用QE指导重生成,提升翻译纠错效果。

Can QE-informed (Re)Translation lead to Error Correction?

  • 基于QE提示,从多个大模型生成译文中选最优结果。
  • 新方法在测试集上比基准提升0.0201分(Delta COMET)。
  • 适合需要高精度翻译的场景,无需额外训练。

本文针对WMT 2025自动翻译质量评估任务3——基于质量估计(QE)的段级错误修正,提出两种无需训练的方法。一种是让不同大模型生成多个候选译文,选择质量最高的作为最终输出;另一种则根据QE提供的错误描述,指令大模型替换特定错误子串,采用条件启发式策略减少修改次数,以最大化收益与修改比。前者取得0.0201的Delta COMET分数,领先于后者(-0.0108),并赢得该子任务第一名。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The paper presents two approaches submitted to the WMT 2025 Automated Translation Quality Evaluation Systems Task 3 - Quality Estimation (QE)-informed Segment-level Error Correction. While jointly training QE systems with Automatic Post-Editing (APE) has shown improved performance for both tasks, APE systems are still known to overcorrect the output of Machine Translation (MT), leading to a degradation in performance. We investigate a simple training-free approach - QE-informed Retranslation, and compare it with another within the same training-free paradigm. Our winning approach selects the highest-quality translation from multiple candidates generated by different LLMs. The second approach, more akin to APE, instructs an LLM to replace error substrings as specified in the provided QE explanation(s). A conditional heuristic was employed to minimise the number of edits, with the aim of maximising the Gain-to-Edit ratio. The two proposed approaches achieved a Delta COMET score of 0.0201 and -0.0108, respectively, leading the first approach to achieve the winning position on the subtask leaderboard.
