让翻译更懂上下文,减少误解。
A Context-aware Framework for Translation-mediated Conversations
- 训练和推理时融合对话上下文信息
- 在客服与助手场景中优于GPT-4o等模型
- 适合多语言任务型对话系统
自动翻译系统在非共通语言的交流中能有效打破语言障碍,但常因错误导致误解和对话中断。主要问题在于现有系统未能充分利用解决歧义和补全遗漏所必需的丰富上下文信息,造成字面化、不恰当或不一致的翻译。本文提出一种框架,通过在双语对话场景中结合上下文信息,提升基于大语言模型的翻译系统表现。该框架在客户聊天和用户助手交互两个任务导向领域进行了验证。结果表明,由本框架生成的TowerChat系统,在多个语言对上,各项自动翻译质量指标均优于GPT-4o和TowerInstruct等先进系统。同时,模型能够以预期且可解释的方式利用上下文,显著提升传递信息与生成翻译之间的一致性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Automatic translation systems offer a powerful solution to bridge language barriers in scenarios where participants do not share a common language. However, these systems can introduce errors leading to misunderstandings and conversation breakdown. A key issue is that current systems fail to incorporate the rich contextual information necessary to resolve ambiguities and omitted details, resulting in literal, inappropriate, or misaligned translations. In this work, we present a framework to improve large language model-based translation systems by incorporating contextual information in bilingual conversational settings during training and inference. We validate our proposed framework on two task-oriented domains: customer chat and user-assistant interaction. Across both settings, the system produced by our framework-TowerChat-consistently results in better translations than state-of-the-art systems like GPT-4o and TowerInstruct, as measured by multiple automatic translation quality metrics on several language pairs. We also show that the resulting model leverages context in an intended and interpretable way, improving consistency between the conveyed message and the generated translations.
