| Challenge: | Simultaneous interpretation is a cognitively taxing task, and even seasoned professionals benefit from real-time assistance. |
| Approach: | They propose a simultaneous interpretation task that mimics the cognitive load of interpretation with crowdworker surrogates. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task mimics the cognitive load of interpretation with crowdworker surrogates . the evaluation setup provides consistent results between expert and proxy participants . |
Rare but Severe Neural Machine Translation Errors Induced by Minimal Deletion: An Empirical Study on Chinese and English (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work examines MT pathologies on classification problems, the worst being hallucinations. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to induce severe translation errors by deleting a single character . they also analyze the effect of training data size on the number and types of errors induced by these perturbations . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method induces severe errors in Chinese-English and English-Chinese translations. |
