  • The Impact of Crowdsourcing Post-Editing with the Collaborative Translation Framework
    The Impact of Crowdsourcing Post-editing with the Collaborative Translation Framework Takako Aikawa1, Kentaro Yamamoto2, and Hitoshi Isahara2 1 Microsoft Research, Machine Translation Team [email protected] 2 Toyohashi University of Technology [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. This paper presents a preliminary report on the impact of crowdsourcing post-editing through the so-called “Collaborative Translation Framework” (CTF) developed by the Machine Translation team at Microsoft Research. We first provide a high-level overview of CTF and explain the basic functionalities available from CTF. Next, we provide the motivation and design of our crowdsourcing post-editing project using CTF. Last, we present the re- sults from the project and our observations. Crowdsourcing translation is an in- creasingly popular-trend in the MT community, and we hope that our paper can shed new light on the research into crowdsourcing translation. Keywords: Crowdsourcing post-editing, Collaborative Translation Framework. 1 Introduction The output of machine translation (MT) can be used either as-is (i.e., raw-MT) or for post-editing (i.e., MT for post-editing). Although the advancement of MT technology is making raw-MT use more pervasive, reservations about raw-MT still persist; espe- cially among users who need to worry about the accuracy of the translated contents (e.g., government organizations, education institutes, NPO/NGO, enterprises, etc.). Professional human translation from scratch, however, is just too expensive. To re- duce the cost of translation while achieving high translation quality, many places use MT for post-editing; that is, use MT output as an initial draft of translation and let human translators post-edit it.

From the Myth of Babel to Google Translate: Confronting Malicious Use of Artificial Intelligence— Copyright and Algorithmic Biases in Online Translation Systems Professor Shlomit Yanisky-Ravid and Cynthia Martens* Many of us rely on Google Translate and other Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI) online translation daily for personal or commercial use. These AI systems have become ubiquitous and are poised to revolutionize human communication across the globe. Promising increased fluency across cultures by breaking down linguistic barriers and promoting cross-cultural relationships in a way that many civilizations have historically sought and struggled to achieve, AI translation affords users the means to turn any text—from phrases to books—into cognizable expression.

  • Statistical Machine Translation from English to Tuvan*
    Statistical Machine Translation from English to Tuvan* Rachel Killackey, Swarthmore College rkillac [email protected] Linguistics Senior Thesis 2013 Abstract This thesis aims to describe and analyze findings of the Tuvan Machine Translation Project, which attempts to create a functional statistical machine translation (SMT) model between English and Tuvan, a minority language spoken in southern Siberia. Though most Tuvan speakers are also fluent in Russian, easily accessible SMT technology would allow for simpler English translation without the use of Russian as an intermediary language. The English to Tuvan half of the system that I examine makes consistent morphological errors, particularly involving the absence of the accusative suffix with the basic form -ni. Along with a typological analysis of these errors, I show that the introduction of novel data that corrects for the missing accusative suffix can improve the performance of an SMT system. This result leads me to conclude that SMT can be a useful avenue for efficient translation. However, I also argue that SMT may benefit from the incorporation of some linguistic knowledge such as morphological rules in the early steps of creating a system. 1. Introduction This thesis explores the field of machine translation (MT), the use of computers in rendering one natural language into another, with a specific focus on MT between English and Tuvan, a Turkic language spoken in south central Siberia. While MT is a growing force in the translation of major languages with millions of speakers such as French, Spanish, and Russian, minority and non-dominant languages with relatively few numbers of speakers have been largely ignored.

The goal of this project was to make a language translator application for Amharic English language pair using swift language for iOS platform. The project has two components. The first one is the language translator application described above and the second component is an integrated Amharic custom keyboard which makes the user able to type Amharic letters which are not supported by iOS 9 system keyboard. The Amharic language has more than 250 letters and numbers and they are represented using extended keys. The project was implemented using the Swift language. At the end of the project an iOS application to translate English to Amharic and vice versa was made. The translator applications uses the translation system which was built on the Microsoft Translator Hub and accessed using Microsoft Translator API. The application can be used to translate texts from Amharic to English or vice versa. Keywords API, iOS, Custom Keyboard, Swift, Microsoft Translator Hub 3 Contents 1.
