aid the blind. [ 3]
Statistical machine translation. Statistical machine translation ( SMT) was a machine translation approach, that superseded the previous, rule-based approach because it required explicit description of each and every linguistic rule, which was costly, and which often did not generalize to other languages. Since 2003, the statistical approach ...
Artificial intelligence (AI), in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems.It is a field of research in computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and use learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals.
