UTH - Another Chinese Translation Memory Data Utility
This is a guest post by Henry Wang of UTH. I include a brief interview I conducted before Henry wrote this post. I think this focus on developing a data marketplace is interesting as I happen to believe that the data used to train the machine learning systems is often more important than the algorithms themselves. The number of open source toolkits available for building Neural MT system is now almost 10. I do not have a sense of whether the quality of the UTH data is better than other data utilities that exist and this post is not an endorsement of UTH by me. They, however, appear to be investing much more effort in cleaning the data, but I still feel that the metadata is still sorely lacking for real value to come from this data. And metadata is not just about domain classification. It will be interesting to see the quality of the MT systems that are built using this data, and that evidence will be the best indicator of the quality and value of this data to the MT communi...
