When Translation Requires Interpretation: Collaborative Computer--Assisted Translation of Ancient Texts

Lost in Interpretation: Predicting Untranslated Terminology in Simultaneous Interpretation

Simultaneous interpretation, the translation of speech from one language to another in real-time, is an inherently difficult and strenuous task. One of the greatest challenges faced by interpreters is the accurate transl…

It is Not as Good as You Think! Evaluating Simultaneous Machine Translation on Interpretation Data

Most existing simultaneous machine translation (SiMT) systems are trained and evaluated on offline translation corpora. We argue that SiMT systems should be trained and tested on real interpretation data. To illustrate t…

That was the last straw, we need more: Are Translation Systems Sensitive to Disambiguating Context?

The translation of ambiguous text presents a challenge for translation systems, as it requires using the surrounding context to disambiguate the intended meaning as much as possible. While prior work has studied ambiguit…

Automatic Estimation of Simultaneous Interpreter Performance

Simultaneous interpretation, translation of the spoken word in real-time, is both highly challenging and physically demanding. Methods to predict interpreter confidence and the adequacy of the interpreted message have a …
