English-Chinese Translation of Science and Technology Texts Based on the Differences Between Chinese and Western Modes of Thinking

As a tool for human communication,the use of language is affected by the way of thinking in cross-cultural communication.Due to the differences between Chinese and Western cultures,the way of thinking varies under the influence of such cultural differences.In the process of translation,the influence of the different thinking mode on translation activities cannot be ignored.At present,a lot of studies and researches have focused on the influence of Chinese and Western thinking mode on translation.However,it is still worthwhile to study what specific influence the difference between Chinese and Western thinking mode will exert on the translation process of science texts and what kind of measure should be taken to solve the negative influence brought by the differences when we are translating.This paper aims to discuss the influence of thinking differences between Chinese and Western countries on the process of English-Chinese translation of science and technology from the perspectives of long sentences,passive voice and nominalization,and how the translators should appropriately adjust their thinking pattern and use reasonable skills to eliminate the potential negative interference caused by the difference and achieve a better transformation between English and Chinese.

Modulated-ISRJ rejection using online dictionary learning for synthetic aperture radar imagery

In electromagnetic countermeasures circumstances,synthetic aperture radar(SAR)imagery usually suffers from severe quality degradation from modulated interrupt sampling repeater jamming(MISRJ),which usually owes considerable coherence with the SAR transmission waveform together with periodical modulation patterns.This paper develops an MISRJ suppression algorithm for SAR imagery with online dictionary learning.In the algorithm,the jamming modulation temporal properties are exploited with extracting and sorting MISRJ slices using fast-time autocorrelation.Online dictionary learning is followed to separate real signals from jamming slices.Under the learned representation,time-varying MISRJs are suppressed effectively.Both simulated and real-measured SAR data are also used to confirm advantages in suppressing time-varying MISRJs over traditional methods.

A Study on Translation Strategies Used in Metaphor Boxes in Macmillan English-Chinese Dictionary for Advanced Learners

Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners(MEDAL) applied conceptual metaphor theory to practical lexicogra-phy systematically for the first time, namely, setting Metaphor Box. In the wake of MEDAL, Macmillan English-Chinese Dictionary for Advanced Learners was published based on the English blueprint. Due to different experience and thinking ways between Chi-nese and English, it is not easy for users to understand and translate the metaphors boxes without the help of proper translationstrategies. As an authoritative bilingual version for learners, it provided a template of understanding and translating metaphors.Thus, studying its strategies used in translating the metaphors boxes will be helpful for learners to understand and translate meta-phors in language learning. On the basis of strategies suggested by other researchers and case analysis, three main strategies usedin translating the Metaphor Boxes in the dictionary will be proposed.

Towards On-line Automated Semantic Scoring of English-Chinese Translation

Described and exemplified a semantic scoring system of students' on-line English-Chinese translation. To achieve accurate assessment, the system adopted a comprehensive method which combines semantic scoring with keyword matching scoring. Four kinds of words-verbs, adjectives, adverbs and "the rest" including nouns, pronouns, idioms, prepositions, etc., are identified after parsing. The system treats different words tagged with different part of speech differently. Then it calculated the semantic similarity between these words of the standard versions and those of students' translations by the distinctive differences of the semantic features of these words with the aid of HowNet. The first semantic feature of verbs and the last semantic features of adjectives and adverbs are calculated. "The rest" is scored by keyword matching. The experiment results show that the semantic scoring system is applicable in fulfilling the task of scoring students' on-line English-Chinese translations.

Transductive Transfer Dictionary Learning Algorithm for Remote Sensing Image Classification

To create a green and healthy living environment,people have put forward higher requirements for the refined management of ecological resources.A variety of technologies,including satellite remote sensing,Internet of Things,artificial intelligence,and big data,can build a smart environmental monitoring system.Remote sensing image classification is an important research content in ecological environmental monitoring.Remote sensing images contain rich spatial information andmulti-temporal information,but also bring challenges such as difficulty in obtaining classification labels and low classification accuracy.To solve this problem,this study develops a transductive transfer dictionary learning(TTDL)algorithm.In the TTDL,the source and target domains are transformed fromthe original sample space to a common subspace.TTDL trains a shared discriminative dictionary in this subspace,establishes associations between domains,and also obtains sparse representations of source and target domain data.To obtain an effective shared discriminative dictionary,triple-induced ordinal locality preserving term,Fisher discriminant term,and graph Laplacian regularization termare introduced into the TTDL.The triplet-induced ordinal locality preserving term on sub-space projection preserves the local structure of data in low-dimensional subspaces.The Fisher discriminant term on dictionary improves differences among different sub-dictionaries through intra-class and inter-class scatters.The graph Laplacian regularization term on sparse representation maintains the manifold structure using a semi-supervised weight graphmatrix,which can indirectly improve the discriminative performance of the dictionary.The TTDL is tested on several remote sensing image datasets and has strong discrimination classification performance.

A robust sparse representation algorithm based on adaptive joint dictionary

Sparse representation based on dictionary construction and learning methods have aroused interests in the field of face recognition.Aiming at the shortcomings of face feature dictionary not‘clean’and noise interference dictionary not‘representative’in sparse representation classification model,a new method named as robust sparse representation is proposed based on adaptive joint dictionary(RSR-AJD).First,a fast lowrank subspace recovery algorithm based on LogDet function(Fast LRSR-LogDet)is proposed for accurate low-rank facial intrinsic dictionary representing the similar structure of human face and low computational complexity.Then,the Iteratively Reweighted Robust Principal Component Analysis(IRRPCA)algorithm is used to get a more precise occlusion dictionary for depicting the possible discontinuous interference information attached to human face such as glasses occlusion or scarf occlusion etc.Finally,the above Fast LRSR-LogDet algorithm and IRRPCA algorithm are adopted to construct the adaptive joint dictionary,which includes the low-rank facial intrinsic dictionary,the occlusion dictionary and the remaining intra-class variant dictionary for robust sparse coding.Experiments conducted on four popular databases(AR,Extended Yale B,LFW,and Pubfig)verify the robustness and effectiveness of the authors’method.

A weighted block cooperative sparse representation algorithm based on visual saliency dictionary

Unconstrained face images are interfered by many factors such as illumination,posture,expression,occlusion,age,accessories and so on,resulting in the randomness of the noise pollution implied in the original samples.In order to improve the sample quality,a weighted block cooperative sparse representation algorithm is proposed based on visual saliency dictionary.First,the algorithm uses the biological visual attention mechanism to quickly and accurately obtain the face salient target and constructs the visual salient dictionary.Then,a block cooperation framework is presented to perform sparse coding for different local structures of human face,and the weighted regular term is introduced in the sparse representation process to enhance the identification of information hidden in the coding coefficients.Finally,by synthesising the sparse representation results of all visual salient block dictionaries,the global coding residual is obtained and the class label is given.The experimental results on four databases,that is,AR,extended Yale B,LFW and PubFig,indicate that the combination of visual saliency dictionary,block cooperative sparse representation and weighted constraint coding can effectively enhance the accuracy of sparse representation of the samples to be tested and improve the performance of unconstrained face recognition.

Simultaneous denoising and resolution enhancement of seismic data based on elastic convolution dictionary learning

Enhancing seismic resolution is a key component in seismic data processing, which plays a valuable role in raising the prospecting accuracy of oil reservoirs. However, in noisy situations, existing resolution enhancement methods are difficult to yield satisfactory processing outcomes for reservoir characterization. To solve this problem, we develop a new approach for simultaneous denoising and resolution enhancement of seismic data based on convolution dictionary learning. First, an elastic convolution dictionary learning algorithm is presented to efficiently learn a convolution dictionary with stronger representation capability from the noisy data to be processed. Specifically, the algorithm introduces the elastic L1/2 norm as a sparsity constraint and employs a steepest gradient descent strategy to efficiently solve the frequency-domain linear system with substantial computational cost in a half-quadratic splitting framework. Then, based on the learned convolution dictionary, a weighted convolutional sparse representation paradigm is designed to encode the noisy data to acquire an optimal sparse approximation of the effective signal. Subsequently, a high-resolution dictionary with a broadband spectrum is constructed by the proposed parameter scaling strategy and matched filtering technique on the basis of atomic spectrum modeling. Finally, the optimal sparse approximation of the effective signal and the constructed high-resolution dictionary are used for data reconstruction to obtain the seismic signal with high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio. Synthetic and field dataset examples are executed to check the effectiveness and reliability of the developed method. The results indicate that this method has a more competitive performance in seismic applications compared with the conventional deconvolution and spectral whitening methods.

融媒辞书的理论方法与实践演化

从20世纪80年代电子词典出现,到2019年中国辞书学会提出融媒辞书概念,辞书界认识到,辞书从“多媒体”到“融媒体”的演化,不只是“媒体”量的增加,而是涉及媒体与模态之间和模态与模态之间的融合机制等问题;媒体形式的融合应促进模态内容的融合,释义和注释内容的融合才是融媒辞书的核心。模态是被释义词的指称通过认知感官反映在人们大脑中的心理映像,意义在多模态语境中更易于理解。融媒辞书应根据语词释义的需要,把相关的媒介、媒体、模态融合为一体,使之共同参与语义的表征过程,成为重要的释义元素。本文意在厘清融媒辞书的核心内涵、融合要素、融合路径、模态元素和理论基础,将融媒辞书编纂的文本特征概括为:两极化、数据化、模态化、平台化、网络化;并结合实例,从融媒辞书的制作资源、知识文本和数字技术3个方面来考察现有数字词典的融媒特征如何实现及其状况。
