Addicter: What Is Wrong with My Translations?

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |

Abstract

We introduce Addicter, a tool for Automatic Detection and DIsplay of Common Translation ERrors. The tool allows to automatically identify and label translation errors and browse the test and training corpus and word alignments; usage of additional linguistic tools is also supported.

The error classification is inspired by that of Vilar et al. (2006), although some of their higherlevel categories are beyond the reach of the current version of our system. In addition to the tool itself we present a comparison of the proposed method to manually classified translation errors and a thorough evaluation of the generated alignments.
