用大模型回译自动统一多语言术语,提升技术文档一致性。

LLM-BT-Terms: Back-Translation as a Framework for Terminology Standardization and Dynamic Semantic Embedding

  • 通过英-中间语-英回译验证术语一致性,跨模型保留率超90%
  • 设计检索-生成-验证-优化流水线,葡萄牙语术语准确率达100%
  • 将回译重构为动态语义嵌入,可追踪术语意义演化路径

英语技术术语的快速扩张对传统专家主导的标准化方法构成挑战,尤其在人工智能、量子计算等快速发展领域。人工方式难以维持多语言术语的一致性。为此,我们提出由大语言模型驱动的回译框架LLM-BT,通过跨语言语义对齐实现术语验证与标准化自动化。核心贡献包括:(1) 术语级一致性验证:通过英文→中间语→英文回译,不同模型(如GPT-4、DeepSeek、Grok)间术语保留率超过90%;(2) 多路径验证流程:构建“检索→生成→验证→优化”新范式,支持串行(如英→简中→繁中→英)与并行路径(如英→中/葡→英),BLEU得分超0.45,葡萄牙语术语准确率达100%;(3) 回译作为语义嵌入:将回译重新理解为动态语义嵌入,揭示意义演化的潜在轨迹,相较静态嵌入更具透明性与路径依赖性。该框架使机器保障语义完整,人类负责文化解读,推动人机协作标准化。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The rapid expansion of English technical terminology presents a significant challenge to traditional expert-based standardization, particularly in rapidly developing areas such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Manual approaches face difficulties in maintaining consistent multilingual terminology. To address this, we introduce LLM-BT, a back-translation framework powered by large language models (LLMs) designed to automate terminology verification and standardization through cross-lingual semantic alignment. Our key contributions include: (1) term-level consistency validation: by performing English -> intermediate language -> English back-translation, LLM-BT achieves high term consistency across different models (such as GPT-4, DeepSeek, and Grok). Case studies demonstrate over 90 percent of terms are preserved either exactly or semantically; (2) multi-path verification workflow: we develop a novel pipeline described as Retrieve -> Generate -> Verify -> Optimize, which supports both serial paths (e.g., English -> Simplified Chinese -> Traditional Chinese -> English) and parallel paths (e.g., English -> Chinese / Portuguese -> English). BLEU scores and term-level accuracy indicate strong cross-lingual robustness, with BLEU scores exceeding 0.45 and Portuguese term accuracy reaching 100 percent; (3) back-translation as semantic embedding: we reinterpret back-translation as a form of dynamic semantic embedding that uncovers latent trajectories of meaning. In contrast to static embeddings, LLM-BT offers transparent, path-based embeddings shaped by the evolution of the models. This reframing positions back-translation as an active mechanism for multilingual terminology standardization, fostering collaboration between machines and humans - machines preserve semantic integrity, while humans provide cultural interpretation.
