Machine Translation Post-editing: Training Protocol by the GALA MTPE Special Interest Group
The machine translation post-editing (MTPE) Training Special Interest Group operates as a time-limited, collaborative community project. With monthly teleconferences and offline work, the SIG is developing a set of best practices for training professionals who will conduct post-editing activities.
Once the protocol is finalized, GALA will disseminate and evangelize the recommendations and protocols.
