Combining the Best of Both Worlds: A Method for Hybrid NMT and LLM Translation

ACL 2025finding

Large language model (LLM) shows promising performances in a variety of downstream tasks, such as machine translation (MT). However, using LLMs for translation suffers from high computational costs and significant latency. Based on our evaluation, in most cases, translations using LLMs are comparabl…

Enhancing Large Language Models for Document-Level Translation Post-Editing Using Monolingual Data

COLING 2025main

The translation capabilities of neural machine translation (NMT) models based on the encoder-decoder framework are extremely potent. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable results in many tasks, they have not reached state-of-the-art performance in NMT. However, traditional N…

Generative Annotation for ASR Named Entity Correction

EMNLP 2025

End-to-end automatic speech recognition systems often fail to transcribe domain-speciffcnamed entities, causing catastrophic failuresin downstream tasks. Numerous fast and lightweight named entity correction (NEC) models have been proposed in recent years. These models, mainly leveraging phonetic-le

INarIG: Iterative Non-autoregressive Instruct Generation Model For Word-Level Auto Completion

EMNLP 2023long findings

Computer-aided translation (CAT) aims to enhance human translation efficiency and is still important in scenarios where machine translation cannot meet quality requirements. One fundamental task within this field is Word-Level Auto Completion (WLAC). WLAC predicts a target word given a source senten…

Text Style Transfer Back-Translation

ACL 2023long

Back Translation (BT) is widely used in the field of machine translation, as it has been proved effective for enhancing translation quality. However, BT mainly improves the translation of inputs that share a similar style (to be more specific, translation-liked inputs), since the source side of BT d…

UCorrect: An Unsupervised Framework for Automatic Speech Recognition Error Correction

ICASSP 2023accepted

Error correction techniques have been used to refine the output sentences from automatic speech recognition (ASR) models and achieve a lower word error rate (WER). Previous works usually adopt end-to-end models and has strong dependency on Pseudo Paired Data and Original Paired Data. But when only p…
