Show Notes

Today we discuss the importance of Machine Translation customization and why it's hard to get it right. As a solution, TAUS just launched DEMT (Data Enhanced Machine Translation). DEMT offers an end-to-end solution to those who wish to produce customized MT output for their specific domains, without the hassle of going through the actual MT training process. It basically provides post-edited quality, domain customized output with a fraction of the price. The evaluations prove that it ensures on average 15.3% increase in BLEU scores.

In this episode, we talk with TAUS’s Jaap van der Meer and Amir Kamran to explore the effects this will have on the industry and, more importantly, on YOUR long-term MT strategy.
