Evaluating Machine Translation Performance on Chinese Idioms with a Blacklist Method (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | idiom translation is a challenging problem in machine translation because meaning is non-compositional and literal translations are likely to be wrong. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to evaluate the quality of idiom translation of MT systems by a blacklist of literal translations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method detects that a sizable number of idioms are mistranslated (46.1%) and that literal translation error is a common error type. |
Lost in Interpretation: Predicting Untranslated Terminology in Simultaneous Interpretation (N19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Experimental results on a newly-annotated version of the NAIST Simultaneous Translation Corpus indicate the promise of our proposed method. |
| Approach: | They propose a task of predicting which terminology simultaneous interpreters will leave untranslated using supervised sequence taggers. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method predicts which terminology interpreters leave untranslated . it is based on an annotated version of the NAIST Simultaneous Translation Corpus . |
