Toward better control of colorectal cancer.

“There is so much in life we can’t control. But here’s something we can: colorectal cancer”, said Academy Award winning actress Meryl Streep in the USA’s Screen for Life: National Colorectal Cancer Action Campaign. Her comment on colorectal cancer might not be entirely accurate, but it has some merit with regard to prevention of this disease. As discussed in a Seminar by Hermann Brenner and col...

Dissecting Human Pre-Editing toward Better Use of Off-the-Shelf Machine Translation Systems

Machine translation (MT) systems are not able to always produce translations of human-level quality. As a practical means of such MT systems, we investigated the potential of pre-editing strategy, by collecting actual pre-edit instances using a human-in-the-loop protocol. In our study, targeting Japanese-to-English translation on four different datasets and using an offthe-shelf MT system, we c...
