Transforming machine translation: a deep learning system reaches news translation quality comparable to human professionals

Abstract: The quality of human translation was long thought to be unattainable for computer translation systems. In this study, we present a deep-learning system, CUBBITT, which challenges this view. In a context-aware blind evaluation by human judges, CUBBITT significantly outperformed professional-agency English-to-Czech news translation in preserving text meaning (translation adequacy). While human translation is still rated as more fluent, CUBBITT is shown to be substantially more fluent than previous state-of-the-a… Show more

“…Deep Learning systems 18 , have become the state-of-the-art for a wide variety of application domains, including vision (e.g., image classification) and speech (e.g., voice recognition and generation). In language-related tasks (e.g machine translation), these approaches have surpassed human level performance 37 . Deep learning has proven beneficial in numerous NLP tasks, including predicting the next word (language modeling), tagging tasks such as part of speech tags, entities in a sentence (entity recognition), and dependency parsing.…”

“…In order to verify the application effect of a business English translation framework based on speech recognition and wireless communication, the simulation experiment is carried out. In the experiment, design a translation system based on deep learning [7], an interactive English-Chinese translation system based on feature extraction algorithm [8], and a system based on joint minimum Bayesian fusion [9] as a comparison.…”
