为非英语母语学生实时提供科技术语词义提示，助其跟上全英文授课进度
CueBuddy: helping non-native English speakers navigate English-centric STEM education
- 通过关键词识别与多语言词典实时查询，动态提示术语含义
- 在不打断听课节奏的前提下降低技术术语理解门槛
- 特别适合资源匮乏地区、以非英语为教学语言的理工科学生
全球范围内的理工科课堂，尤其是南半球学生，尽管科学基础相当，却因英语能力不足而落后于母语者。多数学生可应付日常英语，但专业术语仍难理解。他们大部分先修课程使用的是资源较少的语言。实时语音翻译虽有前景，但大规模应用成本高，且难以处理技术内容。本文提出CueBuddy，通过实时技术关键词识别与多语言词典查询，为学生提供即时词汇提示，帮助其在不分散注意力的情况下掌握复杂英文术语。我们还讨论了该方法的局限性及未来扩展方向。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Students across the world in STEM classes, especially in the Global South, fall behind their peers who are more fluent in English, despite being at par with them in terms of scientific prerequisites. While many of them are able to follow everyday English at ease, key terms in English stay challenging. In most cases, such students have had most of their course prerequisites in a lower resource language. Live speech translation to lower resource languages is a promising area of research, however, models for speech translation can be too expensive on a large scale and often struggle with technical content. In this paper, we describe CueBuddy, which aims to remediate these issues by providing real-time "lexical cues" through technical keyword spotting along real-time multilingual glossary lookup to help students stay up to speed with complex English jargon without disrupting their concentration on the lecture. We also describe the limitations and future extensions of our approach.
