Automatic Post-Editing (APE) systems often struggle with over-correction, where unnecessary modifications are made to a translation, diverging from the principle of minimal editing. In this paper, we propose a novel technique to mitigate…
Recent approaches to the Automatic Post-Editing (APE) research have shown that better results are obtained by multi-source models, which jointly encode both source (src) and machine translation output (mt) to produce post-edited sentence…
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), there is a trend in moving AI applications, such as neural machine translation (NMT), from cloud to mobile devices. Constrained by limited hardware resources and battery, the…
Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models are typically trained on heterogeneous data that are concatenated and randomly shuffled. However, not all of the training data are equally useful to the model. Curriculum training aims to present the…
The advantages of neural machine translation (NMT) have been extensively validated for offline translation of several language pairs for different domains of spoken and written language. However, research on interactive learning of NMT by…
