Imagined Common Ground: Rethinking on Language, Translation and Technology
… and our inability to hear and talk without aided translations, that contribute to a singular world under the name of “international”? The end of one world marks the emergence of many worlds, seen or unseen. This thesis is an attempt to respond to those questions of the global imagination and …

The translation and certification of legal text: parliament of the Republic of South Africa as a case study
This study looks at the translation process, certification and assent of legislation after it had followed the Parliamentary legislative process as required by the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and the Joint Rules of Parliament. This was done against the background of the history of …

Unamunian Microcosms: Four Short Stories in a New Translation into English
… and it is especially underrepresented in English-language translation. This thesis constitutes a comprehensive approach to four short stories: "El que se enterró," "La manchita de la uña," "Mecanópolis," and "Batracófilos y batracófobos." A detailed exploration of thematic resonances among …

A system analysis of improvements in machine learning
Machine learning algorithms used for natural language processing (NLP) currently take too long to complete their learning function. This slow learning performance tends to make the model ineffective for an increasing requirement for real time applications such as voice transcription, language …

Speech Adaptation Modeling for Statistical Machine Translation
Spoken language translation (SLT) exists within one of the most challenging intersections of speech and natural language processing. While machine translation (MT) has demonstrated its effectiveness on the translation of textual data, the translation of spoken language remains a challenge, largely …

American Sign Language Recognition Using Machine Learning and Computer Vision
… use other media of communication such as sign language. Although sign language is ubiquitous in recent times, there remains a challenge for non-sign language speakers to communicate with sign language speakers or signers. With recent advances in deep learning and computer vision there has been …

Development of PHP to UPML transformer
This thesis developed a new markup language based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML), named as the Unified Programming Markup Language (UPML), which represents an abstraction of programming techniques of popular programming languages, and is used to store the programming semantic information of …

Enabling Efficient ML Inference in SigmaOS with Model-Aware Scheduling
… reusing cached models. Experimental results on language translation workloads in an 8-node cluster show that these schedulers achieve a ≈ 50% reduction in average inference latency and eliminates roughly 4–5 cold starts per workload, compared to σOS’s default scheduler. Through this model-aware …

An adaptive pruning algorithm for DNN compression
… tasks such as image recognition and machine language translation. Although deep neural networks achieve state-of-the-art accuracy for various tasks, the high accuracy comes with high computational complexity and large network size which leads to over-parameterization. The computational …

Learning Representations for Limited and Heterogeneous Medical Data
… different medical applications, such as clinical language translation, ultrasound image classification and segmentation, medical image retrieval, skin diagnosis classification, pathology metadata prediction, and lung pathology prediction. We first focus on the limited data problem, which is common …

Epitaxial SiGe synapses for neuromorphic arrays
Intelligent machines could help to facilitate language translation, maximize attentive learning, and optimize medical care. However, hardware to train and deploy Al systems are power-hungry and too slow for many applications. Neuromorphic arrays could potentially offer better efficiency compared to …

Initial Development of a Patient-Reported Item Bank to Assess Mobility of People Who Use Lower Limb Orthoses
… condition-specific item banks into other languages. This body of work represents the initial development of a new item bank and a model for future language translation efforts. The first chapter is a qualitative study designed to explore how lower limb orthosis users describe their …

Unsupervised Text Translation Through the Application of Generative Adversarial Networks
Text translation is a very broad subfield of natural language processing that tries to generate output text with different characteristics conditioned on some input text. More specifically, we seek to find a translation of the input that retains the semantic contents of the original while changing …

A Formal Model of Ambiguity and its Applications in Machine Translation
Systems that process natural language must cope with and resolve ambiguity. In this dissertation, a model of language processing is advocated in which multiple inputs and multiple analyses of inputs are considered concurrently and a single analysis is only a last resort. Compared to conventional …

Afterlives: Translations of German Weltliteratur Into Yiddish
My dissertation examines the Yiddish translation and reception of canonical German texts to trace the changes in the cultural value placed on German language and literature in Yiddish discourse at significant points of historical transition between 1876 and 1966. I compare German literary texts …
