The Impact of Crowdsourcing Post-editing with the Collaborative Translation Framework

This paper presents a preliminary report on the impact of crowdsourcing post-editing through the so-called “Collaborative Translation Framework” (CTF) developed by the Machine Translation team at Microsoft Research. We first provide a high-level overview of CTF and explain the basic functionalities available from CTF. Next, we provide the motivation and design of our crowdsourcing post-editing project using CTF. Last, we present the results from the project and our observations. Crowdsourcing translation is an increasingly popular-trend in the MT community, and we hope that our paper can shed new light on the research into crowdsourcing translation.
