基于句子嵌入的往返翻译质量评估

Quality Estimation Using Round-trip Translation with Sentence Embeddings

摘要:

评估机器翻译系统的质量一直是该领域研究人员面临的挑战。许多以前尝试使用往返翻译作为衡量质量的标准都失败了,对于它是否可以作为一种可行的质量评估方法存在很大分歧。在本文中,我们重新审视往返翻译,提出了一个系统,旨在解决以前的陷阱发现的方法。我们的方法利用语言表示学习的最新进展,更准确地衡量原始和往返翻译句子之间的相似性。实验表明,虽然我们的方法没有达到目前最先进的方法的性能,它可能仍然是一个有效的方法,一些语言对。

英文摘要:

Estimating the quality of machine translation systems has been an ongoing challenge for researchers in this field. Many previous attempts at using round-trip translation as a measure of quality have failed, and there is much disagreement as to whether it can be a viable method of quality estimation. In this paper, we revisit round-trip translation, proposing a system which aims to solve the previous pitfalls found with the approach. Our method makes use of recent advances in language representation learning to more accurately gauge the similarity between the original and round-trip translated sentences. Experiments show that while our approach does not reach the performance of current state of the art methods, it may still be an effective approach for some language pairs.
