Machine translation (using software to translate between text in different languages, e.g. Google Translate) has seen improvements in recent years, but certain translation use cases (e.g. law, medicine, marketing) require human-quality translations. Today, such translations are often created by human translators using computer aided translation (CAT) tools that are designed to increase productivity. This talk focuses on recent and continuing work on neural machine translation for use in CAT tools. After introducing CAT tools and techniques, I will discuss an approach to interactive translation prediction ("auto-complete for translators") and its use in a CAT tool. Additionally, I will describe work on adapting neural machine translation systems to learn from human translators' corrections.For more information, call 845-752-2359, or e-mail [email protected].
