Improved Domain Adaptation for Statistical Machine Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a simple and effective infrastructure for domain adaptation for statistical machine translation (MT). To build MT systems for different domains, it trains, tunes and deploys a single translation system that is capable of producing adapted domain translations and preserving the original generic accuracy at the same time. The approach unifies automatic domain detection and domain model parameterization into one system. Experiment results on 20 language pairs demonstrate its viability.

NICT-2 Translation System for WAT2016: Applying Domain Adaptation to Phrase-based Statistical Machine Translation
This paper describes the NICT-2 translation system for the 3rd Workshop on Asian Translation. The proposed system employs a domain adaptation method based on feature augmentation. We regarded the Japan Patent Office Corpus as a mixture of four domain corpora and improved the translation quality of each domain. In addition, we incorporated language models constructed from Google n-grams as exter...
متن کاملDomain adaptation of statistical machine translation with domain-focused web crawling
In this paper, we tackle the problem of domain adaptation of statistical machine translation (SMT) by exploiting domain-specific data acquired by domain-focused crawling of text from the World Wide Web. We design and empirically evaluate a procedure for automatic acquisition of monolingual and parallel text and their exploitation for system training, tuning, and testing in a phrase-based SMT fr...
متن کاملDomain adaptation of MT systems through automatic post-editing
It is generally acknowledged that the performance of rulebased machine translation (RMBT) systems can be greatly improved through domain-specific system adaptation. To that end, RBMT users often choose to invest significant resources into the development of ad hoc MT dictionaries. In this paper, we demonstrate that comparable customization effects can be achieved automatically. One effective wa...
متن کاملDomain Adaptation Through Phrase Generalization for Improved Statistical Machine Translation Quality
This paper presents a method for domain adaptation (incorporating out-of-domain data) through phrase generalization (learning/using phrase templates) in order to improve the Italian-English translation quality on the BTEC travel task. The process of phrase generalization is described, and its inclusion in the system resulted in noticeable, but only minor improvements because of alignment proble...
متن کاملCombining Statistical Machine Translation and Translation Memories with Domain Adaptation
Since the emergence of translation memory software, translation companies and freelance translators have been accumulating translated text for various languages and domains. This data has the potential of being used for training domain-specific machine translation systems for corporate or even personal use. But while the resulting systems usually perform well in translating domain-specific lang...
