TACTICS is a method for selecting evaluation samples in machine translation that explicitly optimizes for coverage of rare linguistic categories, document-level coherence, and distributional fidelity to the full corpus. It builds a hierarchical taxonomy from a locale style guide, classifies segments, and chooses a fixed-budget subset that better represents the full range of phenomena a system must handle. Compared to random, lexical, or embedding-based selection, TACTICS improves coverage of rare categories and yields more accurate system rankings with fewer segments.

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in generating semantically relevant concepts and relations, making them promising tools for taxonomy enrichment. However, directly relying on LLM-generated expansions often leads to noisy, redundant, or hierarchically inconsistent structures, limiting their reliability for automated taxonomy expansion.

TransClean introduces a benchmark for identifying and removing translation noise—unwanted text such as language labels, explanations, or bilingual repetitions—from large language model (LLM) outputs. The authors analyzed 790,000 translations from 12 LLMs across 22 language pairs, cataloguing 12 common noise patterns and creating 9,900 noisy‑clean pairs (8,800 synthetic, 1,100 authentic). They evaluated two extraction methods—a span‑based approach using quality estimation models and an LLM‑prompted method—demonstrating the first systematic framework to assess and improve translation cleanliness.

The paper presents a pipeline that leverages large language models to extract grammatical rules, example sentences, and lexicons from descriptive grammar books, producing synthetic parallel corpora for fine‑tuning machine translation models. Evaluated on three low‑resource languages—Kalamang, Tuatschin, and Mandan—the synthetic data improves translation quality over seed‑data baselines in 75% of configurations for Kalamang and 59% for Tuatschin, achieving up to +8.8 ChrF++ gains. A factorial study across 96 configurations identifies which combinations of target part‑of‑speech, retrieval granularity, and sample volume drive performance gains and where they fail, demonstrating that static linguistic documentation can be repurposed for practical translation tools for severely under‑resourced languages.
