Towards Debiasing Translation Artifacts (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies show translation artifacts in translations influence performance of cross-lingual tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to reduce translation artifacts by extending an established bias-removal technique. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method reduces translationese at sentence and word level . it is the first study to debias translations on a natural language inference task . |
Translating away Translationese without Parallel Data (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Translated texts exhibit systematic linguistic differences compared to original texts in the same language, referred to as translationese . studies show translationeses have effects on various cross-lingual natural language processing tasks . |
| Approach: | They propose a translation-based style transfer approach that learns from monolingual data . they combine a self-supervised approach with an unsupervised approach . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method reduces translationese to a level of a random classifier after style transfer while preserving the content and fluency in the target original style. |
