A Multidimensional Analysis of Human and ChatGPT-Generated English Translations of Arabic Film
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study analyzed lexico-grammatical variations between two text types: human-written and machine-generated, using Biber's multidimensional analysis. It explores the effectiveness and limitations of AI-driven translation systems in maintaining the quality of film translations. It aims to add to the current discussion on the impact of AI in the field of translation. The research methodology involves selecting films from the Middle East and collecting their translations, both human-written and generated by ChatGPT. Biber's multidimensional analysis framework analyses the translations across dimensions such as involved versus informational discourse, narrative versus non-narrative concerns, explicit versus situation-dependent, overt expression of argumentation/ persuasion, and abstract versus non-abstract discourse. The findings of the analysis reveal similarities and differences between human and ChatGPT translations. Human translations are more involved, situation-dependent, argumentative, non-abstract, and less non-narrative than the translations generated by AI. However, further improvements and refinements in AI translation models could help bridge the gap between human and AI translations. The results gained from this comparative analysis offer insight into improving AI-driven translation systems, leading to more effective cross-cultural communication through film. This research will potentially contribute to the advancement of the field of translation studies by bridging the gap between human and AI translations. It provides valuable implications for the future development of AI technologies in film translation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
