The Two Shades of Dubbing in Neural Machine Translation (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Dubbing has two shades; synchronisation constraints are applied only when the actor’s mouth is visible on screen, while the translation is unconstrained for off-screen dubbing. |
| Approach: | They annotate an existing dubbing corpus for this dichotomy and find that on-screen dubbing is more difficult for MT than off-screen. |
| Outcome: | The results show that on-screen dubbing is more difficult for MT than off-screen translation, and that synchronisation constraints dramatically decrease translation quality for off- screen dubbing. |
