通过动态聚焦提升大模型翻译准确率,解决多义词难题

Enhancing Large Language Models'Machine Translation via Dynamic Focus Anchoring

  • 动态识别翻译难点词,结构化注入语义焦点
  • 无需训练,在多语言对上实现媲美基线的翻译效果
  • 适合需要低资源增强翻译能力的研究与应用

大语言模型在跨语言自然语言处理任务中表现优异,包括机器翻译(MT)。然而,对上下文敏感单位(CSUs),如多义词,仍存在持续挑战。这些单位不仅影响模型局部翻译准确性,还损害其对句子和任务的理解能力,甚至导致翻译失败。为此,我们提出一种简单但高效的方法,通过获取CSUs并施加语义聚焦来增强大模型的机器翻译能力。具体而言,动态分析并识别翻译难点,以结构化方式将它们融入大模型,缓解因信息扁平化导致的误译或误解。该方法高效激活模型从海量数据中提取相关知识,确保难词翻译更准确。在机器翻译基准数据集上,所提方法相比多个开源基线模型表现相当,且在多种语言对(包括相似与远距离语言对)中展现出有效性和鲁棒性。值得注意的是,该方法无需额外模型训练,以极低资源消耗增强大模型在多个NLP任务中的表现。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large language models have demonstrated exceptional performance across multiple crosslingual NLP tasks, including machine translation (MT). However, persistent challenges remain in addressing context-sensitive units (CSUs), such as polysemous words. These CSUs not only affect the local translation accuracy of LLMs, but also affect LLMs' understanding capability for sentences and tasks, and even lead to translation failure. To address this problem, we propose a simple but effective method to enhance LLMs' MT capabilities by acquiring CSUs and applying semantic focus. Specifically, we dynamically analyze and identify translation challenges, then incorporate them into LLMs in a structured manner to mitigate mistranslations or misunderstandings of CSUs caused by information flattening. Efficiently activate LLMs to identify and apply relevant knowledge from its vast data pool in this way, ensuring more accurate translations for translating difficult terms. On a benchmark dataset of MT, our proposed method achieved competitive performance compared to multiple existing open-sourced MT baseline models. It demonstrates effectiveness and robustness across multiple language pairs, including both similar language pairs and distant language pairs. Notably, the proposed method requires no additional model training and enhances LLMs' performance across multiple NLP tasks with minimal resource consumption.
