Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Cherokee is a highly endangered Native American language spoken by the Cherokee people . there are only 2,000 fluent first language Cherokee speakers remaining in the world . |
| Approach: | They propose a Cherokee-English parallel dataset to facilitate machine translation between Cherokee and English. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset compares Cherokee-English and English-Cherokee machine translation systems . the results show that the datasets are low-resource and low-cost compared to other datasets . |

| Challenge: | a new study shows that machine translation models can translate fragments of the source sentence but make major mistakes. |
| Approach: | They propose an online machine translation demonstration system for translation between English and an endangered language Cherokee. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system achieves state-of-the-art translation performance and improves quality estimation . the proposed system can translate between English and an endangered language Cherokee . |
