As a task for the fifth topic, we’ve created an account in CiteULike and another one in Google Books; these are pages that search for books or academic publications. In the case of the first one, it is an online service that searches for academic publications (as told before), whilst the latter searches the full […]

First of all we have to know that Machine Learning is part of Artificial Intelligence; as Tom Mitchel defined in his “Machine Learning” book “Machine Learning is the study of algorithms that allow computer programs to automatically improve through experience“. Machine Learning focuses most of the times on the study of Computational Complexity of the […]

On the third questionnaire, one of the subjects we have seen is machine translation. We have been asked to write a short Curriculum Vitae in Spanish and then translate it with three different online-translators (Google Translator, Lucy Translator and Reverso Translator). The results were more or less satisfying, but there were some big mistakes on […]

There are some important researchers on the field of Human Language Technologies (HLT). One of those researchers is Martin Kay. As he says, his main interests are translation (by people and machines), and computational linguistic algorithms, specially in the fields of morphology and syntax. He is well known for his work in computational linguistics; what’s […]
