Translation Theory is the theory that studies how translation works.

Spectrum of Translation

domestication and foreignization are processes by which a translator can choose to alter the style of a translation for a purpose.

foreignization

trying to bring the target language closer to the source language

• bring in foreign words
• use colourful idioms
• use old words

domestication

trying to bring he source language closer to the target language

A load perpendicular to the long end of a rod. Think of a metal rod lying flat on the ground; a transverse

Humans either over-rely (drive a Tesla while sleeping) or under rely (interfering) with robot’s actions.

1. human and robot interactions may depend on entire history
   1. trust is a proxy for the full interaction history
2. the human’s policy must be modeled by th robot
3. trust is demonstrated through real-world experimentation

Formulation

Add two variable

• Trust: \(\theta_{t}\), the robot’s ability to succeed in a task
• Performance: \(e_{t+1}\), success or failure in attempting a task

the trust model probabilities for model’s correct modeling of humans are low: high variance between participants.

Tuning Forks (funing torks!) is a Tuning Fork. You smack it and it goes “biiing!”

Let’s figure out how it works. For us to be one same page, let’s define some vocab:

Vocab

• “Tine”: one of the two prongs of the fork

A Cursory Explanation

Source: here and here. Both are not very scientific but a good first step.

From a very basic perspective, hiting a tuning fork creates a transverse wave on the tine you hit, which vibrates and then compresses the air around it in a longitudinal fashion at a set frequency, which we hear as a sound.
