用多智能体和对比学习翻译英文双关语,让法语读者笑得出来。
Pun Intended: Multi-Agent Translation of Wordplay with Contrastive Learning and Phonetic-Semantic Embeddings for CLEF JOKER 2025 Task 2
- 三阶段流程:基线测试+思维链引导+多智能体生成与评判
- 在CLEF JOKER 2025竞赛中获一、二名,由母语者人工评分
- 融合音义嵌入,捕捉双关的幽默与文化隐含意义
跨语言双关语翻译长期困扰专业译者与机器翻译系统。本文提出一种将英语双关语译为法语的新方法,结合前沿大语言模型与专门的双关生成技术。方法分三步:首先基于新构建的对比学习数据集,使用多个先进大模型建立基线;其次采用结合音义嵌入的引导式思维链流程;最后引入多智能体生成-判别框架,实现对双关语的评估与迭代重写。本方法不追求字面对应,而是聚焦于保留原文的语言创意与幽默感。最佳结果在CLEF JOKER 2025 Task 2竞赛中获得第一、第二名,经母语法语专家人工评分验证。该研究弥合了翻译学与计算语言学间的空白,通过语言学启发的技术,推进了对语义模糊性、语音相似性及文化认知在幽默传达中作用的理解。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Translating wordplay across languages presents unique challenges that have long confounded both professional human translators and machine translation systems. This research proposes a novel approach for translating puns from English to French by combining state-of-the-art large language models with specialized techniques for wordplay generation. Our methodology employs a three-stage approach. First, we establish a baseline using multiple frontier large language models with feedback based on a new contrastive learning dataset. Second, we implement a guided chain-of-thought pipeline with combined phonetic-semantic embeddings. Third, we implement a multi-agent generator-discriminator framework for evaluating and regenerating puns with feedback. Moving beyond the limitations of literal translation, our methodology's primary objective is to capture the linguistic creativity and humor of the source text wordplay, rather than simply duplicating its vocabulary. Our best runs earned first and second place in the CLEF JOKER 2025 Task 2 competition where they were evaluated manually by expert native French speakers. This research addresses a gap between translation studies and computational linguistics by implementing linguistically-informed techniques for wordplay translation, advancing our understanding of how language models can be leveraged to handle the complex interplay between semantic ambiguity, phonetic similarity, and the implicit cultural and linguistic awareness needed for successful humor.
