Interactive Machine Translation

Achieving high-quality translation between any pair of languages is not possible with the current Machine-Translation (MT) technology a human post-editing of the outputs of the MT system being necessary. Therefore, MT is a suitable area to apply the Interactive Pattern Recognition (IPR) framework and this application has led to what nowadays is known as Interactive Machine Translation (IMT). IMT can predict the translation of a given source sentence, and the human translator can accept or correct some of the errors. The text amended by the human translator can be used by the system to suggest new improved translations with the same translation models in an iterative process until the whole output is accepted by the human.
