BabelNetis the dictionary of the future, it provides the meanings of words with illustrations - and will soon come with videos and animation. It includes entities as well as words, so a search for apple produces results that contain a picture of fruit as well as the famous corporate logo. 
His creator, RobertoNavigli, a computer scientist and associate professor at Sapienza University in Rome, calls it BabelNet after the biblical tower and the technology he believes can bridge the world’s languages. 
“The idea is to put a lot of resources together, all the resources that people usually access separately,” he says in an interview published on Times. BabelNet, with 14 million entries and information in 271 languages, is the largest multilingual encyclopedic dictionary and semantic network created by means of the integration of the largest multilingual Web encyclopedia - i.e., Wikipedia - with the most popular computational lexicon of English - i.e., WordNet, and other lexical resources su…

How quickly a user can make decisions and how efficient he/she can ‘navigate’ a website depends on various factors which are studied by the developers of the website.

A user is firstly attracted by the colours, the visual representations and the general sense of the website but to the next and most important level he/she needs to take some information, complete a task and interact with the website. If we imagine a website consist…

Ho ricevuto molti commenti relativi all'ultimo post relativo all'integrazione del fattore della ricerca terminologica nella tariffa del traduttore. Tra tutti, il contributo di Elisa Farina mi è piaciuto particolarmente e ho deciso che valeva la pena trasformarlo in un post (previa autorizzazione di Elisa ovviamente!).
Secondo Elisa, sarebbe forse più efficace integrare il fattore della ricerca terminologica nella tariffa a parola. Come ho scritto in uno dei miei commenti su Google+, a volte si investe un'ora nella ricerca del giusto termine equivalente, e questa è una situazione in cui in molti ci ritroviamo spessissimo.


L'ingente dispendio di tempo per le ricerche terminologiche è senza dubbio un handicap per chi calcola il proprio compenso a parola.
Come fare, però, ad inserire questo aspetto nella fattura? Come voce a parte, in linea con quanto proposto da Debora? Ma in che modo? Aggiungendo una tariffa oraria basata su una stima del tempo che si prevede di dedicare…
