Grounding or Guessing? Visual Signals for Detecting Hallucinations in Sign Language Translation

ICLR 2026poster

Hallucination, where models generate fluent text unsupported by visual evidence, remains a major flaw in vision–language models and is especially critical in sign language translation (SLT). In SLT, meaning depends on precise grounding in video, and gloss-free models are particularly vulnerable beca…

Translating away Translationese without Parallel Data

EMNLP 2023long main

Translated texts exhibit systematic linguistic differences compared to original texts in the same language, and these differences are referred to as translationese. Translationese has effects on various cross-lingual natural language processing tasks, potentially leading to biased results. In this p…

Towards Debiasing Translation Artifacts

NAACL 2022long

Cross-lingual natural language processing relies on translation, either by humans or machines, at different levels, from translating training data to translating test sets. However, compared to original texts in the same language, translations possess distinct qualities referred to as translationese…

Comparing Feature-Engineering and Feature-Learning Approaches for Multilingual Translationese Classification

EMNLP 2021main

Traditional hand-crafted linguistically-informed features have often been used for distinguishing between translated and original non-translated texts. By contrast, to date, neural architectures without manual feature engineering have been less explored for this task. In this work, we (i) compare th…

Understanding Translationese in Multi-view Embedding Spaces

COLING 2020main

Recent studies use a combination of lexical and syntactic features to show that footprints of the source language remain visible in translations, to the extent that it is possible to predict the original source language from the translation. In this paper, we focus on embedding-based semantic spaces…
