Traduire l’invisible ou l’inquiétante étrangeté de la traduction

The solving of emotional and mental references and their translation to other languages demands from the translator the perfect understanding of every element of the culture which operates the language of the text that needs to be translated. However, this task often proves to be very hard or even impossible to accomplish, therefore the translator gives preference to some aspects over others in the process. The study tries to complete this typical poetics with the epistemology of the translating act and regards translation as a critical life situation, especially when the translator is faced with a fantastic literary material. This is because the translator arrives at the psychological state of inquiétante étrangeté, which is known from the classic theories of Freud and representatives of fantastic literature. That state is characterized by an uncertainty and fear towards the inexpicable phenomenon in the scope of the real world.

Distributional semantics and machine learning for statistical machine translation

[EU]Lan honetan semantika distribuzionalaren eta ikasketa automatikoaren erabilera aztertzen dugu itzulpen automatiko estatistikoa hobetzeko. Bide horretan, erregresio logistikoan oinarritutako ikasketa automatikoko eredu bat proposatzen dugu hitz-segiden itzulpen- probabilitatea modu dinamikoan modelatzeko. Proposatutako eredua itzulpen automatiko estatistikoko ohiko itzulpen-probabilitateen orokortze bat dela frogatzen dugu, eta testuinguruko nahiz semantika distribuzionaleko informazioa barneratzeko baliatu ezaugarri lexiko, hitz-cluster eta hitzen errepresentazio bektorialen bidez. Horretaz gain, semantika distribuzionaleko ezagutza itzulpen automatiko estatistikoan txertatzeko beste hurbilpen bat lantzen dugu: hitzen errepresentazio bektorial elebidunak erabiltzea hitz-segiden itzulpenen antzekotasuna modelatzeko. Gure esperimentuek proposatutako ereduen baliagarritasuna erakusten dute, emaitza itxaropentsuak eskuratuz oinarrizko sistema sendo baten gainean. Era berean, gure lanak ekarpen garrantzitsuak egiten ditu errepresentazio bektorialen mapaketa elebidunei eta hitzen errepresentazio bektorialetan oinarritutako hitz-segiden antzekotasun neurriei dagokienean, itzulpen automatikoaz haratago balio propio bat dutenak semantika distribuzionalaren arloan.
