Large language models LLMs have revolutionized natural language processing by demonstrating impressive abilities to perform a wide range of tasks, including machine translation MT. However, the quality and domain of the in-context examples used to prompt these models can significantly impact their performance for specific tasks. In this talk, I will discuss two recent papers that propose to optimize in-context examples and leverage bilingual dictionaries to enhance the quality and controllability of MT with LLMs. First, I will explore the impact of in-context examples on the translation quality of LLMs and highlight the challenges of selecting good examples in both in-domain and out-of-domain settings. Then, I will discuss how we can leverage bilingual dictionaries to provide fine-grained phrase-level control hints in the prompts of LLMs.
