Man-Machine Translation—Future of Computer-Assisted Translation

Machine Translation Enhanced Computer Assisted Translation

The MateCat tool is currently under development and tested in real industrial workflows as well as by many MT researchers around the world. At MT Summit 2013, besides this project overview presentation, both the tool and recent advances by the project will be presented through one tutorial, a stand at the conference exhibition, three technical presentations at the main conference, and one prese...

Measuring User Productivity in Machine Translation Enhanced Computer Assisted Translation

This paper addresses the problem of reliably measuring productivity gains by professional translators working with a machine translation enhanced computer assisted translation tool. In particular, we report on a field test we carried out with a commercial CAT tool in which translation memory matches were supplemented with suggestions from a commercial machine translation engine. The field test ...

Phrase-based Machine Translation in a Computer-assisted Translation Environment

We explore the problem of integrating a phrase-based MT system within a computerassisted translation (CAT) environment. We argue that one way of achieving successful integration is to design an MT system that behaves more like the translation memory (TM) component of CAT systems. This implies producing MT output that is consistent with that of a TM when high-similarity material exists in the tr...

Statistical computer assisted translation

In recent years, significant improvements have been achieved in statistical machine translation (MT), but still even the best machine translation technology is far from replacing or even competing with human translators. However, an MT system helps to increase the productivity of human translators. Usually, human translators edit the MT system output to correct the errors, or they may edit the ...
