🎉 Terminology Shared Task @WMT25: Paper Out 🎉
Highlights:
- sentence translation seems solvable, document translation is still challenging
- better systems benefit more from proper terminologies
- term-based metrics correlate poorly with general translation quality

🚨New Preprint!
In multilingual models, the same meaning can take far more tokens in some languages, penalizing users of underrepresented languages with worse performance and higher API costs. Our Parity-aware BPE algorithm is a step toward addressing this issue: 🧵
