Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The goal of interactive machine translation is to improve the productivity of human translators. An interactive machine translation system operates as follows: the automatic system proposes a translation. Now, the human user has two options: to accept the suggestion or to correct it. During the post-editing process, the human user is assisted by the interactive system in the following way: the system suggests an extension of the current translation prefix. Then, the user either accepts this extension (completely or partially) or ignores it. The two most important factors of such an interactive system are the quality of the proposed extensions and the response time. Here, we will use a fully fledged translation system to ensure the quality of the proposed extensions. To achieve fast response times, we will use word hypotheses graphs as an efficient search space representation. We will show results of our approach on the Verbmobil task and on the Canadian Hansards task.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
