This is a simple question, yet quite a difficult one to answer, in particular when the translation has been generated automatically.<br \/>\nMachine Translation (MT) has been a very active field of research for several decades now, yet the question of how &#8220;good&#8221; state-of-the-art MT systems are still divides the Research Community. MT is used daily, almost everywhere by almost everyone, ranging from professionals to average end-users. However, in most use cases (e.g. online platforms) clues as to whether and to which extent these automatically generated texts are reliable, are non-existent.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This talk aims to introduce the concept of Quality Estimation and its application to Machine Translation. In other words, how to predict the &#8220;quality&#8221; of MT output when no reference is available (i.e. Evaluation cannot be done). State-of-the-art architectures will be presented and exploratory research directions will be discussed. Time permitting, the talk would finish with some pointers to open-source resources one can use to get started.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"panel-grid\" id=\"pg-25615-1\" ><div class=\"panel-grid-core\"><div class=\"panel-grid-cell\" id=\"pgc-25615-1-0\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style\" ><div class=\"margin10\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"panel-grid\" id=\"pg-25615-2\" ><div class=\"panel-grid-core\"><div class=\"panel-grid-cell\" id=\"pgc-25615-2-0\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lium.univ-lemans.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Blain-Seminaire.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/ ><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seminar from Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Blain, lecturer at University of Wolverhampton &nbsp; Date: 15\/04\/2022 Time: 11h00 Localization: IC2, Boardroom and online Speaker: Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Blain &nbsp; Quality Estimation: Application to Machine Translation. &nbsp; What is a good translation?
