This paper presents the Seed-CAT submission to the WMT24 Open Language Data Initiative shared task. We detail our data collection method, which involves a computer-aided translation tool developed explicitly for translating Seed corpora. We release a professionally translated Spanish corpus and a provenance dataset documenting the translation process. The quality of the data was validated on the FLORES+ benchmark with English-Spanish neural machine translation models, achieving an average chrF++ score of 34.9.

### THE CONFERENCE WE KNOW AND WE WANT.
**COLING**, the International Conference on Computational Linguistics, is one of the premier conferences for the natural language processing and computational linguistics.

First established in 1965, the biennial COLING conference is held in diverse parts of the globe and attracts participants from both top-ranked research centers and emerging countries. Today, the most important developments in our field are taking place not only in universities and academic research institutes but also in industrial research departments including tech-startups. COLING provides opportunities for all these communities to showcase their exciting discovery.

In fall of 2022, COLING will be held in Gyeongju in a hybrid format. All participants can either present at the venue site or join virtually. As more people get vaccinated, we are happy to provide safer environments for our colleagues. We believe that COLING 2022 will be one of the conferences, free from the pandemic. The hybrid format gives presenters and sponsors a valuable opportunity to promote their companies in both an online and in-person venue. For the first time in a long time, customers can interact with their sponsor's products first-hand. The online venue, too, gives sponsors the chance to network with those unable to attend the in-person session.

The hybrid format ultimately lends itself to greater exposure for our sponsors: COLING2022 will let you reach more potential partners and customers than ever before!

This paper introduces our machine translation system (team sakura), developed for the 2024 WMT Patent Translation Task. Our system focuses on translations between Japanese-English, Japanese-Korean, and Japanese-Chinese. As large language models have shown good results for various natural language processing tasks, we have adopted the RakutenAI-7B-chat model, which has demonstrated effectiveness in English and Japanese. We fine-tune this model with patent-domain parallel texts and translate using multiple prompts.

This paper presents SETU-ADAPT's submissions to the WMT 2024 Biomedical Shared Task, where we participated for the language pairs English-to-French and English-to-German. Our approach focused on fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs), using in-domain and synthetic data, employing different data retrieval strategies. We introduce a novel MT framework, involving three autonomous agents: a Translator Agent, an Evaluator Agent and a Reviewer Agent. We present our findings and report the quality of the outputs.

The presentation explores the WMT 2024 English-to-Low-Resource Multimodal Translation Task, where seven teams submitted translations for both automatic and human evaluation. It delves into the various approaches adopted by each team, along with an analysis of their results.

An overview of non-repetitive translation task

Findings of the WMT 2024 Shared Task on Non-Repetitive Translation

Translating for low-resource languages is challenging due to limited quality data. We improved translation performance by integrating target sentence length as an additional feature to source sentence during training. We developed transformer models and evaluated across 8 language directions (English <=> Assamese, Manipuri, Khasi, and Mizo), using four different length encoding methods. Comparing these models to the baseline, we submitted two systems per language direction and present our findings here.​

A3-108 Controlling Token Generation in Low Resource Machine Translation Systems

This paper describes the submission systems of DLUT-NLP team for the WMT24 low-resource Indic language translation shared task. We participated in the translation task of four language pairs, including en-as, en-mz, en-kha, en-mni.

DLUT-NLP Machine Translation Systems for WMT24 Low-Resource Indic Language Translation

Machine Translation for low-resource languages poses significant challenges, primarily due to the limited availability of data.The WMT24 Low-Resource Indic Neural Machine Translation task challenges us to employ innovative techniques to improve machine translation for low-resource Indian languages. Our proposed solution leverages advancements in neural machine translation, focusing on methodologies such as back-translation and fine-tuning. By fine-tuning pretrained models like mBART, we achieved significant progress in translating languages such as Manipuri and Khasi. The best score was achieved for the English-to-Khasi (en-kh) primary model, with the highest BLEU score of 0.0492, chrF score of 0.3316, and METEOR score of 0.2589 (on scale of 0 to 1) and comparable scores for other language pairs.

MTNLP-IIITH: Machine Translation for Low-Resource Indic Languages

Our submission focuses on Assamese-to-English and English-to- Assamese translation, using LLMs as a baseline further fine-tuned with in-domain and synthetic data through various data retrieval strategies. To address low-resource challenges, we incorporated synthetic data generation and few-shot prompting, significantly improving translation accuracy for both language pairs. We present our findings and report on the quality of outputs achieved through these methods.

The SETU-ADAPT Submissions to the WMT24 Low-Resource Indic Language Translation Task

In this paper, we describe our system for the WMT 24 shared task of Low-Resource Indic Language Translation. We consider eng ↔ {as, kha, lus, mni} as participating language pairs. In this shared task, we explore finetun- ing of a pre-trained machine translation model, where the pretraining objective includes align- ment of embeddings of tokens from the 22 scheduled Indian languages by a carefully con- structed alignment augmentation strategy (Lin et al., 2020). Our primary system1 is based on language-specific finetuning on this pre-trained model. We achieve chrF2 scores of 50.6, 42.3, 54.9, and 66.3 on the official public test sets for eng→as, eng→kha, eng→lus, eng→mni re- spectively. We also explore multilingual train- ing with/without language grouping and freez- ing of encoder and/or embedding layers.

NLIP_Lab-IITH Low-Resource MT System for WMT24 Indic MT Shared Task

This paper presents our machine translation system that was developed for the WAT2024 MultiIndic MT shared task. We built our system for the Sindhi-English language pair. We developed two MT systems. The first system was our baseline system where Sindhi was translated into English. In the second system, we used Hindi as a pivot for the translation of text. In both the cases, we had identified the name entities and translated them into English as a preprocessing step. Once this was done, the standard NMT process was followed to train and generate MT outputs for the task. The systems were tested on the hidden dataset of the shared task
