Revisiting Negation in Neural Machine Translation (2021.tacl-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Negation is an important linguistic phenomenon in machine translation, as errors in translating negation may change the meaning of source sentences completely. |
| Approach: | They evaluate the translation of negation in English–German (EN–DE) and English– Chinese (EN-ZH) . they find that NMT models can distinguish negation and non-negation tokens very well and encode a lot of information about negation . |
| Outcome: | The accuracy of manual evaluation in ENDE, DEEN, ENZH, and ZHEN is 95.7%, 94.8%, 93.4%, and 91.7% respectively. |
