Adaptive Neural Machine Translation

What is Adaptive NMT?

The first Adaptive NMT system was created as part of the ModernMT project, led by Translated and co-founded with FBK Research Center, University of Edinburgh, and the European Commission.

ModernMT adds two extra layers of innovation to Neural Machine Translation:

  • uses the context of the entire document to predict a better translation of every sentence.
  • the model learns in real-time from each correction of the translators.

ModernMT is a top ranking system at WMT18.

Light Post-Editing: a use case of Adaptive NMT

Light post-editing is a translation technique in which the human translator edits machine translated suggestions, correcting only the most serious errors.

Today, thanks to the improvements made in the neural machine translation field and the quality of the automatic output, post-editing has become a concrete and valid alternative to professional translation in many language pairs, particularly for low-budget projects that require high scalability (e.g. translation of user-generated content such as customer reviews).

To request a light post-editing service, just select the Economy service level among the three options provided in the Instant Quote.
