Multilingual machine translation means the machine translation that is for more than two languages. Common transfer means the transfer in which we can reuse the transfer rules among similar languages according to linguistic typology. Therefore, the multilingual machine translation based on common transfer is the multilingual machine translation that can share the transfer rules among languages with similar linguistic typology. This paper describes the linguistic modeling for multilingual machine translation based on common transfer under development. This linguistic modeling consists of the linguistic devices such as 1) multilingual common Part-of-Speech set, 2) multilingual common transfer format, 3) multilingual common transfer chunking, and 4) multilingual common transfer rules based on linguistic typology. Validity of this linguistic modeling for multilingual machine translation is shown in the simulation. The multilingual machine translation system based on common transfer including Korean, English, Chinese, Spanish, and French will be developed till 2018.

This study analyzed the translation error factors of machine translation services such as Naver Papago and Google Translate through Self-Attention path visualization. Self-Attention is a key method of the Transformer and BERT NLP models and recently widely used in machine translation. We propose a method to explain translation error factors of machine translation algorithms by comparison the Self-Attention paths between ST(source text) and ST'(transformed ST) of which meaning is not changed, but the translation output is more accurate. Through this method, it is possible to gain explainability to analyze a machine translation algorithm's inside process, which is invisible like a black box. In our experiment, it was possible to explore the factors that caused translation errors by analyzing the difference in key word's attention path. The study used the XLM-RoBERTa multilingual NLP model provided by exBERT for Self-Attention visualization, and it was applied to two examples of Korean-Chinese and Korean-English translations.

In this paper, we propose a classification-based approach for hybridizing statistical machine translation and rulebased machine translation. Both the training dataset used in the learning of our proposed classifier and our feature extraction method affect the hybridization quality. To create one such training dataset, a previous approach used auto-evaluation metrics to determine from a set of component machine translation (MT) systems which gave the more accurate translation (by a comparative method). Once this had been determined, the most accurate translation was then labelled in such a way so as to indicate the MT system from which it came. In this previous approach, when the metric evaluation scores were low, there existed a high level of uncertainty as to which of the component MT systems was actually producing the better translation. To relax such uncertainty or error in classification, we propose an alternative approach to such labeling; that is, a cut-off method. In our experiments, using the aforementioned cut-off method in our proposed classifier, we managed to achieve a translation accuracy of 81.5% - a 5.0% improvement over existing methods.

기계번역이란 소스문장(Source Sentence)을 타겟문장(Target Sentence)으로 컴퓨터가 번역하는 시스템을 의미한다. 기계번역에는 다양한 하위분야가 존재하며 APE(Automatic Post Editing)이란 기계번역 시스템의 결과물을 교정하여 더 나은 번역문을 만들어내는 기계번역의 하위분야이다. 즉 기계번역 시스템이 생성한 번역문에 포함되어 있는 오류를 수정하여 교정문을 만드는 과정을 의미한다. 기계번역 모델을 변경하는 것이 아닌 기계번역 시스템의 결과 문장을 교정하여 번역품질을 높이는 연구분야이다. 2015년부터 WMT 공동 캠페인 과제로 선정되었으며 성능 평가는 TER(Translation Error Rate)을 이용한다. 이로 인해 최근 APE에 모델에 대한 다양한 연구들이 발표되고 있으며 이에 본 논문은 APE 분야의 최신 동향에 대해서 다루게 된다.

Commenced in 1954 by IBM, machine translation has expanded immensely, particularly in this period. Machine translation can be broken into seven main steps namely- token generation, analyzing morphology, lexeme, tagging Part of Speech, chunking, parsing, and disambiguation in words. Morphological analysis plays a major role when translating Indian languages to develop accurate parts of speech taggers and word sense. The paper presents various machine translation methods used by different researchers for Indian languages along with their performance and drawbacks. Further, the paper concentrates on parts of speech (POS) tagging in Marathi dialect using various methods such as rule-based tagging, unigram, bigram, and more. After careful study, it is concluded that for machine translation, parts of speech tagging is a major step. Also, for the Marathi language, the Hidden Markov Model gives the best results for parts of speech tagging with an accuracy of 93% which can be further improved according to the dataset.

With the advent of robust deep learning method, Neural machine translation has recently become a dominant paradigm and achieved adequate results in translation between popular languages such as English, German, and Spanish. However, its results in under-resourced languages Korean and Vietnamese are still limited. This paper reports an attempt at constructing a bidirectional Korean-Vietnamese Neural machine translation system with the supporting of Korean analysis tool - UTagger, which includes morphological analyzing, POS tagging, and WSD. Experiment results demonstrate that UTagger can significantly improve translation quality of Korean-Vietnamese NMT system in both translation direction. Particularly, it improves approximately 15 BLEU scores for the translation from Korean to Vietnamese direction and 3.12 BLEU scores for the reverse direction.

인공신경망기계번역은 점진적으로 인간번역과 기계번역의 경계를 허물어가고 있다. 기계번역의 현재와 미래 그리고 기계번역의 장·단점을 논의하는 가운데 인간번역과 기계번역의 실제 번역사례들을 살펴보고 최근 수년간 놀라운 발전을 이룬 인공신경망기계번역이 왜 인간번역의 손길을 필요로 하는지를 논의하는 것이 본 연구의 목표이다. 번역분야에서 인간이 기계로 대치될 수 있는가? 인공신경망기계번역 시대에 인간번역가는 도태되어야 하는가? 그리고 인공신경망기계번역과 지역의 세계화에 기반을 두고 확장하고 있는 세계영어들이라는 언어다양성 시대에 언어장벽을 없애는 것이 가능한가라는 질문 모두에 대하여 부정적인 결론과 함께 기계번역은 신속성, 정확성, 저비용의 생산성이라는 장점을 갖는 유용한 도구임에도 불구하고, 문화, 차용어, 중의성, (국가)방언, 신조어 등의 분야에서는 인간번역이 요구된다고 제안한다. 기계학습을 기반으로 하는 기계번역과 직관과 습득을 기반으로 하는 인간번역은 협업의 상태로 공생 발전해야할 것이다. 기계번역은 역 번역과 인간의 사후편집과 같은 방법을 활용할 때 도덕적 문제를 야기하지 않는 유용한 번역도구가 될 것이다. 결론적으로 기계번역은 인간번역의 손길 없이는 완성될 수 없다는 혼합적 접근법을 제안한다.

This paper presents an environment for rule-based English-Korean machine translation system, which supports the translation domain adaptation and the continuous translation quality improvement. For the purposes, corpus is essential, from which necessary information for translation will be acquired. The environment consists of a corpus construction part and a translation knowledge extraction part. The corpus construction part crawls news articles from some newspaper sites. The extraction part builds the translation knowledge such as newly-created words, compound words, collocation information, distributional word representations, and so on. For the translation domain adaption, the corpus for the domain should be built and the translation knowledge should be constructed from the corpus. For the continuous improvement, corpus needs to be continuously expanded and the translation knowledge should be enhanced from the expanded corpus. The proposed web-based environment is expected to facilitate the tasks of domain adaptation and translation system improvement.
