构建医疗领域英西双语文档级机翻后编辑数据集,支持术语统一与纠错传播研究。

APEX-VW: A Document-Level English-Spanish Post-Editing Dataset in the Healthcare Domain

  • 基于真实NHS虚拟病房文档,用Trados Studio进行专业后编辑
  • 包含42,000词的7个连贯文档,经四种不同范式机器翻译后编辑
  • 保留文档顺序与CAT工具上下文,适合研究术语标准化与人机协同

机翻后编辑(PE)常需在大量段落中重复修正同一词汇和术语,尤其在专业且高度重复的文档中。尽管自动后编辑(APE)研究众多,但现有语料多为句级、合成数据,或未针对真实计算机辅助翻译(CAT)工作流中的纠错传播问题设计。本文提出APEX-VW(Virtual Wards上的自动后编辑实验)语料库,一个开放的英西双语(EN-ES)文档级数据集,源自近期NHS虚拟病房文档,使用Trados Studio进行专业后编辑,并控制机器翻译、术语和质量保证设置。语料包含7个结构连贯的源文本,总计42,000词,由四种代表不同范式的机器翻译系统生成后,再由专业译者进行后编辑。与WMT APE、eSCAPE、MLQE-PE或LangMark等资源不同,该数据集保留文档顺序与CAT工具上下文,适用于术语规范化、纠错传播及人机协同翻译支持的研究。本文详述语料设计、数据准备、后编辑设置与初始统计,并将其定位为文档级自动后编辑与传播感知辅助工具的基准资源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Post-Editing (PE) of Machine Translation (MT) output often involves repeating the same lexical and terminological corrections across many segments, especially in specialised and highly repetitive documents. Despite substantial work on Automatic Post-Editing (APE), most available corpora operate at the sentence level, others are synthetic, and overall not designed to study how corrections propagate in realistic Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) workflows. This paper presents the APEX-VW (Automatic Post-Editing eXperiments on Virtual Wards) Corpus, a new open English-Spanish (EN-ES) dataset built from recent NHS virtual-ward documents and professional PE in Trados Studio, with controlled MT, terminology, and quality assurance settings. The corpus contains seven document-coherent source texts totalling 42k words, translated with four MT systems representing different paradigms and then post-edited by professional translators. Unlike prior resources such as WMT APE corpora, eSCAPE, MLQE-PE, or LangMark, the dataset preserves document order and CAT-tool context, making it suitable for research on terminology normalisation, correction propagation, and human-in-the-loop translation support. The paper describes the corpus design, data preparation, PE setup, and initial corpus statistics, and positions the resource as a benchmark for document-level APE and propagation-aware assistive tools.
