MateCat (Machine Translation Enhanced Computer Assisted Translation)

MateCat worked at a new frontier of Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) technology, that is, how to effectively and ergonomically integrate Machine Translation (MT) within the human translation workflow. At a time in which MT was mainly trained with the objective of creating the most comprehensible output, MateCat targeted the development of MT technology aimed at minimizing the translator’s post-edit effort. To this end, MateCat developed an enhanced web-based CAT tool offering new MT capabilities, such as automatic adaption to the translated content, online learning from user corrections, and automatic quality estimation.
