Quality Estimation Workshop

Pre-Conference Session

A practical walk through AI for more efficient translation

04 October 2023, 13:00 to 17:00

Little America Hotel, Salt Lake City (USA)

About the Workshop

The Quality Estimation Workshop is a joint initiative between the main providers of Quality Estimation or Quality Prediction, TAUS and ModelFront. Participants in this workshop will learn firsthand from technical leaders in these companies and their customers about the sustainable approach and real-world implementations.

Post-editing was unsustainable
Most human translation effort is wasted on perfectly good machine translations. As enterprises adopted MT, and MT quality improved, professional human translators started leaving most of the segments - up to 90% - unedited. It’s a good problem to have - if all those perfectly good segments could somehow be separated from those that do need a human touch, like exact matches are separated from fuzzy matches.
A more efficient, “hybrid” approach: AI for quality control
Efficiency is now generally available
