  • Publication number: 20230316007
    Abstract: In a method for improving machine translation results, a processor receives a target document in a first language. A processor may also translate the target document into a first translated document in a second language using a first neural machine translation (NMT) model, determine a target attribute value from the target document and a first translated attribute value for the first translated document using a natural language understanding (NLU) model, and compare the target attribute value to the first translated attribute value to determine a first comparison score for the first NMT model.

  • Publication number: 20230229722
    Abstract: An embodiment includes determining semantic attributes of a bookmark. The embodiment also includes determining respective attribute values for each of the semantic attributes of the bookmark. The embodiment also includes rendering a three-dimensional (3D) virtual space for display to a user, where the virtual space is defined by three orthogonal axes, each associated with a respective one of the semantic attributes. The embodiment also includes displaying a symbol representative of the bookmark in the virtual space. The symbol is positioned in the virtual space at an intersection of perpendicular projections from locations on the three axes corresponding with respective attribute values of the attributes associated with the respective axes.
