Papers with English into German
Quantifying the Gaps Between Translation and Native Perception in Training for Multimodal, Multilingual Retrieval (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models that account for perceptual differences in image captions are limited to use in English . culture-based tasks such as recognition, detection, and image retrieval are hindered by relying on English supervision. |
| Approach: | They propose and evaluate caption augmentation strategies to address these gaps . they use captions from german perception and captions that have been machine-translated or human-transcribed from English into german . |
| Outcome: | The proposed models achieve a mean recall improvement of +1.3, but still lack flexibility . cultural differences present in language with respect to object specificity and importance . |
Building Bridges: A Dataset for Evaluating Gender-Fair Machine Translation into German (2024.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a societal movement towards using gender-fair language exists, but gender-free German is barely supported in machine translation. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a community-created gender-fair language dictionary to study gender-neutral German . they also use encyclopedic text and parliamentary speeches to translate the words in isolation . |
| Outcome: | The proposed study shows that most systems produce mainly masculine forms and rarely gender-neutral variants. |
Lexicogrammatic translationese across two targets and competence levels (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a specificity of translations with English as a source language produced by students and professional translators is investigated by genre-comparable data from a number of parallel and comparable corpora. |
| Approach: | They propose to use genre-comparable data to explore the specificity of translations . they use a set of human-interpretable lexicogrammatic translationese indicators . |
| Outcome: | The proposed feature set can reliably distinguish translations and non-translations regardless of the language pair and translation variety. |
