Lilt's translation models adapt to translators as they work, updating parameters automatically with each sentence translated. This tight loop allows adaptation to specific document-level and project-level vocabulary, structural patterns, and idiosyncrasies. Our research team focuses on fast and effective adaptation of state-of-the-art neural machine translation models using methods that are efficient enough to support large-scale personalized neural machine translation.

An interactive neural machine translation system that supports localization must do more than translate full sentences in isolation: it must make suggestions about what translators will type next in context, how they will transfer formatting from the source document to the target, and what edits will be performed by reviewers. Interactive systems must take termbases, translation memories, and contextual constraints into account for all of these suggestions. Our research team focuses on the full range of automatically generated suggestions that can improve the speed and quality of human localization work across translation, reviewing, and quality assurance.

Lilt's human-in-the-loop approach to localization places both professional translators and artificial intelligence technology together at the core of our operations. A broad range of human-computer interaction problems arise in this setting, from text-editing interfaces to assigning translators to project workflows. Our research team focuses on interaction design across the Lilt platform and data science across Lilt's business and translator community.

Inceptive technology that understands all people and culture

"So many interesting translation problems touch on cultural issues and contextual clues. If we really want to reach what we would consider the highest possible level of quality achievable, we have to build technology that better understands all people and cultures."
