Integrating Artificial and Human Intelligence for Efficient Translation

It has been shown that PE can not only yield productivity gains of 36% [9], but that it also increases the quality [2]. This paper discusses how human and artificial intelligence can be combined for efficient language translations, which tools already exist and which open challenges remain (see Figure 1). HARNESSING SYNERGIES BETWEEN AIS AND HUMANS Draft Proposal The PE process starts with an initial draft that is proposed by the AI and which the human uses as a basis. There are two main sources for this proposal: a machine translation (MT) and a translation memory (TM). Simply put, TMs are large databases containing already completed human translations which are matched (using fuzzy or exact matches) against the sentence to be translated to provide a starting point for PE.
