构建俚语翻译新基准,让大模型先理解再翻译。

SlangDIT: Benchmarking LLMs in Interpretative Slang Translation

  • 分三步走:识别俚语、解释含义、结合上下文翻译
  • 覆盖2.5万组英汉俚语对,含跨语言解释标注
  • 提出SlangOWL模型,推理链提升翻译准确率

俚语翻译的难点在于捕捉上下文依赖的语义扩展,因为俚语常超出字面意义。尽管大模型时代已分别研究俚语检测、解释与翻译,但三者内在关联仍待探索。主要原因是缺乏一个任务间有依赖关系的基准,无法支撑自然译法。本文提出解释性俚语翻译任务(SlangDIT),包含三项子任务:俚语检测、跨语言俚语解释、结合上下文的俚语翻译,以生成更准确的译文。为此构建了包含超过2.5万对英汉句子的SlangDIT数据集,每条源句均标注至少一个俚语及其跨语言解释。基于此基准,提出深度思考模型SlangOWL:首先判断句子是否含俚语,再判断是否多义并分析可能含义,进而提供针对当前语境的最佳解释,最终输出合适译文。在大模型(如Qwen2.5和LLama-3.1)上的实验表明,该深度思考方法显著优于原生模型与监督微调模型。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The challenge of slang translation lies in capturing context-dependent semantic extensions, as slang terms often convey meanings beyond their literal interpretation. While slang detection, explanation, and translation have been studied as isolated tasks in the era of large language models (LLMs), their intrinsic interdependence remains underexplored. The main reason is lacking of a benchmark where the two tasks can be a prerequisite for the third one, which can facilitate idiomatic translation. In this paper, we introduce the interpretative slang translation task (named SlangDIT) consisting of three sub-tasks: slang detection, cross-lingual slang explanation, and slang translation within the current context, aiming to generate more accurate translation with the help of slang detection and slang explanation. To this end, we construct a SlangDIT dataset, containing over 25k English-Chinese sentence pairs. Each source sentence mentions at least one slang term and is labeled with corresponding cross-lingual slang explanation. Based on the benchmark, we propose a deep thinking model, named SlangOWL. It firstly identifies whether the sentence contains a slang, and then judges whether the slang is polysemous and analyze its possible meaning. Further, the SlangOWL provides the best explanation of the slang term targeting on the current context. Finally, according to the whole thought, the SlangOWL offers a suitable translation. Our experiments on LLMs (\emph{e.g.}, Qwen2.5 and LLama-3.1), show that our deep thinking approach indeed enhances the performance of LLMs where the proposed SLangOWL significantly surpasses the vanilla models and supervised fine-tuned models without thinking.
