Penerapan Convolutional Neural Networks untuk Mesin Penerjemah Bahasa Daerah Minangkabau Berbasis Gambar

One of efforts by the Indonesian people to defend the country is to preserve and to maintain the regional languages. The current era of modernity makes the regional language image become old-fashioned, so that most them are no longer spoken. If it is ignored, then there will be a cultural identity crisis that causes regional languages to be vulnerable to extinction. Technological developments can be used as a way to preserve regional languages. Digital image-based artificial intelligence technology using machine learning methods such as machine translation can be used to answer the problems. This research will use Deep Learning method, namely Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Data of this research were 1300 alphabetic images, 5000 text images and 200 vocabularies of Minangkabau regional language. Alphabetic image data is used for the formation of the CNN classification model. This model is used for text image recognition, the results of which will be translated into regional languages. The accuracy of the CNN model is 98.97%, while the accuracy for text image recognition (OCR) is 50.72%. This low accuracy is due to the failure of segmentation on the letters i and j. However, the translation accuracy increases after the implementation of the Leveinstan Distance algorithm which can correct text classification errors, with an accuracy value of 75.78%. Therefore, this research has succeeded in implementing the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) method in identifying text in text images and the Leveinstan Distance method in translating Indonesian text into regional language texts.

The language problem of minorities in a homogeneous state.

In this paper, I aim at presenting the language situation of some regional minorities in Poland: Silesians (Ślązacy), Kashubians (Kaszubi) and the residents of Wilamowice. Protection of language minorities is extremely important from the point of view of cultural development of countries. Throughout a long period of its existence, Poland has been a multi-cultural country populated by representatives of different national, regional and ethnic groups. However, the national and ethnic situation of Poland changed radically after the Second World War. Today Poland is one of the most homogenous states not only in Europe but also worldwide. However, Poland is not free from the discussion about minority rights. Shaping a strong regional identity, which was particularly true for the Silesians and Kashubians and residents of Wilamowice, was a social and cultural phenomenon, completely unknown in the long history of Poland. The Act on national and ethnic minorities and on the regional languages dated January 6, 2005, allows to use of Kashubian language as a “supporting language” before the municipality authorities, the smallest ad-ministrative unit. The other obvious point of this description concerns the demanding of similar linguistic rights by Silesians. The study also highlights the efforts of the residents of Wilamowice to preserve their unique language.

“Présenter aux lecteurs français la littérature orale telle qu’elle sortait de la bouche des paysans”

The study of the language of publication of folklore offers a unique perspective on the sociolinguistic history of regional languages in 19th century France as well as on the wider cultural context of contemporary folklore collection. Regional languages had a subordinate sociolinguistic status vis-à-vis French, yet they had preserved a richer folklore heritage, which, during the golden age of folklore collection, was also considered to be a valuable part of French national cultural heritage. The fact that the folktales of regional languages were often published first or only in French translation reflects both the hegemonic position of French and the prevailing contemporary perception of folktales primarily as a universal human cultural inheritance rather than as the literary heritage of specific cultures; folktale publications were typically aimed at a wider national readership and the perceived universal content – tale types and motifs – was considered more important than the linguistic form and cultural context. However, the fact that folktale and above all folksong collections were also published in the original regional languages shows that there was a genuine choice of language of publication. The publication of folktales only in translation was controversial because the lack of original texts – as well as a lack of transparency concerning the collection process – potentially undermined the authenticity of the published folklore. The publication of folklore only in translation also resulted in the loss of an important part of the cultural heritage of the regional languages and its effective appropriation as French national and French language cultural heritage.

Language Statistical Machine Translation Muna to Indonesia Language

In this rapid technological development, there are still at least some machine translators from regional languages ​​to Indonesian. Therefore, this paper discusses to make a statistical translation machine for the Muna language into Indonesian because at least there are still at least a Muna translation machine into Indonesian. The approach used a statistically based using parallel corpus. In this study, the data taken came from a book entitled Folklore of Buton and Muna in Southeast Sulawesi and several folklore articles on the internet. The number of parallel corpus used is 1050 sentence lines and the monolingual corpus is 1351 sentence lines. The scenarios that will be carried out in this experiment are divided into two scenarios. Scenario 1 is testing on the parallel corpus (training) which is tested using the available sentence lines and these sentence lines will be added to each experiment, while the rest of the sentence lines that are owned will be used in the parallel corpus (testing). In scenario 2, the test is carried out by comparing the lines of the monolingual corpus sentences after subtracting and adding sentences. In order for scenario 2 to run, accuracy is needed in scenario 1 which is the best. The test was carried out 6 times using BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) tools. From the results of the tests carried out, the best accuracy value is 29.83%.

PENGAYAAN KOSA KATA BAHASA DAERAH BERBASIS MASYARAKAT PESISIR DI KALANGAN SISWA SMA NEGERI 55 TELUK ELPAPUTIH

Abstrak Perkembangan dan perubahan bahasa secara masif telah menyentuh teritorial tradisional termasuk di Negeri Waraka yang terletak di pesisir Teluk Elpaputih Maluku Tengah, yang masyarakatnya menuturkan bahasa Wemale atau bahasa Waraka. Hanya generasi usia lanjut yang berkomunikasi dalam bahasa tersebut. Untuk itu, diinisiasi penyuluhan kepada generasi muda tentang pentingnya bahasa daerah melalui kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) kepada para siswa di SMA Negeri 55 Teluk Elpaputih. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode ceramah singkat disertai tanya-jawab, diskusi dan mendata kosakata, serta permainan acak pasangan kartu. Hasilnya memperlihatkan bahwa kosakata bahasa daerah yang dimiliki para siswa memang sangat minim karena transmisi antara orang tua kepada anak terhambat. Namun, potensi para siswa cukup besar untuk mulai men-input kosakata sehari-hari, dan dibiasakan melalui kalimat-kalimat sederhana dari dalam keluarga. Dengan demikian, bahasa daerah memang harus diprioritaskan di rumah. Kata kunci: pengayaan, kosakata, bahasa daerah, strategi, keluarga Abstract Massive language developments and changes have touched traditional territories, including in the Waraka State located on the coast of Elpaputih Bay, Central Maluku, where the people speak the Wemale language or the Waraka language. Only the older generation communicates in this language. For this reason, counseling was initiated to the younger generation about the importance of regional languages ​​through community service activities (PkM) to students at SMA Negeri 55 Teluk Elpaputih. The method used is a short lecture method with questions and answers, discussion and vocabulary collection, as well as a random game of card pairs. The results show that the local language vocabulary owned by the students is indeed very minimal because the transmission between parents to children is hampered. However, the potential of the students is big enough to start inputting everyday vocabulary, and get used to it through simple sentences from within the family. Thus, regional languages ​​should be prioritized at home. Keywords: enrichment, vocabulary, regional language, strategy, family
