The TD Group responded to an urgent need for language assistance to support the U.S. Marine Corps by creating enhanced language survival kits. These web-based tools provided the Marines on the ground with the key terminology, pronunciation and audio files needed for relief efforts. Support from the National Virtual Translation Center, U.S. Department of State and the Defense Language Institute made this quick turn around a possibility by providing the needed human language resources and existing language kits. The website was the most expedient mode of dissemination to the Marine Corps enabling an easier coordination of effort between the deployed forces and supporting government agencies. In addition, the materials were downloaded, printed, and provided on laminated cards to the Marines deployed to relief sites.
The TD Group engineered, deployed and maintains "live" and "on-demand" solutions that leverage advanced video, speech recognition, machine translation and storage capabilities developed by BBN, Virage, IBM, Microsoft, Identix, SRI, Autonomy and Language Weaver. These customized solutions demonstrate the ability to process, create and store video, keyframes, face recognition, speaker information, audio transcripts and machine translation from broadcast feeds in English, Chinese and Arabic.
The TD Group provided linguistic support and assisted in the design and maintenance of the gold standard workflow, instruction on translation and evaluation format and technique, final composition of the gold standards for the Chinese documents, and advice on composition of the gold standards for the Arabic documents. We continue to support the government in its effort to design and implement a gold standard across the translation community.
