Sommario/riassunto |
|
Machine translation (MT) was one of the first non-numerical applications of the computer in the 1950's and 1960's. With limited equipment and programming tools, researchers from a wide range of disciplines (electronics, linguistics, mathematics, engineering, etc.) tackled the unknown problems of language analysis and processing, investigated original and innovative methods and techniques, and laid the foundations not just of current MT systems and computerized tools for translators but also of natural language processing in general. This volume contains contributions by or about the major MT |

"Cryptogaming: Promises of the Blockchain and the Future of Play is a timely and insightful exploration of the rapidly evolving intersection between blockchain technology and the gaming industry. This book offers a critical analysis of the politics and pitfalls of cryptogaming, making it an essential read for scholars, industry professionals, and anyone interested in the future of digital play.” -Marcus Carter, Professor in Human-Computer Interaction, University of Sydney This book examines the discourses surrounding the rise of the cryptogaming industry and the use of blockchain technology in videogames. Using a discourse analysis of industry materials published by cryptogame developers and venture capital firms, the book explores the promises made by proponents of cryptogaming, including the potential for resist power asymmetry in the value chain, the ability for players to generate income through their in-game actions, and the convergence and interoperability of games built on blockchains. The book also critiques the limitations and challenges of blockchain |
