That was the last straw, we need more: Are Translation Systems Sensitive to Disambiguating Context? (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for translation of ambiguous text use context to disambiguate meaning . current models for MTs consistently translate English idioms literally, whereas LMs are context-aware . |
| Approach: | They use a dataset of 512 pairs of English sentences to study semantic ambiguities . they use literal and figurative idioms to disambiguate intended meaning . |
| Outcome: | The results show that current models translate English idioms literally, even when the context suggests a figurative interpretation. |
