In this paper, two new approaches to align English-Arabic sentences in bilingual parallel corpora based on the Multi-Class Support Vector Machine (MSVM) and the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) classifiers are presented. A feature vector is extracted from the text pair that is under consideration. This vector contains text features such as length, punctuation score, and cognate score values. A set of manually prepared training data was assigned to train the Multi-Class Support Vector Machine and Hidden Markov Model. Another set of data was used for testing. The results of the MSVM and HMM outperform the results of the length based approach. Moreover these new approaches are valid for any language pairs and are quite flexible since the feature vector may contain less, more, or different features, such as a lexical matching feature and Hanzi characters in Japanese-Chinese texts, than the ones used in the current research.

Despite a recent surge in multifaceted research on AI-integrated language learning, empirical studies in this area remain limited. This study adopts a Human-Generative AI parallel processing model to examine students' perceptions, asking 182 college students to independently construct knowledge and then compare their efforts with the results generated through in-classroom conversations with ChatGPT 3.5. In questionnaire responses, most students indicated that they found these activities useful and expressed a keen interest in learning various ways to utilize generative AI for language learning with instructor guidance. The findings confirm that ChatGPT's potential as a virtual conversation partner. Identifying specific reasons for the perceived usefulness of conversation activities and drawbacks of ChatGPT, this study emphasizes the importance of teachers staying informed about both the latest advances in technology and their limitations. We recommend that teachers endeavor to creatively design various classroom activities using AI technology.

A set of bilingual terms is one of the most important factors in building language-related applications such as a machine translation system and a cross-lingual information system. In this paper, we introduce a new approach that automatically extracts candidates of English-Korean bilingual terms by using a bilingual parallel corpus and a basic English-Korean lexicon. This approach can be useful even though the size of the parallel corpus is small. A sentence alignment is achieved first for the document-level parallel corpus. We can align words between a pair of aligned sentences by referencing a basic bilingual lexicon. For unaligned words between a pair of aligned sentences, several assumptions are applied in order to align bilingual term candidates of two languages. A location of a sentence, a relation between words, and linguistic information between two languages are examples of the assumptions. An experimental result shows approximately 71.7% accuracy for the English-Korean bilingual term candidates which are automatically extracted from 1,000 bilingual parallel corpus.

Motion estimation is a key technique of modern video processing that significantly improves the coding efficiency significantly by exploiting the temporal redundancy between successive frames. Thread-level parallelism is a promising method to accelerate the motion estimation process for multithreading general-purpose processors. In this paper, we propose a parallel motion estimation algorithm which parallelizes the motion search process of the current H.264/AVC encoder. The proposed algorithm is implemented using the OpenMP application programming interface (API) and can be easily integrated into the current encoder. The experimental results show that the proposed parallel algorithm can reduce the processing time of the motion estimation up to 65.08% without any penalty in the rate-distortion (RD) performance.

In NLP (Natural Language Processing) tasks, the highest difficulty which computers had to face with, is the built-in ambiguity of Natural Languages. To disambiguate it, formerly, they based on human-devised rules. Building such a complete rule-set is time-consuming and labor-intensive task whilst it doesn't cover all the cases. Besides, when the scale of system increases, it is very difficult to control that rule-set. So, recently, many NLP tasks have changed from rule-based approaches into corpus-based approaches with large annotated corpora. Corpus-based NLP tasks for such popular languages as English, French, etc. have been well studied with satisfactory achievements. In contrast, corpus-based NLP tasks for Vietnamese are at a deadlock due to absence of annotated training data. Furthermore, hand-annotation of even reasonably well-determined features such as part-of-speech (POS) tags has proved to be labor intensive and costly. In this paper, we present our building an annotated English-Vietnamese parallel aligned corpus named EVC to train for Vietnamese-related NLP tasks such as Word Segmentation, POS-tagger, Word Order transfer, Word Sense Disambiguation, English-to-Vietnamese Machine Translation, etc.

A thinning algorithm is a very important procedure in order to increase recognition rate in the character recognition. This paper is the study of a parallel thinning algorithm available for the recognition of various characters, and it proposes the parallel thinning algorithm using the 8-neighbors connectivity value. Characteristics of the proposed algorithm are easiness of implementation of parallelism, the result of thinning is perfectly-8 connectivity and represented by numeric information. The proposed algorithm is very suitable for characters having many curve segments such as English, Japanese etc. Performance evaluation was performed by the measure of similarity to reference skeleton.

인터넷이 발전하면서 웹에는 같은 내용을 다양한 언어로 표현한 문서들이 많이 존재한다. 이와 같은 웹 문서의 성질을 이용하여, 이 논문은 웹으로부터 수집된 병렬문서(parallel document)를 이용하여 한영 병렬말뭉치 구축 시스템을 설계하고 구현한다. 이 논문에서 구축과정을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 웹 문서수집기를 이용해서 웹으로부터 한영 웹문서(html 문서)를 각각 수집한다. 둘째, 수집된 각 언어의 웹 문서에서 불필요한 내용(태그와 광고 문구 등)을 제거하여 문장을 추출하고, 추출된 문장을 단락단위로 정렬한다. 셋째, 단락단위로 정렬된 문서를 문장정렬(sentence alignment) 방법을 이용해서 문장을 정렬한다. 끝으로 정렬된 병렬문장을 단어 단위로 분리하여 병렬말뭉치를 구축한다. 이와 같은 방법으로 이 논문에서는 약 42만 5천 문장의 한영 병렬말뭉치를 구축하였다.

In this paper, we propose an automatic extraction model for unknown translations and implement an unknown translation extraction system using the proposed model. The proposed model as a phrase-alignment model is incorporated with three models: a phrase-boundary model, a language model, and a translation model. Using the proposed model we implement the system for extracting unknown translations, which consists of three parts: construction of parallel corpora, alignment of Korean and English words, extraction of unknown translations. To evaluate the performance of the proposed system, we have established the reference corpus for extracting unknown translation, which comprises of 2,220 parallel sentences including about 1,500 unknown translations. Through several experiments, we have observed that the proposed model is very useful for extracting unknown translations. In the future, researches on objective evaluation and establishment of parallel corpora with good quality should be performed and studies on improving the performance of unknown translation extraction should be kept up.

통계기반 기계번역 시스템 (SBMT system)은 기계번역시스템 중에서 최근 활발히 연구되고 있는 분야이다. 통계기반 기계번역은 대용량의 말뭉치를 사용할 수 있어 특정 언어 쌍에 제한을 덜 받아 모델을 자동으로 학습할 수 있으며 다른 언어에 일반화하여 적용이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 영어와 한국어 간 통계기반 기계번역에 있어서는 어순의 차이로 인한 문제를 해결할 필요성이 여전히 남아 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 영어와 한국어 간 이중언어 말뭉치를 구축하고 통계기반 기계번역 훈련 시스템인 Moses 에 기반하여 구현한 베이스 시스템을 이용하여 이중언어 간 어순처리 및 단어정렬의 최적화 방안을 연구하였다.
