| # TransQuest: Translation Quality Estimation with Cross-lingual Transformers | ||
| The goal of quality estimation (QE) is to evaluate the quality of a translation without having access to a reference translation. High-accuracy QE that can be easily deployed for a number of language pairs is the missing piece in many commercial translation workflows as they have numerous potential uses. They can be employed to select the best translation when several translation engines are available or can inform the end user about the reliability of automatically translated content. In addition, QE systems can be used to decide whether a translation can be published as it is in a given context, or whether it requires human post-editing before publishing or translation from scratch by a human. The quality estimation can be done at different levels: document level, sentence level and word level. | ||

| # TransQuest : Translation Quality Estimation with Cross-lingual Transformers. | ||
| With TransQuest, we have opensourced our research in translation quality estimation which also won the sentence-level direct assessment quality estimation shared task in [WMT 2020](http://www.statmt.org/wmt20/quality-estimation-task.html). TransQuest outperforms current open-source quality estimation frameworks such as [OpenKiwi](https://github.com/Unbabel/OpenKiwi) and [DeepQuest](https://github.com/sheffieldnlp/deepQuest). | ||
|
|
||
| TransQuest provides state-of-the-art models for translation quality estimation. | ||
|
|
||
| We are the winning solution in WMT 2020 Quality Estimation Shared Task - Sentence-Level Direct Assessment. | ||
|
|
||
| Official Documentation is available on - https://tharindudr.github.io/TransQuest. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Features | ||
| ## Features | ||
| - Sentence-level translation quality estimation on both aspects: predicting post editing efforts and direct assessment. | ||
| - Word-level translation quality estimation capable of predicting quality of source words, target words and target gaps. | ||
| - Perform significantly better than current state-of-the-art quality estimation methods like DeepQuest and OpenKiwi in all the languages experimented. | ||
| - Pre-trained quality estimation models for fifteen language pairs. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Installation | ||
| You first need to install PyTorch. The recommended PyTorch version is 1.5. | ||
| Please refer to [PyTorch installation page](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/#start-locally) regarding the specific install command for your platform. | ||
|
|
||
| When PyTorch has been installed, you can install TransQuest from source or from pip. | ||
|
|
||
| #### From pip | ||
| ## Table of Contents | ||
| 1. [Installation](https://tharindudr.github.io/TransQuest/install/) | ||
| Install TransQuest locally using pip. | ||
| 2. Architectures | ||
| Checkout the architectures implemented in TransQuest | ||
| 1. [Sentence-level Architectures](https://tharindudr.github.io/TransQuest/sentence_level_architectures/) - We have released two architectures; MonoTransQuest and SiameseTransQuest to perform sentence level quality estimation. | ||
| 2. [Word-level Architecture](https://tharindudr.github.io/TransQuest/word_level_architecture/) - We have released MicroTransQuest to perform word level quality estimation. | ||
| 3. Examples | ||
| We have provided several examples on how to use TransQuest in recent WMT quality estimation shared tasks. | ||
| 1. [Sentence-level Examples](https://tharindudr.github.io/TransQuest/sentence_level_examples/) | ||
| 2. [Word-level Examples](https://tharindudr.github.io/TransQuest/word_level_examples/) | ||
