Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

While traditional translation training focuses on language exercises and activities, human cognitive processes in language comprehension rely on contextual factors and hence one key educational objective in translation should be to help students become more culturally competent. In this chapter, we will discuss the notion of cultural competence from a communicative perspective and borrow the concept of relevance used in pragmatics to define this term. In a translation training setting, cultural competence can be considered as a learning product that consists of cognitive outcomes, skill-based outcomes and affective outcomes. We will use the curriculum of the Graduate Studies in Interpreting and Translation at the University of Maryland as an example of applying the relevancy approach to cultural competence.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
