Vermeer and Justa Holz Manttari. Katharina Reiss proposed the text type theory; Vermeer brought up the skopostheory and Mantarri translational action theory. The Functional theories are very useful for the translators to adopt a right translation strategy. In these years, various kinds of adver- tisement have appeared in people's daily life. They are becoming one important part in our culture. The companies need advertisements to sell their products and the consumers need the advertisement to decide which brand to buy after comparison. This paper will discuss how they are applied to the advertisement translation.展开更多

Recommendation systems analyzing user’s interest by short texts becomes more and more important. Collaborative filtering is one of the most promising recommendation technologies. However, the existing collaborative filtering methods don’t consider the drifting of user’s interest. This often leads to a big difference between the result of recommendation and user’s real demands. In this paper, according to the traditional collaborative filtering algorithm, a new personalized recommendation algorithm is proposed. It traced user’s interest by using Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve. Some experiments have been done. The results demonstrated that the new algorithm could indeed make a contribution to getting rid of user’s overdue interests and discovering their real-time interests for more accurate recommendation.展开更多

Design/methodology/approach： Each of the in-text citations in all research articles published in Issue 1 of the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology （JASIST） 2016 was manually classified into one of these five categories： Applied, Contrastive, Supportive, Reviewed, and Perfunctory. The distributions of citations at different in-text frequencies and in different locations in the text by these functions were analyzed. Findings： Filtering out nonessential citations before assigning weight is important for frequency-weighted citation analysis. For this purpose, removing citations by location is more effective than re-citation analysis that simply removes uni-citations. Removing all citation occurrences in the Background and Literature Review sections and uni-citations in the Introduction section appears to provide a good balance between filtration and error rates. Research limitations： This case study suffers from the limitation of scalability and generalizability. We took careful measures to reduce the impact of other limitations of the data collection approach used. Relying on the researcher＇s judgment to attribute citation functions, this approach is unobtrusive but speculative, and can suffer from a low degree of confidence, thus creating reliability concerns. Practical implications： Weighted citation analysis promises to improve citation analysis for research evaluation, knowledge network analysis, knowledge representation, and information retrieval. The present study showed the importance of filtering out nonessential citations before assigning weight in a weighted citation analysis, which may be a significant step forward to realizing these promises. Originality/value： Weighted citation analysis has long been proposed as a theoretical solution to the problem of citation analysis that treats all citations equally, and has attracted increasing research interest in recent years. The present study showed, for the first time, the importance of filtering out nonessential citations in weighted citation analysis, pointing research in this area in a new direction.展开更多

It is not difficult to imagine that the signals of brain are closely linked with writing process. So we build text modeling and set pulse signal function to get the power spectrum of the text. The specific detail is getting power spectrum from economic field to build spectral library, and then using the method of power spectrum matching algorithm to judge whether the test text belonged to the economic field. The method made text similarity system finish the function of text intelligent classification efficiently and accurately.展开更多
