Model Fine-Tuning

Customize output with your translation with terminology, style and tone of voice

Training and Customization Approaches

 

  1. Monobrand MT for the best cost
  2. Multibrand MT for best quality
  3. Prompt engineering for best flexibility
  4. Build models to have unlimited usage

Customization Methods

Monobrand fine-tune

Customize one brand of machine translation, for example, Google AutoML or Microsoft Custom 

The service includes data preparation and model customization for one selected brand of machine translation, typically, Google, Microsoft, ModernMT, or Globalese. An engineer then runs metrics and prepares samples for an evaluation by human linguists.

The deliverables are a model and its score before and after fine-tuning.

Competitive Customization

Customize 5 different brands with your data and select the best after training.

This is the most popular approach to obtain the best models per language. An engineer and a lexicographer prepare datasets and train a selection of machine translation brands. Linguists then carry out an evaluation to identify the optimal model out of five candidates. As a result of a competitive fine-tune customization, you gain the absolute best option for your content on the market, and a back-up model for redundancy.

The competitive fine-tuning and evaluation guarantee the highest linguistic quality possible. The final deliverables are two models per language (the core and the backup), an evaluation report, and support for the model for one year.

Customize with a Prompt

Translate with OpenAI, Gemini, or another large language model with specific instructions

Large language models with prompts offer an easy way to customize machine translation output for terminology, tone of voice, formality and “do not translate” lists. 

 

In this service, Custom.MT lexicographer develops a prompt for translation with specific instructions, and iteratively improves it to achieve higher quality.

Best flexibility

Unlike machine translation models trained with a large datasets, LLM output may be improved by rewriting prompts in minutes. Iterations may be run daily, allowing for a very flexible approach in customizing MT.

Adaptive Machine Translation

Lightweight customization

Adaptive translation denotes lightweight customization without computational investments.

 

Machine translation follows the style of human translation used to customize, but does not change the underlying model. ModernMT, Amazon ACT, Google Adaptive and some other brands support this approach. 

 

 

Our service includes data preparation, automated evaluation and optimization of the output.

High flexibility and speed

Adaptive machine translation is best for scenarios with little training data available, for low-budget customization, and for machine translation programs with a high number of language combinations, where engineering for each language pair represents too great of an effort.
