"The limits of my language
signify the limits of my world"

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus logico-philosophicus

The Language Aid platform was created to manage all language combinations, combining natural language processing technologies with human intervention.

The Language Aid platform was created to manage all language combinations, combining natural language processing technologies with human intervention.

Platform functionality included Text-to-Text, Text-to-Speech/Speech-to-Text features. The Speech-to-Speech function uses the latest technology on the market. An 'interpreting-on-demand' function was added to the platform.

Machine translation functions were added to KENN-Bee® to accompany human involvement. The functions added included a 'human-in-the-loop' function, which learns corrections made by human beings.

Strategic technological partnerships were established, with the aim of supplying top-of-the range services relating to document management, especially in relation to using semantic technologies.

Translation Quality Evaluation Tool – QETool

Translation Quality Evaluation Tool – QETool

In addition to our usual activities, a partnership commenced with the Linguistics Department at Trieste University. Along with seminars for students, analysis of translation quality continued, to create a semi-automatic evaluation tool.

The quality evaluation tool, QETool, was created to obtain a clear picture of translation quality, which could also be used in the industry by departmental managers to accurately and intuitively understand company linguistic quality, and identify types of supplier errors.

AlgoritmoAssociates moves into the centre of Turin’s most cosmopolitan quarter. The quality control system continues to be refined: the document management system, quality control and workflow management are merged. A new challenge arises: developing a full-spectrum platform for the management of projects and communications.

The new paradigm: transparency and sharing

The new paradigm: transparency and sharing

Our experience in process and quality management provides the foundations for an innovative solution:
  • Workflows based on a platform shared by all process participants.
  • Transparency of process for all participants, from the end-customers to the translators, who can manage and monitor the project with ease
  • Optimisation of communications between the process protagonists; the linguistic resources are supported so that improvements are made at every stage
  • Maintaining control and overview of the client’s product and incurring costs
AlgoritmoAssociates srl gives rise to ‘the management of complexity’

AlgoritmoAssociates srl gives rise to ‘the management of complexity’

These are the years of consolidating:
  • the quality control system as well as the workflow and terminology management
  • linguistic resources working in harmony with each other and with technical-scientific expertise
  • in-house ability to manage over 80 language combinations
All these factors ensure AlgoritmoAssociates is best equipped to tackle technological and market challenges.
We take on highly complex projects in numerous technical sectors including automotive, engineering and energy.
A new challenge: large projects and fast output

A new challenge: large projects and fast output

The teams grow and quality management requires the following:
  • perfect coordination of project managers, translators, revisers and layout designers
  • effective and well-tested forms of memory-sharing
  • management of document flows by a commodities department
Bearing in mind our high-volume work, producing over 700 pages per day, our clients recognise the high quality of our product. We extend our know-how into the medical, finance and machine tools industries.
