利用依存句法关系改进神经译文质量估计

译文质量估计技术是指在无参考译文的情况下对机器译文进行评价的方法。近年来,深度学习技术取得了重大突破,融合深度学习技术的神经译文质量估计方法逐渐取代了传统的译文质量估计方法成为主流。神经译文质量估计模型具有一定的隐式学习源语言句法结构的能力,但无法从语言学的角度有效地捕捉句子内部的句法关系。该文提出了一种将源语句的句法关系信息显式融入神经译文质量估计的方法,在源语言的依存句法关系和译文质量之间建立联系。实验结果表明,该文提出的句法关系特征能够提高译文质量估计模型的准确性。同时还提取了多个层面的语言学特征,在不同的网络模型中进行融合,并从多个角度分析了不同特征所起到的效果。最后使用集成学习算法,将多个有效模型进行融合,获得了最佳性能。

Dependency Relationship Enhanced Neural Machine Translation Quality Estimation

Translation quality estimation (QE) technology refers to evaluating machine translation results without reference translations. Current neural translation quality estimation models can implicitly learn the syntactic structure of the source language, but they cannot effectively capture the syntactic relationships within sentences from the perspective of linguistics. This paper proposes a method to integrate the syntactic relationship information of the source sentence into neural translation quality estimation, jointly considering the internal dependency relationships of the source language and the translation quality. Experimental results show that the syntactic feature can improve the performance of the model. Finally, we used an ensemble learning algorithm to integrate multiple other linguistic features to obtain the best performance.
