Machine translation

Text2Picto/Picto2Text

Text2Picto and Picto2Text are two complementary translation tools aimed at enhancing communication for people with reading disabilities.

Text2Picto translates sentences into pictographs – that is, graphic symbols that serve as stand-ins for verbal communication – while Picto2Text does the reverse by allowing users to select the pictographs that they want to translate into written text. Both tools have been developed by the Centre for Computational Linguistics at the University of Leuven.

This demo illustrates a number of metrics that quantify the syntactic differences between two sentences. These sentences can (but need not) be written in a different language. Such metrics are for instance useful when comparing a (machine) translation with the original source text, to find differences and similarities between two different translations, or to see how a machine translation differs from a reference translation.
