He Said, She Said: Addressing Gender in Neural Machine Translation
Google is concerned it might be mistakenly assuming genders in machine translation; initial effort to reduce gender bias only the first step in dealing with similar challenges in neural machine translation.
The Art of Hyping Machine Translation
What’s behind the arcane research paper that Baidu helped spin into a machine translation breakthrough celebrated across the media?
Google, Microsoft, Baidu Step Up NMT Research in Record August as BLEU Takes Heat
August 2018 became the busiest month ever for neural machine translation research as more papers call for improved evaluation methods and big tech companies step up the number of submissions.
In Human vs. Machine Translation, Compare Documents, Not Sentences
Microsoft’s “human parity” claims drew skepticism from a team of neural machine translation researchers as they found that much of the research and industry community is looking at the problem from the wrong angle.
Measuring Machine Translation Quality in the Era of Neural
Professor Andy Way, Deputy Director of ADAPT Centre for Digital Content Technology, unpacks quality expectations for machine translation as the language industry increasingly favors neural MT as the new standard.
Machine Translates Literature and About 25% Was Flawless, Research Claims
European researchers train neural machine translation on 100 million words to translate Lord of the Flies, 1984, Ulysses, and nine other works of literature from English into Catalan. Between one third and one sixth of the sentences “would not need any correction”.
Here Is Europe’s State of the Art in Machine Translation Research
Europe continues to ramp up research in language technology. The number of papers published on machine translation in an academic journal has reached the highest number in more than a decade.
