Neural Machine Translation of Legal Documents for Low Resource Languages
- Developed a neural machine translation system leveraging encoder-decoder architectures and transformer-based pre-trained models (e.g., MT5). Tools like PyTorch/TensorFlow were used, focusing on low-resource languages like Sinhala-English translation.
- Addressed the complexity of legal document translation, characterized by lengthy, domain-specific texts. Existing solutions struggle with limited datasets and fail to capture the semantics and context effectively.
- Proposed a domain-specific neural machine translation system optimized for low-resource languages, incorporating preprocessing, a tailored translation model, and evaluation mechanisms (e.g., BLEU scores) to enhance accuracy and reduce translation time and errors.
