A Survey of Domain Adaptation for Machine Translation

Improved Domain Adaptation for Statistical Machine Translation

We present a simple and effective infrastructure for domain adaptation for statistical machine translation (MT). To build MT systems for different domains, it trains, tunes and deploys a single translation system that is capable of producing adapted domain translations and preserving the original generic accuracy at the same time. The approach unifies automatic domain detection and domain model...

Fast Domain Adaptation for Neural Machine Translation

Neural Machine Translation (NMT) is a new approach for automatic translation of text from one human language into another. The basic concept in NMT is to train a large Neural Network that maximizes the translation performance on a given parallel corpus. NMT is gaining popularity in the research community because it outperformed traditional SMT approaches in several translation tasks at WMT and ...

Domain Adaptation in Machine Translation: Final Report

Statistical Post-Editing of Machine Translation for Domain Adaptation

This paper presents a statistical approach to adapt out-of-domain machine translation systems to the medical domain through an unsupervised post-editing step. A statistical post-editing model is built on statistical machine translation (SMT) outputs aligned with their translation references. Evaluations carried out to translate medical texts from French to English show that an out-of-domain mac...

Domain Adaptation in Statistical Machine Translation using Factored Translation Models

In recent years the performance of SMT increased in domains with enough training data. But under real-world conditions, it is often not possible to collect enough parallel data. We propose an approach to adapt an SMT system using small amounts of parallel in-domain data by introducing the corpus identifier (corpus id) as an additional target factor. Then we added features to model the generatio...
