用GPT-4实现东亚成语的创意且上下文感知翻译，效果优于人工和现有翻译引擎。
Creative and Context-Aware Translation of East Asian Idioms with GPT-4
- 基于帕累托最优提示策略，让GPT-4生成上下文相关译文。
- 每条成语可产出远超人工基准的高质量译文，成本极低。
- 适合需要跨文化语言转换的研究者与本地化工程师使用。
东亚成语作为隐喻性语言，仅用寥寥数字符合丰富文化背景。人类译者常需从候选列表中选择上下文合适的译法，但构建该词典耗时且需创造力。为减轻负担，我们评估GPT-4生成高质量译文的能力。基于忠实度与创意性的自动评价，我们识别出帕累托最优提示策略，其表现超越Google与DeepL翻译引擎。以低成本实现单个成语生成更多优质译文，显著优于人工基准。所有代码与数据已开源，以推动后续研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As a type of figurative language, an East Asian idiom condenses rich cultural background into only a few characters. Translating such idioms is challenging for human translators, who often resort to choosing a context-aware translation from an existing list of candidates. However, compiling a dictionary of candidate translations demands much time and creativity even for expert translators. To alleviate such burden, we evaluate if GPT-4 can help generate high-quality translations. Based on automatic evaluations of faithfulness and creativity, we first identify Pareto-optimal prompting strategies that can outperform translation engines from Google and DeepL. Then, at a low cost, our context-aware translations can achieve far more high-quality translations per idiom than the human baseline. We open-source all code and data to facilitate further research.
