Discourse Dependency: A Continuous Criterion for Translation Difficulty

The paper introduces discourse dependency (DDP) as a continuous measure of translation difficulty based on how far back a segment must look to resolve references. DDP is computed from named entity re‑mentions and pronominal coreference, and is validated against gold coreference with high reliability. Applying DDP to recent WMT benchmarks reveals a bias toward low‑DDP segments, and experiments show that as DDP increases, no current context‑injection strategy matches human post‑editing quality.

Evaluating Communicative Success in Machine-Translated Conversation

The paper introduces a three‑layer checklist-and-judge framework to evaluate interpreter agents that mediate live conversation across languages. It assesses semantic, pragmatic, and cultural‑social dimensions—naturalness, intent, and social appropriateness—rather than just fidelity, in both single‑turn and multi‑turn settings. Extensive validation shows that conventional MT metrics miss failures in stronger interpreters, and that context, structured instructions, and cultural cues influence communicative success.
