Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Auto-adaptive learning from weak feedback in the area of machine translation describes a mutually beneficial learning cycle where a human user is supported by a machine translation system, and where human feedback is used directly as weak signal for machine learning. The main advantage of this framework is that weak feedback for machine translations is available more easily and in larger quantities from humans than professional translations for supervised learing. The project investigated algorithms for interactive machine learning from weak feedback, and showed successful applications to speech recognition and translation. The algorithms presented in the project have been successfully applied in academic and commercial settings. Publications describing the work of the project appeared in the most prestigious conferences in the fields of speech and natural language processing. Tangible outcomes of the project are widely used datasets for speech recognition and speech translation, and open-source toolkits for neural machine translation.
