| Challenge: | a recent study shows that deep neural models have improved machine translation . identifying machine translation is still feasible, but is not yet known. |
| Approach: | They train and apply deep neural models to distinguish between human and machine translations . they use a monolingual and bilingual task to train and train 18 classifiers based on their results . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves the ability to distinguish between human and machine translations at the sentence level. |

| Challenge: | Despite progress in MT, a gap persists between how the technology is developed and how it is used in real-world contexts. |
| Approach: | They propose a human-centered approach to machine translation (MT) they argue that MT should be evaluated with diverse goals and contexts of use . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach emphasizes alignment of evaluation and design with diverse communicative goals and contexts of use. |
