Systran Partners With Taus to Provide the Systran Marketplace Community With Gold Data to Train Domain-Specific Neural Models
SYSTRAN announces a partnership with TAUS, the language data network.
SAN DIEGO, July 11, 2019 (Newswire.com) - SYSTRAN's leading AI-based Neural Machine translation technology, combined with TAUS extensive Data Cloud, will enable the creation of domain-specific Machine Translation engines in a vast range of languages to match the increasing demand for customization from business users.
SYSTRAN and TAUS have agreed to collaborate on creating a solid supply of data and models for trainers and developers of machine translation engines. The newly released SYSTRAN Marketplace will integrate with the TAUS Matching Data Service and Library. This means that users of the SYSTRAN Marketplace will easily expand their data coverage by running a clustered search in the TAUS Data Cloud or by using an already existing domain-specific corpus from the TAUS Matching Data Library.
Data is a goldmine for Machine Translation
“Machine Translation is a simple sum of data and algorithms,” says Jaap van der Meer, director of TAUS. “In this equation, the data is becoming more and more important. Especially now in the age of neural networks, the quality of the systems we build is directly linked to the quality and the domain specificity of the data we use. TAUS is very pleased to collaborate with the SYSTRAN Marketplace and through this channel give many more users access to valuable TAUS data.”
The TAUS Data Cloud currently contains around 35 billion words of good quality translation data in more than 600 language pairs. In January 2019, TAUS released the Matching Data Service and Library on top of the TAUS Data Cloud. Matching Data allows users to build customized corpora training of domain-specific MT engines. TAUS partners with companies like Oracle, eBay, Dell, RWS Moravia to build corpora tailored to vertical domains.
SYSTRAN meets business users needs with a marketplace for professional translation
SYSTRAN, a pure player in machine translation solutions for 50 years, launches SYSTRAN Marketplace. This new offer is disrupting the market by bringing unique business value: a community-based platform, in-domain models, with a responsible approach on data security and intellectual property. This partnership with TAUS gives SYSTRAN Marketplace a vast expansion in coverage of domains and languages to meet worldwide users’ needs in a variety of markets.
Jean Senellart, President of SYSTRAN Group, explains “The quality of Machine Translation has never been greater, however even though online service offers are booming, MT technology adoption by industry users is still lagging. With SYSTRAN Marketplace, we aim to provide business users with best-of-breed components to implement their machine translation project: state of the art technology of course but also in-domain data and human expertise to build and train the translation models to reach their expectations. Through this partnership, we will be providing our trainer network with a unique access to an evolving high-quality data collection.”
