New DFG-funded project on Interactive Lecture Translation
A new research project on auto-adaptive learning from weak feedback for interactive machine lecture translation will soon start. The project attempts to learn machine translation from bandit feedback in form of judgements on the quality of a predicted translation without requiring a post-edit or a gold-standard translation. The application scenario is the translation of university lectures, a focus which is shared with parallel projects at RWTH Aachen, KIT Karlsruhe, and the University of the Saarland, Saarbrücken.
