We present 27 problems encountered in automating the translation of movie/TV show subtitles. We categorize each problem in one of the three categories viz. problems directly related to textual translation, problems related to subtitle creation guidelines, and problems due to adaptability of machine translation (MT) eng…

DeepSubQE estimates translation quality for subtitles, improving on existing methods.

Re-speaking is a mechanism for obtaining high quality subtitles for use in live broadcast and other public events. Because it relies on humans performing the actual re-speaking, the task of estimating the quality of the results is non-trivial. Most organisations rely on humans to perform the actual quality assessment, …

This paper proposes a method to gain extra supervision via multi-task learning for multi-modal video question answering. Multi-modal video question answering is an important task that aims at the joint understanding of vision and language. However, establishing large scale dataset for multi-modal video question answeri…

We present a novel language adaptable spell checking system which detects spelling errors and suggests context sensitive corrections in real-time. We show that our system can be extended to new languages with minimal language-specific processing. Available literature majorly discusses spell checkers for English but the…

Discovering content and stories in movies is one of the most important concepts in multimedia content research studies. Network models have proven to be an efficient choice for this purpose. When an audience watches a movie, they usually compare the characters and the relationships between them. For this reason, most o…

The authors of (Cho et al., 2014a) have shown that the recently introduced neural network translation systems suffer from a significant drop in translation quality when translating long sentences, unlike existing phrase-based translation systems. In this paper, we propose a way to address this issue by automatically se…

Study on rigidity of translating hypersurfaces not in graphical direction.

The natural automorphism group of a translation surface is its group of translations. For finite translation surfaces of genus g > 1 the order of this group is naturally bounded in terms of g due to a Riemann-Hurwitz formula argument. In analogy with classical Hurwitz surfaces, we call surfaces which achieve the maxima…

Researchers classify and describe $K^α$-translators in Euclidean space.

Study on stable translation lengths of surface homeomorphisms and their approximations.

The quality of machine translation is rapidly evolving. Today one can find several machine translation systems on the web that provide reasonable translations, although the systems are not perfect. In some specific domains, the quality may decrease. A recently proposed approach to this domain is neural machine translat…

Study measures gender bias in machine translation using multiple reference points.

In this research, we have established, through empirical testing, a law that relates the number of translating hops to translation accuracy in sequential machine translation in Google Translate. Both accuracy and size decrease with the number of hops; the former displays a decrease closely following a power law. Such a…

This paper uses LLMs and cycle consistency for better machine translation evaluation.

Word translation is a problem in machine translation that seeks to build models that recover word level correspondence between languages. Recent approaches to this problem have shown that word translation models can learned with very small seeding dictionaries, and even without any starting supervision. In this paper w…

In this article we prove two non-existence results for translating solitons of the mean curvature flow (translators for short) in $\mathbb{R}^{m+1}$. We also obtain an upper bound to the maximum height that a compact embedded translator in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ can achieve. On the other hand, we study graphical perturbation…

Neural machine translation is a recently proposed approach to machine translation. Unlike the traditional statistical machine translation, the neural machine translation aims at building a single neural network that can be jointly tuned to maximize the translation performance. The models proposed recently for neural ma…

The quality of neural machine translation can be improved by leveraging additional monolingual resources to create synthetic training data. Source-side monolingual data can be (forward-)translated into the target language for self-training; target-side monolingual data can be back-translated. It has been widely reporte…

African languages are numerous, complex and low-resourced. The datasets required for machine translation are difficult to discover, and existing research is hard to reproduce. Minimal attention has been given to machine translation for African languages so there is scant research regarding the problems that arise when …

Neural machine translation (NMT) is a recent and effective technique which led to remarkable improvements in comparison of conventional machine translation techniques.

We study volume growth, entropy and stability for translating solitons of mean curvature flow. First, we prove that every complete properly immersed translator has at least linear volume growth. Then, by using Huisken's monotonicity formula, we compute the entropy of the grim reaper and the bowl solitons. We also give …
