Question

Different methods for performing this are compared using a triangle with multiple “levels of depth” named after Bernard Vauquois (VOH-kwah). A collaborative demo between Georgetown and IBM showed the technical feasibility of this task, which had its funding reduced after the publication of the pessimistic ALPAC report. The quality of this task’s output can be measured using the (15[1])BLEU (“blue”) score. The (15[1])Trados Studio software can be used to assist in this process, which is made easier using (*) “memory” hardware that implements fuzzy matching. Statistical paradigms for this task often include parallel corpora as training (-5[1])sets. Issues with Google’s popular software for this task include difficulties with word-sense (10[1])ambiguity. For 10 points, (10[1])name this task that can be (10[1])used to change the phrase “I love pizza” to “Me encanta la pizza.” (10[1])■END■
