• Abstract: This article investigates how translation memories (TM) can be created by translators or other language professionals in order to compile domain-specific parallel corpora , which can then be used in different scenarios, such as machine translation training and fine-tuning, TM leveraging, and/or large language model fine-tuning. The article introduces a semi-automatic TM preparation methodology leveraging primarily translation tools used by translators in favor of data quality and control by the translators. This semi-automatic methodology is then used to build a cardiology-based Turkish -> English corpus from bilingual abstracts of Turkish cardiology journals. The resulting corpus called TRENCARD Corpus has approximately 800,000 source words and 50,000 sentences. Using this methodology, translators can build their custom TMs in a reasonable time and use them in their bilingual data requiring tasks.

  We show that for anchored words that follow the continuous bag-of-words (CBOW) paradigm, Word2Vec, BERT, and GPT-4 can be used. For some cases, better results than neural machine translation for translating anchored words from French to English.

  In this paper, we introduce a novel neural approach aimed at exploiting in-domain target-language (TL) monolingual corpora. Our approach relies on cross-lingual sentence embeddings to retrieve translation proposals from TL monolingual corpora, and on a neural model to estimate their post-editing effort. The paper presents an automatic evaluation of these techniques on four language pairs that shows that our approach can successfully exploit monolingual texts in a TM-based CAT environment.

  We propose an algorithm to remove mistranslations from the training corpus and evaluate its performance and efficiency. Two Indic languages (ILs), namely, Hindi (HIN) and Odia (ODI) are chosen for the experiment. The quality of the translations in the experiment is evaluated using standard metrics such as BLEU, METEOR, and RIBES.

  Retrieval-augmented Neural Machine Translation models have been successful in many translation scenarios. We propose a new retrieval-augmented NMT to model contrastively retrieved translation memories that are holistically similar to the source sentence. In training phase, a Multi-TM contrastive learning objective is introduced to learn salient feature of each TM with respect to target sentence.

We propose DEEP, a DEnoising Entity Pre-training method that leverages large amounts of monolingual data and a knowledge base to improve named entity translation accuracy within sentences.
