Performative Translation: Latvia’s Orbita Group as a Post-Monolingual Heterotopia by Kevin M. F. Platt

“…Such a conception of translation supports the monolingual paradigm – the cultural ideology of separate and distinct national languages – and the political actualities to which it corresponds. Orbita’s practices of performative translation, in contrast, create a multilingual heterotopia in which the actuality of translation as mediation is rendered visible, the boundedness and distinctiveness of national literary languages is undermined, and the social necessity and ubiquity of acts of translation is brought to the fore. …”

Advanced Network Traffic Prediction Using Deep Learning Techniques: A Comparative Study of SVR, LSTM, GRU, and Bidirectional LSTM Models by Wang Yuxin

“…The models are evaluated based on their generalization accuracy, as measured by Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), computational efficiency, and their ability to capture underlying traffic dynamics. Results indicate that GRU surpasses SVR and LSTM in terms of prediction accuracy and computational speed, while Bidirectional LSTM demonstrates superiority in capturing long-term dependencies across extended periods. …”
