AdaptiveMT – how is it new?

○ Machine Translation– Current MT systems are static. The machine learns how to translate from

source to target during the training process. – The machine does not learn during the translation process.

○ Machine Translation + AdaptiveMT– The machine learns how to translate from source to target during the

training process.– An adaptive MT engine that learns interactively from the post-editors

edits and corrections.
