Improving the translation environment for professional translators
When using computer-aided translation systems in a typical, professional translation workflow, there are several stages at which there is room for improvement. The SCATE (Smart Computer-Aided Translation Environment) project investigated several of these aspects, both from a human-computer interaction point of view, as well as from a purely technological side.
This paper describes the SCATE research with respect to improved fuzzy matching, parallel treebanks, the integration of translation memories with machine translation, quality estimation, terminology extraction from comparable texts, the use of speech recognition in the translation process, and human computer interaction and interface design for the professional translation environment. For each of these topics, we describe the experiments we performed and the conclusions drawn, providing an overview of the highlights of the entire SCATE project
Topic Shift Detection in Chinese Dialogues: Corpus and Benchmark
Dialogue topic shift detection is to detect whether an ongoing topic has
shifted or should shift in a dialogue, which can be divided into two
categories, i.e., response-known task and response-unknown task. Currently,
only a few investigated the latter, because it is still a challenge to predict
the topic shift without the response information. In this paper, we first
annotate a Chinese Natural Topic Dialogue (CNTD) corpus consisting of 1308
dialogues to fill the gap in the Chinese natural conversation topic corpus. And
then we focus on the response-unknown task and propose a teacher-student
framework based on hierarchical contrastive learning to predict the topic shift
without the response. Specifically, the response at high-level teacher-student
is introduced to build the contrastive learning between the response and the
context, while the label contrastive learning is constructed at low-level
student. The experimental results on our Chinese CNTD and English TIAGE show
the effectiveness of our proposed model
