Models and Tasks for Human-Centered Machine Translation
In this talk, I will describe current research directions in my group that aim to make machine translation (MT) more human-centered. Instead of viewing MT solely as a task that aims to transduce a source sentence into a well-formed target language equivalent, we revisit all steps of the MT research and development lifecycle with the goal of designing MT systems that are able to help people communicate across language barriers. I will present methods to better characterize the parallel training data that powers MT systems, and how the degree of equivalence impacts translation quality. I will introduce models that enable flexible conditional language generation, and will discuss recent work on framing machine translation tasks and evaluation to center human factors.

What the Harm? Quantifying the Tangible Impact of Gender Bias in Machine Translation with a Human-centered Study
Gender bias in machine translation (MT) is recognized as an issue that can harm people and society. And yet, advancements in the field rarely involve people, the final MT users, or inform how they might be impacted by bi…
Machine TranslationTranslationOpportunities for Human-centered Evaluation of Machine Translation Systems
Machine translation models are embedded in larger user-facing systems. Although model evaluation has matured, evaluation at the systems level is still lacking. We review literature from both the translation studies and H…
Machine TranslationTranslationAdapting to Non-Centered Languages for Zero-shot Multilingual Translation
Multilingual neural machine translation can translate unseen language pairs during training, i.e. zero-shot translation. However, the zero-shot translation is always unstable. Although prior works attributed the instabil…
Machine TranslationTranslationAutomatic Machine Translation Evaluation in Many Languages via Zero-Shot Paraphrasing
We frame the task of machine translation evaluation as one of scoring machine translation output with a sequence-to-sequence paraphraser, conditioned on a human reference. We propose training the paraphraser as a multili…
