PRIMT: A Pick-Revise Framework for Interactive Machine Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interactive machine translation (IMT) is a method which uses human-computer interactions to improve the quality of MT. Traditional IMT methods employ a left-to-right order for the interactions, which is difficult to directly modify critical errors at the end of the sentence. In this paper, we propose an IMT framework in which the interaction is decomposed into two simple human actions: picking a critical translation error (Pick) and revising the translation (Revise). The picked phrase could be at any position of the sentence, which improves the efficiency of human computer interaction. We also propose automatic suggestion models for the two actions to further reduce the cost of human interaction. Experiment results demonstrate that by interactions through either one of the actions, the translation quality could be significantly improved. Greater gains could be achieved by iteratively performing both actions.

Interactive Machine Translation using Hierarchical Translation Models
Current automatic machine translation systems are not able to generate error-free translations and human intervention is often required to correct their output. Alternatively, an interactive framework that integrates the human knowledge into the translation process has been presented in previous works. Here, we describe a new interactive machine translation approach that is able to work with ph...

In recent years, significant improvements have been achieved in statistical machine translation (SMT), but still even the best machine translation technology is far from replacing or even competing with human translators. Another way to increase the productivity of the translation process is computer-assisted translation (CAT) system. In a CAT system, the human translator begins to type the tra...

State-of-the-art Machine Translation (MT) systems are still far from being perfect. An alternative is the so-called Interactive Machine Translation (IMT) framework. In this framework, the knowledge of a human translator is combined with a MT system. The vast majority of the existing work on IMT makes use of the well-known batch learning paradigm. In the batch learning paradigm, the training of ...

One of the well-known evolutionary algorithms inspired by biological evolution is genetic algorithm (GA) that is employed as a robust and global optimization tool to search for the best or near-optimal solution with the search space. In this paper, this algorithm is used to solve unequalsized machines (or intra-cell) layout problems considering pick-up and drop-off (input/output) points. Such p...

Whenever the quality provided by a machine translation system is not enough, a human expert is required to correct the sentences provided by the machine translation system. In such a setup, it is crucial that the system is able to learn from the errors that have already been corrected. In this paper, we analyse the applicability of discriminative ridge regression for learning the log-linear wei...
