Survey of Low-Resource Machine Translation

2021 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We present a survey covering the state of the art in low-resource machine translation research. There are currently around 7000 languages spoken in the world and almost all language pairs lack significant resources for training …

Simultaneous Translation for Unsegmented Input: A Sliding Window Approach

2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

In the cascaded approach to spoken language translation (SLT), the ASR output is typically punctuated and segmented into sentences before being passed to MT, since the latter is typically trained on written text. However, erroneous …

Iterative Translation Refinement with Large Language Models

2023 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We propose iteratively prompting a large language model to self-correct a translation, with inspiration from their strong language understanding and translation capability as well as a human-like translation approach. Interestingly, multi-turn querying reduces the output's …

ExpertSteer: Intervening in LLMs through Expert Knowledge

2025 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable capabilities across various tasks, yet guiding them to follow desired behaviours during inference remains a significant challenge. Activation steering offers a promising method to control the generation process of …

Neural Machine Translation of Rare Words with Subword Units

2016

Neural machine translation (NMT) models typically operate with a fixed vocabulary, but translation is an open-vocabulary problem. Previous work addresses the translation of out-of-vocabulary words by backing off to a dictionary. In this paper, we …

Controlling Politeness in Neural Machine Translation via Side Constraints

2016

Many languages use honorifics to express politeness, social distance, or the relative social status between the speaker and their addressee(s). In machine translation from a language without honorifics such as English, it is difficult to …
