Improved Sequence Labeling Algorithms and Their Applications for Translation Error Detection

Aug 2026 · International Journal of Information Technologies and Systems Approach · 0 citations

Abstract

This paper proposes an alignment-aware multi-granularity tagging framework. First, this method uses a cross-lingual pre-trained model to encode source and target language contexts jointly while explicitly modeling-level bilingual correspondences via a learnable soft alignment layer. Second, a gated local enhancement module is introduced to dynamically fuse n-gram-level surface features on top of the Transformer high-level representation, preserving fine-grained error signals that are easily smoothed by attention mechanisms. Finally, a label-aware focus loss function is designed to alleviate the extreme imbalance between positive and negative samples. This function supports joint prediction of four types of fine-grained error labels. Results showed that on the large-scale benchmark of WMT QE Shared Task 2023, covering six language pairs, alignment-aware multi-granularity tagging achieved 78.6% in Micro-F1, 72.3% in Macro-F1, and improved Recall@Rare to 62.3%, especially excelling in low-frequency error types and significantly outperforming the baseline model.
