Talk Title: How Much Information Does a Human Translator Add to the Original?
Series: Natural Language Seminar
Abstract: We ask how much information a human translator adds to an original text, and we provide a bound. We address this question in the context of bilingual text com- pression: given a source text, how many bits of additional information are required to specify the target text produced by a human translator? We develop new compression algorithms and establish a benchmark task.
Host: Nima Pourdamghani and Kevin Knight
