Questions and Answers

What is a primary requirement for creating a target-language model?

  • Data from a single language
  • A large bilingual corpus ideally of millions of words (correct)
  • A model based on monolingual data only
  • A small bilingual corpus
  • Why is a bilingual corpus preferred for developing a target-language model?

  • It enhances understanding of idiomatic expressions
  • It reduces complexity in model calculations
  • It provides a larger context for translation accuracy (correct)
  • It ensures data accessibility for multiple languages
  • What is the ideal size of the corpus for developing a target-language model?

  • Hundreds of thousands of words
  • Tens of thousands of words
  • Single paragraphs of text
  • Millions of words (correct)

    Study Notes

    Computer-Aided Translation (CAT) Tools

    • CAT tools enhance the efficiency of human translators without replacing their core tasks.
    • They utilize a centralized database to allow multiple translators to access the same translation resources, ensuring consistency.
    • Translation memory (TM) acts as a reference system, offering suggestions based on previously translated segments.

    Impact on Translator Rewards

    • Rewards for translators are based on the amount of effort required to review or edit translations.
    • The integration of TM allows for more accurate and potentially higher rewards due to reduced time spent on repetitive tasks.
    • The predominant use of free online MT is driven by the need for quick comprehension of incoming information rather than for professional translation.
    • MT tools are often used for rapid assimilation of content, indicating a shift in how translation is approached in the digital age.

    Target-Language Model

    • The model is constructed using large bilingual corpora, ideally composed of millions of words.
    • Such a model enhances the quality and accuracy of translations by leveraging extensive data to inform language processing.
