In this paper, we tackle the problem of the translation of proper names. We introduce our hypothesis according to which proper names can be translated more often than most people seem to think. Then, we describe the construction of a…
Most current machine translation models are mainly trained with parallel corpora, and their translation accuracy largely depends on the quality and quantity of the corpora. Although there are billions of parallel sentences for a few…
Image Translation (IT) holds immense potential across diverse domains, enabling the translation of textual content within images into various languages. However, existing datasets often suffer from limitations in scale, diversity, and…
This study is an attempt to build a contemporary linguistic corpus for Arabic language. The corpus produced, is a text corpus includes more than five million newspaper articles. It contains over a billion and a half words in total, out of…
We release a multilingual neural machine translation model, which can be used to translate text in the biomedical domain. The model can translate from 5 languages (French, German, Italian, Korean and Spanish) into English. It is trained…
We introduce ParaNames, a massively multilingual parallel name resource consisting of 140 million names spanning over 400 languages. Names are provided for 16.8 million entities, and each entity is mapped from a complex type hierarchy to a…
We present the HPLT (High Performance Language Technologies) language resources, a new massive multilingual dataset including both monolingual and bilingual corpora extracted from CommonCrawl and previously unused web crawls from the…
Parallel corpora are a valuable resource for machine translation, but at present their availability and utility is limited by genre- and domain-specificity, licensing restrictions, and the basic difficulty of locating parallel texts in all…
Rhetorical devices are difficult to translate, but they are crucial to the translation of literary documents. We investigate the use of multilingual embedding spaces to characterize the preservation of intertextuality, one common rhetorical…
The NLP community recently saw the release of a new large open-access multilingual language model, BLOOM (BigScience et al., 2022) covering 46 languages. We focus on BLOOM's multilingual ability by evaluating its machine translation…
The Parallel Meaning Bank is a corpus of translations annotated with shared, formal meaning representations comprising over 11 million words divided over four languages (English, German, Italian, and Dutch). Our approach is based on…
In this paper, we present a quantitative evaluation of differences between alternative translations in a large recently released Finnish paraphrase corpus focusing in particular on non-trivial variation in translation. We combine a series…
We present a new release of the Czech-English parallel corpus CzEng 2.0 consisting of over 2 billion words (2 "gigawords") in each language. The corpus contains document-level information and is filtered with several techniques to lower the…
Arabic is a widely-spoken language with a rich and long history spanning more than fourteen centuries. Yet existing Arabic corpora largely focus on the modern period or lack sufficient diachronic information. We develop a large-scale,…
We investigate the extent to which cosine similarity between paragraph embeddings is invariant under machine translation, using the Manifesto Corpus of over 2,800 political party platforms in 28 languages translated to English via the EU…
Multilingual topic models enable document analysis across languages through coherent multilingual summaries of the data. However, there is no standard and effective metric to evaluate the quality of multilingual topics. We introduce a new…
While there are more than 7000 languages in the world, most translation research efforts have targeted a few high-resource languages. Commercial translation systems support only one hundred languages or fewer, and do not make these models…
This paper presents a multilingual customer service self-help corpus comprising 1,122 manually validated documents in Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, totaling over one million tokens. The documents have been sourced from the public…
In the prose style transfer task a system, provided with text input and a target prose style, produces output which preserves the meaning of the input text but alters the style. These systems require parallel data for evaluation of results…
Technology has increasingly become an integral part of the Bible translation process. Over time, both the translation process and relevant technology have evolved greatly. More recently, the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has…
