PET: a Tool for Post-editing and Assessing Machine Translation

چکیده
Given the significant improvements in Machine Translation (MT) quality and the increasing demand for translations, post-editing of automatic translations is becoming a popular practice in the translation industry. It has been shown to allow for larger volumes of translations to be produced, saving time and costs. In addition, the post-editing of automatic translations can help understand problems in such translations and this can be used as feedback for researchers and developers to improve MT systems. Finally, post-editing can be used as a way of evaluating the quality of translations in terms of how much effort these translations require in order to be fixed. We describe a standalone tool that has two main purposes: facilitate the post-editing of translations from any MT system so that they reach publishable quality and collect sentence-level information from the post-editing process, e.g.: post-editing time and detailed keystroke statistics.

PET: A Standalone Tool for Assessing Machine Translation through Post-editing
Machine translation (MT) post-editing is now a popular practice in the translation industry. It has been shown to allow translations to be produced at lower cost without a decrease in quality. The post-editing of automatic translations can provide useful information for MT researchers and developers to evaluate translations and systems. We describe a standalone tool that has two main purposes: ...
متن کاملThe ACCEPT Post-Editing Environment: a Flexible and Customisable Online Tool to Perform and Analyse Machine Translation Post-Editing
This paper presents an online environment aimed at community post-editing, which can record and store any post-editing action performed on machine translated content. This environment can then be used to generate reports using the standard XLIFF format with a view to provide stakeholders such as machine translation providers, content developers and online community managers with detailed inform...
متن کاملA Comparative Quality Evaluation of PBSMT and NMT using Professional Translators
This paper reports on a comparative evaluation of phrase-based statistical machine translation (PBSMT) and neural machine translation (NMT) for four language pairs, using the PET interface to compare educational domain output from both systems using a variety of metrics, including automatic evaluation as well as human rankings of adequacy and fluency, error-type markup, and post-editing (techni...
متن کاملMeasuring User Productivity in Machine Translation Enhanced Computer Assisted Translation
This paper addresses the problem of reliably measuring productivity gains by professional translators working with a machine translation enhanced computer assisted translation tool. In particular, we report on a field test we carried out with a commercial CAT tool in which translation memory matches were supplemented with suggestions from a commercial machine translation engine. The field test ...
متن کاملDepfix, a Tool for Automatic Rule-based Post-editing of SMT
We present Depfix, an open-source system for automatic post-editing of phrase-based machine translation outputs. Depfix employs a range of natural language processing tools to obtain analyses of the input sentences, and uses a set of rules to correct common or serious errors in machine translation outputs. Depfix is currently implemented only for English-to-Czech translation direction, but exte...
