  • Patent number: 11775777
    Abstract: Based on a candidate set of translations produced by a neural network based machine learning model, a mapping data structure such as a statistical phrase table is generated. The mapping data structure is analyzed to obtain a quality metric of the neural network based model. One or more operations are initiated based on the quality metric.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11361212
    Abstract: Techniques are generally described for automatic scoring of alt-text for image data. In various examples, first image data and first text data describing the first image data may be received. A feature representation of the first image data may be determined using an encoder machine learning model. A hidden state representation may be determined using a decoder machine learning model based on the feature representation and a first word of the first text data. In some examples, a first score may be determined using the hidden state representation. The first score may include an indication of a descriptive capability of the first text data with respect to the first image data.

  • Patent number: 10248651
    Abstract: Machine learning models can determine whether post-edits to machine translated content are corrective post-edits, which are edits made to correct translation errors caused during machine translation, or content improvement post-edits, which are post-edits that have been made to improve source language content. The corrective post-edits can be utilized to generate or modify labels for strings utilized to train a translation quality estimation system. The content improvement post-edits can be utilized to improve the quality of source content prior to providing the source content to the machine translation system for translation.

  • Patent number: 9213694
    Abstract: Systems and methods for efficient online domain adaptation are provided herein. Methods may include receiving a post-edited machine translated sentence pair, updating a machine translation model by adjusting translation weights for a translation memory and a language model while generating test machine translations of the machine translated sentence pair until one of the test machine translations approximately matches the post-edits for the machine translated sentence pair, and retranslating the remaining machine translation sentence pairs that have yet to be post-edited using the updated machine translation model.
