Adaptive Language and Translation Models for Interactive Machine Translation.
Laurent Nepveu, Guy Lapalme, Philippe Langlais, George Foster · NPARC · 2004
We describe experiments carried out with adaptive language and translation models in the context of an interactive computer-assisted translation program. We developed cache-based language models which were then extended to the bilingual case for a cache-based translation model. We present the improve-ments we obtained in two contexts: in a theoretical setting, we achieved a drop in perplexity for the new models and, in a more practical situation simulat-ing a user working with the system, we showed that fewer keystrokes would be needed to enter a trans-lation. 1
