Porting such a system to a new language usually means machine-translating the English training data and then projecting slot labels onto the translations. That projection step is error-prone, particularly for languages that… 2. **[Understanding and Detecting Hallucinations in Neural Machine Translation via Model Introspection](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2023-understanding-detecting-hallucinations-neural-machine/)** *(2023 · 85 citations)* Neural machine translation systems sometimes produce "detached hallucinations," which are outputs largely unrelated to the source sentence. ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Eleftheria Briakou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/eleftheria-briakou/) - [Marine Carpuat](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/marine-carpuat/) - [Saab Mansour](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/saab-mansour/) - [Sweta Agrawal](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sweta-agrawal/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2020/) - [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/): [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL) 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/2023/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 112 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [15 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/weijia-xu/cited-by/).
