Machine Learning for Managers

Machine Learning in Translation

Machine Learning in Translation

Machine Learning in Translation introduces machine learning (ML) theories and technologies that are most relevant to translation processes approaching the topic from a human perspective and emphasizing that ML and ML-driven technologies are tools for humans. Providing an exploration of the common ground between human and machine learning and of the nature of translation that leverages this new dimension this book helps linguists translators and localizers better find their added value in a ML-driven translation environment. Part One explores how humans and machines approach the problem of translation in their own particular ways in terms of word embeddings chunking of larger meaning units and prediction in translation based upon the broader context. Part Two introduces key tasks including machine translation translation quality assessment and quality estimation and other Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks in translation. Part Three focuses on the role of data in both human and machine learning processes. It proposes that a translator’s unique value lies in the capability to create manage and leverage language data in different ML tasks in the translation process. It outlines new knowledge and skills that need to be incorporated into traditional translation education in the machine learning era. The book concludes with a discussion of human-centered machine learning in translation stressing the need to empower translators with ML knowledge through communication with ML users developers and programmers and with opportunities for continuous learning. This accessible guide is designed for current and future users of ML technologies in localization workflows including students on courses in translation and localization language technology and related areas. It supports the professional development of translation practitioners so that they can fully utilize ML technologies and design their own human-centered ML-driven translation workflows and NLP tasks.

Regional Innovation Potential: The Case of the U.S. Machine Tool Industry

Regional Innovation Potential: The Case of the U.S. Machine Tool Industry

This title was first published in 2000: Steven Nivin analyzes a process vital to economic development - technological change. He furthers understanding of the processes driving innovation so that we may gain a deeper insight into the development of economies. Specifically the study explores the concept of innovation potential and the factors that result in variations in innovation potential across metropolitan areas using the US machine tool industry as a case study. To provide a comparison the same models are also estimated for the semiconductor industry. The findings indicate that urbanisation economies localization economies human capital universities and invention-derived knowledge are significant factors. The study assesses the contributions of three different skill levels of human capital; college-educated graduate degree and locally produced PhD’s in mechanical and electrical engineering. Only the graduate and PhD degree measures are found to be significant indicating the importance of having a highly skilled pool of labour within the region. The influences of the factors appear to be similar across industries with some slight differences. The transfer of knowledge through patents is also studied. It is found that the transmission of this knowledge is slower between different industries relative to the transmission within the same industry. | Regional Innovation Potential: The Case of the U.

Analysing English-Arabic Machine Translation Google Translate Microsoft Translator and Sakhr

Analysing English-Arabic Machine Translation Google Translate Microsoft Translator and Sakhr

Machine Translation (MT) has become widely used throughout the world as a medium of communication between those who live in different countries and speak different languages. However translation between distant languages constitutes a challenge for machines. Therefore translation evaluation is poised to play a significant role in the process of designing and developing effective MT systems. This book evaluates three prominent MT systems including Google Translate Microsoft Translator and Sakhr each of which provides translation between English and Arabic. In the book Almahasees scrutinizes the capacity of the three systems in dealing with translation between English and Arabic in a large corpus taken from various domains including the United Nation (UN) the World Health Organization (WHO) the Arab League Petra News Agency reports and two literary texts: The Old Man and the Sea and The Prophet. The evaluation covers holistic analysis to assess the output of the three systems in terms of Translation Automation User Society (TAUS) adequacy and fluency scales. The text also looks at error analysis to evaluate the systems’ output in terms of orthography lexis grammar and semantics at the entire-text level and in terms of lexis grammar and semantics at the collocation level. The research findings contained within this volume provide important feedback about the capabilities of the three MT systems with respect to EnglishArabic translation and paves the way for further research on such an important topic. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of translation studies and translation technology. | Analysing English-Arabic Machine Translation Google Translate Microsoft Translator and Sakhr

Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing

Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing

Debates about Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) have moved on in recent years. An initial focus on the legal obligations established by international agreements like the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity and the form of obligations for collecting physical biological materials have now moved to a far more complex series of disputes and challenges about the ways ABS should be implemented and enforced: repatriation of resources technology transfer traditional knowledge and cultural expressions; open access to information and knowledge naming conventions farmers’ rights new schemes for accessing pandemic viruses and sharing DNA sequences and so on. Unfortunately most of this debate is now crystallised into apparently intractable discussions such as implementing the certificates of origin recognising traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expression as a form of intellectual property and sovereignty for Indigenous peoples. Not everything in this new marketplace of ABS has been created de novo. Like most new entrants ABS has disrupted existing legal and governance arrangements. This collection of chapters examines what is new what has been changed and what might be changed in response to the growing acceptance and prevalence of ABS of genetic resources. Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property: Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing of Genetic Resources addresses current issues arising from recent developments in the enduring and topical debates about managing genetic resources through the ABS regime. The book explores key historical doctrinal and theoretical issues in the field at the same time developing new ideas and perspectives around ABS. It shows the latest state of knowledge and will be of interest to researchers academics policymakers and students in the fields of intellectual property governance biodiversity and conservation sustainable development and agriculture. | Biodiversity Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Developments in Access and Benefit Sharing
