Machine translation refers to a system where a computer translates a source sentence into a target sentence. There are various subfields of machine translation. APE (Automatic Post Editing) is a subfield of machine translation that produces better translations by editing the output of machine translation systems. In other words, it means the process of correcting errors included in the translations generated by the machine translation system to make proofreading. Rather than changing the machine translation model, this is a research field to improve the translation quality by correcting the result sentence of the machine translation system. Since 2015, APE has been selected for the WMT Shaed Task. and the performance evaluation uses TER (Translation Error Rate). Due to this, various studies on the APE model have been published recently, and this paper deals with the latest research trends in the field of APE.

Automatic post editing is a research field that aims to automatically correct errors in machine translation results. This research is mainly being focus on high resource language pairs, such as English-German. Recent APE studies are mainly adopting transfer learning based research, where pre-training language models, or translation models generated through self-supervised learning methodologies are utilized. While translation based APE model shows superior performance in recent researches, as such researches are conducted on the high resource languages, the same perspective cannot be directly applied to the low resource languages. In this work, we apply two transfer learning strategies to Korean-English APE studies and show that transfer learning with translation model can significantly improves APE performance.

Artificial intelligence-based natural language processing technology is playing an important role in helping users write English-language documents. For academic documents in particular, the English proofreading services should reflect the academic characteristics using formal style and technical terms. But the services usually does not because they are based on general English sentences. In addition, since existing studies are mainly for improving the grammatical completeness, there is a limit of fluency improvement. This study proposes an automatic academic English editing methodology to deliver the clear meaning of sentences based on the use of technical terms. The proposed methodology consists of two phases: misspell correction and fluency improvement. In the first phase, appropriate corrective words are provided according to the input typo and contexts. In the second phase, the fluency of the sentence is improved based on the automatic post-editing model of the bidirectional recurrent neural network that can learn from the pair of the original sentence and the edited sentence. Experiments were performed with actual English editing data, and the superiority of the proposed methodology was verified.

Automatic Post Editing(APE) is the study that automatically correcting errors included in the machine translated sentences. The goal of APE task is to generate error correcting models that improve translation quality, regardless of the translation system. For training these models, source sentence, machine translation, and post edit, which is manually edited by human translator, are utilized. Especially in the recent APE research, multilingual pretrained language models are being adopted, prior to the training by APE data. This study deals with multilingual pretrained language models adopted to the latest APE researches, and the specific application method for each APE study. Furthermore, based on the current research trend, we propose future research directions utilizing translation model or mBART model.

In this paper, we present a new method for automatically synchronize captured facial expression data with its corresponding motion data. In a usual optical motion capture set-up, a detailed facial expression can not be captured simultaneously in the motion capture session because its resolution requirement is higher than that of the motion capture. Therefore, those are captured in two separate sessions and need to be synchronized in the post-process to be used for generating a convincing character animation. Based on the patterns of the actor's neck movement extracted from those two data, we present a non-linear time warping method for the automatic synchronization. We justify our method with the actual examples to show the viability of the method.

Scientific research is mostly published in English, regardless of the researcher's nationality. However, this growing practice impairs or hinders the comprehension of professionals who depend on the results of these studies to provide adequate care for their patients. We suggest that machine translation (MT) can be used as a way of providing useful translation for biomedical articles, even though the translation itself may not be fluent. To tackle possible mistranslation that can harm a patient, we resort to crowd-sourced validation of translations. We developed a prototype of MT validation and edition, where users can vote for that translation as valid, or suggest modifications (i.e., post-editing the MT). A glossary match system is also included, aiming at terminology consistency.

인공지능 기술이 발달함에 따라 기계번역 기술도 많은 진보를 이루었지만 여전히 기계번역을 통한 번역문 내에는 사람이 교정해야 하는 오류가 다수 포함되어있다. 이렇게 번역 모델에서 생성되는 오류를 교정하는 전문인력의 요구를 경감시키기 위하여 기계번역 사후교정 연구가 등장하였고, 해당 연구는 현재 WMT를 주축으로 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 이러한 사후교정 연구는 최근 도메인 특화 관점에서 주로 연구가 이루어지고 있으며 현재 많은 도메인에서 유의미한 성과를 내고 있다. 하지만 이런 연구들은 기존 번역문의 품질을 얼만큼 향상시켰는가에 초점을 맞출 뿐, 다른 도메인 특화 번역모델의 성능과 비교했을 때 얼마나 뛰어난지는 밝히지 않기 때문에 사후교정 연구가 도메인 특화에서 효과적으로 작용하는지 명확하게 알 수 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 도메인 특화 번역 모델과 도메인 특화 사후교정 모델간의 성능을 비교함으로써, 도메인 특화에서 사후교정을 통해 얻을 수 있는 실제적인 성능을 검증한다. 이를 통해 사후교정이 도메인 특화 번역모델과 비교했을 때 미미한 수준의 성능을 보임을 실험적으로 확인하였고, 해당 실험 결과를 분석함으로써 향후 도메인특화 사후교정 연구의 방향을 제안하였다.
