Augmenting Text to Increase Translation Difficulty
Excerpt
arXiv:2608.15932v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As state-of-the-art machine translation models saturate standard benchmarks, the field needs more challenging evaluations to distinguish between models of varying quality. We propose augmenting existing benchmarks to increase translation difficulty by combining adversarial optimization with a differentiable translation difficulty estimator. Our Adversarial Translation Optimization (ATO) uses gradients from a combined difficulty and fluency objectiv
