Intralingual translation has long been peripheral to empirical studies of translation. Considering its many similarities with interlingual translation, also described as translation proper, we adopted eye-tracking technology to investigate the cognitive process during translation and paraphrase, an exemplification of intralingual translation. Twenty-four postgraduate students were required to perform four types of tasks (Chinese paraphrase, English-Chinese translation, English paraphrase, Chinese-English translation) for source texts (ST) of different genres. Their eye movements were recorded for analysis of the cognitive effort and attention distribution pattern. The result demonstrated that: (1) Translation elicited significantly greater cognitive efforts than paraphrase; (2) Differences between translation and paraphrase on cognitive effort were modulated by text genre and target language; (3) Translation and paraphrase did not differ strikingly in terms of attention distribution. This process-oriented study confirmed higher cognitive efforts in inter-lingual translation, which was likely due to the additional complexity of bilingual transfer. Moreover, it revealed significant modulating effects of text genre and target language.

Multimodal dialogue involving multiple participants presents complex computational challenges, primarily due to the rich interplay of diverse communicative modalities including speech, gesture, action, and gaze. These modalities interact in complex ways that traditional dialogue systems often struggle to accurately track and interpret. To address these challenges, we extend the textual enrichment strategy of Dense Paraphrasing (DP), by translating each nonverbal modality into linguistic expressions.

The Arabic paraphrased parallel dataset plays a crucial role in advancing NLP and other language-related applications by leveraging data from diverse sources and expanding it through data augmentation techniques. This dataset enhances machine translation, text summarization, and sentiment analysis, providing a better understanding and manipulation of the Arabic language. It also serves as a valuable tool for improving educational materials, optimizing search engines, and supporting content creation across various fields.

Over the last ten years, social media has become a crucial data source for businesses and researchers, providing a space where people can express their opinions and emotions. To analyze this data and classify emotions and their polarity in texts, natural language processing (NLP) techniques such as emotion analysis (EA) and sentiment analysis (SA) are employed. However, the effectiveness of these tasks using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) methods depends on large labeled datasets, which are scarce in languages like Spanish.

Objectives: To adapt and validate the Latin-Spanish version of the Self-Efficacy to Manage Chronic Disease (SEMCD-S) for the Chilean population.
Material And Methods: Twenty-one individual cognitive interviews were conducted with adults with diagnosed chronic diseases, comparing the understanding of the SEMCD-S with the Chilean adaptation (SEMCD-S-Ch) using paraphrasing and follow-up probes. Then, 144 adults with diagnosed chronic diseases under control were recruited in three family health centers in La Florida and La Pintana.
