Abstract

Natural language processing of Low-Resource Languages (LRL) is often challenged by the lack of data. Therefore, achieving accurate machine translation (MT) in a low-resource environment is a real problem that requires practical solutions. Research in multilingual models have shown that some LRLs can be handled with such models. However, their large size and computational needs make their use in constrained environments (e.g., mobile/IoT devices or limited/old servers) impractical. In this paper, we address this problem by leveraging the power of large multilingual MT models using knowledge distillation. Knowledge distillation can transfer knowledge from a large and complex teacher model to a simpler and smaller student model without losing much in performance. We also make use of high-resource languages that are related or share the same linguistic root as the target LRL. For our evaluation, we consider Luxembourgish as the LRL that shares some roots and properties with German. We build multiple resource-efficient models based on German, knowledge distillation from the multilingual No Language Left Behind (NLLB) model, and pseudo-translation. We find that our efficient models are more than 30% faster and perform only 4% lower compared to the large state-of-the-art NLLB model.

Abstract

Digital health translation is an important application of machine translation and multilingual technologies, and there is a growing need for accessibility in digital health translation design for disadvantaged communities. This book addresses that need by highlighting state-of-the-art research on the design and evaluation of assistive translation tools, along with systems to facilitate cross-cultural and cross-lingual communications in health and medical settings. Using case studies as examples, the principles of designing assistive health communication tools are illustrated.

Abstract

"To trainee translators and established professionals alike, the range of tools and technologies now available, and the speed with which they change, can seem bewildering. This state-of-the-art, copiously-illustrated textbook offers a straightforward and practical guide to translation tools and technologies. Demystifying the workings of Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) and Machine Translation (MT) technologies, Translation Tools and Technologies offers clear step-by-step guidance on how to choose suitable tools (free or commercial) for the task in hand and quickly get up to speed with them, using examples from a wide range of languages. Translator trainers will also find it invaluable when constructing or updating their courses. This unique book covers many topics in addition to text translation. These include: the history of the technologies, project management, terminology research and corpora, audiovisual translation, website, software and games localisation, and quality assurance. Professional workflows are at the heart of the narrative, and due consideration is also given to the legal and ethical questions arising from the re-use of translation data. With targeted suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter to guide users in deepening their knowledge, this is the essential textbook for all courses in translation and technology within translation studies and translator training"--

Abstract

This book is a contribution to the research community towards thinking and reflecting on what Responsible Machine Translation really means. It was conceived as an open dialogue across disciplines, from philosophy to law, with the ultimate goal of providing a wide spectrum of topics to reflect on. It covers aspects related to the development of Machine translation systems, as well as its use in different scenarios, and the societal impact that it may have. This text appeals to students and researchers in linguistics, translation, natural language processing, philosophy, and law as well as professionals working in these fields.
