Predicting Cognitive Effort in Translation Production

Entropy as a measurement of cognitive load in translation

In view of the “predictive turn” in translation studies, empirical investigations of the translation process have shown increasing interest in studying features of the text which can predict translation efficiency and ef…

Proceedings of the Second MEMENTO workshop on Modelling Parameters of Cognitive Effort in Translation Production

Predicting Human Translation Difficulty with Neural Machine Translation

Human translators linger on some words and phrases more than others, and predicting this variation is a step towards explaining the underlying cognitive processes. Using data from the CRITT Translation Process Research D…

Dynamic pause assessment of keystroke logged data for the detection of complexity in translation and monolingual text production

Pause analysis of key-stroke logged translations is a hallmark of process based translation studies. However, an exact definition of what a cognitively effortful pause during the translation process is has not been found…

Multi-dimensional Consideration of Cognitive Effort in Translation and Interpreting Process Studies

Cognitive effort is the core element of translation and interpreting process studies, but theoretical and practical issues such as the concept, characteristics and measurement of cognitive effort still need to be clarifi…
