2018
Mašīntulkošanas ietekme tulkošanas jomā ir krietni pieaugusi, taču literāru tekstu tulkošanā tā tiek izmantota reti to sarežģītības dēļ. Šī maģistra darba mērķis ir salīdzināt literāru tekstu mašīntulkojumus ar cilvēka tulkojumiem un analizēt, kāda varētu būt tās iespējamā loma šajā tulkošanas apakšnozarē. Šī darba praktiskajā daļā romānu fragmentu mašīntulkojumi tika salīdzināti ar cilvēku tulkotiem tekstiem divos valodu pāros. Tekstu kvalitāte tika novērtēta, izmantojot manuālu lingvistisko, kā arī automātisko metodi. Kaut gan morfoloģiskās tipoloģijas ziņā angļu valoda un latviešu valoda ir savstarpēji attālinātākas, iegūtie rezultāti liecināja, ka sniegums bija labāks, nekā tulkojot no …

Longitudinal metagenomics
2018
Culture-independent approaches are revolutionizing biology. Whether in a clinical or in an environmental sample, metagenomics can reveal which microorganisms exist and what they actually do. Metagenomic studies have unveiled more microbial diversity in a few years than traditional microbiology in centuries. From the top branches down to the roots, its discoveries are reshaping the tree of life dramatically. Metagenomics is a powerful tool for the study of microbial communities, but it requires equally powerful methods of analysis. Current challenges in the analysis of metagenomic data include the accurate comparison of samples, the estimation of the uncertainty in the results, and the effec…
